This is a statue of a lion in a park.  It is Huge!!!  The work has been a little difficult lately but if we look at the good side some one is preparing for baptism!  We have an investigator who is going to be baptized we had to move his baptism to September 10th because his family is out of town. he mom is even here in the uk and will be for his baptism!! the lord does work in mysteries ways. there has been alot of opposition this week but we have pulled through it.
Elder Bednar is Coming to England September 3 and 4 to the reading stake!! he is also doing a mission conference to. so i will see him about three times!!! how awesome is that!! ther is a young single adult fireside that saturday and then a stake conference the following morning and then that afternoon is the mission conference. it is going to be really cool. England is the coolest place ever!!!!!
the ward here has found out that i can play the organ. this could turn out to be good. their main organ player has moved to go to college in london. the asked me to play yesterday. luckily another member stepped in and played the organ amazingly so that the ward would not have to endure my horrible playing.
people really do look up to this church and know that there is something different about it. some people specify it as the devil but i know that it is of god. the book of mormon is the word of god and that it has the power to strengthen us as members of the Church of JESUS CHRIST of Latter-Day Saints and the power to  change the lives of people who read its truth. our mission president came out with a slogan that i really love.
Faith is the Power -- Time is the Resource -- Obedience is the Blessing -- Love is the Motive -- The Spirit is the Key --Christ is the Reason. 
i leave you this testimony in the name of our savior, jesus christ amen.

4th of July English Style

This picture is Elder Burton and I spending the Fourth of July at an American's house. they bought a watermelon and it was yellow!!! there are no red watermelon over here, at least none that we can find.
There is a woman who has brought more than three hundred people into the church here in England. She makes street contacting seem very easy. and it is to her. That is one of my biggest struggles right now is street contacting. i LOVE knocking and bus contacting but there is just something about street contacting that scares me.
well this church is true. and Jesus Christ leads it through a prophet called Thomas s Monson. i love my Savior and that is why i am here in England.
love Elder Beardall
