Share Sista Pope's adventures as she serves a mission in jolly ole' England. I (Mama Jane) will be posting excerpts from her letters. Check back often and leave some love in the comments! I'll be sure she sees it.
I could tell you all the high lights of the week, but for now, I will just tell you about the most remarkable thing that we do everyday. We go outside and we invite people to learn more about Jesus Christ, because He means something to us. We stop complete strangers, because we feel a sense of love for them. We repeatedly get told to go away and to give up. The most remarkable thing that we do everyday is that we keep doing it.
So with this whole Royal Wedding business, it got me thinking - what does this have to do with the gospel? It was so cool to see everyone so excited about a marriage. I was talking with a LDS schoolteacher of 5 year olds. Out of her whole class, only one or two of them had parents that were married - most of them didn't even know what a wedding was. So what did they do? They performed a mock wedding, using the 5 year olds! It was adorable! I was just thinking about all of this, and thinking about how no one takes marriage seriously anymore, but think about it, no matter how much William and Kate love each other, Kate was not a “princess” until she married William. There's power in promises and even more in covenants.
