We have attended another fireside at the Visitors Centre this past Sunday night. It was entitled "Why I Believe". Donovan McFarlane, first counselor in the Crawley Stake Presidency came and gave his conversion story with a slide presentation. His conversion story was very inspiring and the spirit was very strong. Right after this fireside we attended a "Hi" fireside in the Accommodation Centre and heard four more conversion stories from two new Temple Missionary couples who just recently arrived, Brother and Sister Jones and Brother and Sister Topham. A very spiritual evening.
This past Saturday we viewed a televised Remembrance Day Ceremony from the Royal Albert Hall. It was the most inspiring Remembrance Day Ceremony we have ever seen. The Queen, Prince Phillip and others of the Royal Family were there in attendance. It was an amazing tribute to the armed forces who served in the Second World War and soldiers currently serving around the world. Stories of soldiers killed in Afghanistan were highlighted. We were pleased to see that the ceremony included the Lord's Prayer and words and hymns of gratitude and praise to God.
On Sunday the 3 members of the Bishopric spoke and focused their talks on the Remembrance Day theme. It showed how deeply the people here in England feel about the sacrifice of their soldiers to preserve their freedom. We were very impressed.
Love from Elder and Sister Kiddle
