The field is white

We received the following email from Elder Olivier on July 25, 2022. 

As mentioned in the previous email, I was moved to a new area, still serving in the same ward in Hyde Park though. This new area is super cool- there are so many people and so much city! One of the coolest things about that is there are tons of people from all over the world. Every once in a while I hear someone speaking Russian and it's so fun to talk to them! Yesterday we got a flat tire so we went to a park bench to sit down so we could fix it. Next to the bench was a sidewalk which crossed a road 50 yards away. While we were figuring out the tire, a huge crowd of around a hundred people crossed the street and walked on the sidewalk next to us. This happened repeatedly for the entire time we were there. It turns out the Weeknd had a concert at soldier field which had attracted numerous concourses of people.  

On Saturday, we got to witness the fruits of the long- awaited labors of the handful of missionaries who worked with our friend Evelyn. She's been working towards baptism for 6 months and was finally baptized!!!!!! She was so excited to enter into that promise with God. 

One of my favorite verses in the Bible is John 14:15 - "If ye love me, keep my commandments." It's been so cool to see others make the decision to prioritize God through keeping the commandments!

I hope you all have the best week yet...
