Week 60



Hello from The Hyde Park visitors center.

We have church in person again and everyone is so nice! We all feel excited for things to start opening up again. 

We also started giving virtual tours to everyone that would like to see the Hyde Park Chapel here in London! This week we gave one to President and Sister Checketts and they said "It is a powerful and inviting way to share what we believe and the history of the Hyde Park chapel." 

You all are invited!  It's not Buckingham palace, but it is even better because it is a place where so many come to learn about Jesus Christ. Please bring your families and friends to see a tour given by the London missionaries! 

Email me privately if you would like to know the times for the tours that my companion and I will be giving. Abigail.levie@missionary.org 

Although I miss the mixican food from home, I am learning to love the british "delicacies''. This week I discovered crumpets and I LOVE them! They are like a pancake but not as flat and it has holes in the top... anyways it's very good. It's the closest thing I can get to a pancake because their pancakes are more like crepes. 

The power of prayer:
Last week we had 5 lessons planned and only one of them answered, I say answered because we are still not meeting in person, everything is over phone or video call. We decided to pray to know how we could use this time, and Sister Ahumada felt that we should call some members and introduce ourselves. Getting out the list, we read through some names and prayed again to know which member we should call. One specific name stood out so we called her. After speaking with her for 10 mins we found out that she works the night shift and feels distant from the ward because she sleeps while everyone else is awake. Towards the end of our call we shared Philippians 4:13 "I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me" Cynthia started softly crying and said that us calling was an answer to her prayer earlier that day. The spirit was so strong and my testimony is now stronger. I know that God directs us and helps to help those who need it the most. Each of us have our ministering assignments and we have the chance to be an answer to someone's prayer! 

I love being a missionary in London. The people here are amazing. Thank you all for your prayers! I challenge all of you to say a prayer of gratitude for the first thing that you feel grateful for. 

Love,
Sister Levie

Week 17: Rainbows & Prayers

May 4th 2020 Week 17: Rainbows & Prayers Hello family This week I hit 4 months on the mission! Wow!  In some ways I feel like it's been a life time and in others ways has flown by. I think I've learned more about the gospel these past 4 months than I have throughout my entire life. It's been crazy and I've loved every second! We had some really incredible lessons this week, hearts being softened and allowing the savior to enter. It is such a privilege to share the message of the atonement and then to watch it work in people's lives. There is nothing more powerful or meaningful and I am so grateful that I get to be out here sharing the love! London rain is back!! and this was not just any rain, we got poured on and drenched and to the bone!! But we enjoyed it.  We had a fanatic lesson with Phumlani, my friend from Africa. He was wondering if God really heard his prayers because sometimes he didn't feel like it. He felt like He had gone too far and couldn'

Week 34: "Come again??" and Spiritual Gifts

August 31st Week 34: "Come again??" and Spiritual Gifts   Well Hello Family!  Transfers!! We will get to the transfer calls later. This week we had our FIRST Sunday service at the chapel! Have you started? It was so nice to meet some of the members face to face and bring some of our friends that we are teaching. It's so crazy to think that 30 people is referred to as a big crowd. Haha, yeah... we don't get out much ; ) Speaking of, online work has been fantastic! We just invited our friend Rodgers from Uganda to be baptised and he said YES!! Then he said "I was wondering when you were going to ask me, what took you so long?" It's amazing how people come alive when they hear the gospel, it makes such a big difference in people's lives. Funny fact. When the connection is really bad in Africa and we can't hear them very well, all we hear from the phone is "Come again". They also say please after everything. Ex "Thank you so so much pl

Week 75: Hello From London

June 14th 2021 Week 75 Hello from London England Since I last wrote I have had two companions, Sister Milone from France, and now I have been transferred to a new area and my companion is Sister Rodriguez from Spain. I am back in Hyde Park and I love it. In the last few weeks we’ve been able to see many of the sights of London: the Natural History Museum, Piccadilly Square, Big Ben, China Town, and The London Eye. Although we enjoyed ourselves, the greatest highlight of the last little bit has been being able to street contact again! As a mission, after being in lock down for 16 months, we can now contact people on the street. We call it “Hiya time” where we just say hello to people, we ask them questions about their day and hold our books of mormon. This disarms most Londoners because they don’t typically say hello to strangers.  One day we had prayed specifically to find one person who needed God that day. We had half an hour and as we made our way up to Hyde park we found a man name
