DO I HAVE YOUR ATTENTION?

This past week was busy for the Public Affairs staff in England as media requests for interviews of members and Church spokespersons started coming fast and furious in as a result of the Church’s ad campaign. We were thrilled to see eye-catching “I’m A  Mormon” and "Ask a Mormon" ads on the sides of the double-decker buses in London and plastered all over Charing Cross subway station. Church at the Hyde Park chapel on Sunday was fast meeting. Interesting that we only heard British accents maybe twice, including a baby blessing, sacrament, opening/closing prayers and the Bishop (an American).  The ward was very large and I think quite transient as several members stood to say goodbye as they were moving.  The Church in England has seen only nominal growth over the past decade and we hope this effort to raise awareness and let people know we are just normal people will result in more opportunities for people to hear the gospel. We enjoyed our visit to England and hope we were able to help in a small way.
