WHITE CHAPEL WARD, WALTHAMSTOW ENGLAND

Mission Sundays in England

       We have been assigned to the White Chapel ward.  We travel by two different underground lines and walk 20 min.  A total of  about 1 hr, 15min.  

White Chapel ward is a fun amazing ward and very different from Perry 1^st Ward.   There are about

25 % English, 25 % Americans, and 50 % Saints from African or Caribbean countries.

    Each Sunday there are lots of hugs and visiting.  Everyone seems happy to get back to ward members.  You really feel that they are a ward family.

    You have to listen carefully in class.  Many members have learned the “Kings English” (which is sometimes a struggle for us) as a second language.  In other words, we are two accents away from

what they have to say. It is  well worth the effort to listen carefully.  They are wonderful people with stories of conversion and leaving their homes. 

  We have it pretty easy as members in the States.

This Sunday we going to help a 90 yr old Sister with her Personal History and Genealogy.  Just think! She was in England during World War II.  I’ll bet  she has a story to tell.  I’ll let you know next blog.
