We were told that our small branch of about 40 members would be a ward in one year, the due date for the completion of the chapel. We would be a part of the first Stake in London.
That seemed like a mighty challenge, with so few members at the time. We had been meeting on Sundays up the road of the new to be chapel in the American Air Force School.
The next year was a year of miracle after miracle. We had so many people join the church that year, under so many great experiences that it truly converted me to the fact that this is the Lords work and will.
When the building was completed we had our Stake and Ward.
The chapel has a pipe organ and the church sent Alexander Schreiner, the Taberancle Organist to perform two concerts a day. This added to the missionary success and more miraculous experiences.
I worked in London the entire year, following an initial three week stint in Gravesend, Kent.
These were amazing times.
