Saved by Ben and Jerry's!

Hello everybody! This week was awesome! I am so grateful to be here in England to share the gospel and spread God's love! Apologies in advance for the longer email haha! Monday: SNAIL SLAYER - Sister Jorgensen and I went to go do some gardening services for this old lady, or so we thought... we went back there and it was a full on forest... and we did not have any tools... It was crazy! We did what we could! And OH MY GOODNESS! I have never seen so many snails in my life! I tried not to step on them... but that was impossible. I murdered at least 200 snails... - Sister Jorgensen and I also got to go to this beautiful park for some studying time and this super cute dog came up to us. We started talking to the owner, Debbie, and she quickly realized that we are not English haha! We started talking and she said that she's always been curious about the Book of Mormon and asked for a pamphlet about it so she could buy one. Little did she know that we had one for her for FREE! She was so excited about it! Wednesday: PREACHING AT THE HOSPITAL - I got my results back from my MRI! Long story short, I need surgery but not right now! Woot woot! Satan can't get rid of me that easily haha! - After my appointment the receptionist asked to talk with us. When she pulled us aside she asked if we were Mormon missionaries and we told her yes! She got so excited and emotional! Her sister's family is part of the church and loves going to church with them! She said that she was so grateful that we came in that day because she had a terrible week. She gave us the biggest hugs ever! It just made my day! Even though in the end she wasn't interested in learning about the gospel, it is just amazing to think about the impacts we have as missionaries on those around us! Friday: SENIOR MISSIONARIES FOR THE WIN! - If there's one thing that us stressed and confused missionaries need in a different country... It's grandparents. I am so grateful for the senior missionaries that we have in the office! The McDonalds and the Wallaces! They are just the sweetest and most kind hearted people ever! Also so so funny! Sister Jorgensen and I had quite a week with giving 6 trainings this week! Then the McDonalds came in and they had bought all the missionaries in the office Ben and Jerry's ice cream! It just made my whole day! Saturday: PDAY! - We started the day off with the best thing ever! RUGBY! I am now "Coach Hope" haha! Everyone in the office is starting to get it down and it is so fun! - We got to go hiking and caving! It was so gorgeous! We went to the Mendip Hills and to the Rock of Ages! It was so cool! Hope Y'all have a wonderful week! Love you all so much and Jesus loves you too!

  Hey Ya'll! My Pdays are now on Saturdays because I'm in the office! I'm also becoming quite the expert when it comes to the crutches haha! Monday & Tuesday: Last Days on the Island  - Had my last dinner with Dennis! He went all out! He made us steak and potatoes with a trifle! So good! Dennis was a blacksmith back in the day and he made Sister Olander and I rings! He is just the sweetest! I'm going to miss him so much!  - Got to go to the Needles one more time with the STLs! So gorgeous! - Signed the Isle of Wight sword! Wednesday: NEW COMPS! - I am now in a trio with Sister Burggraaf and Sister Jorgensen as Digital Finding Teaching Coordinators (DFTC Sisters)! We teach missionaries and ward members how to find and teach by using Facebook! So cool! I am learning so much from these Sisters! They are basically celebrities in the mission! - SISTER BURGGRAAF: If a Disney princess was real, it would be Sister Burggraaf! She is the sweetest person I have ever met! Siste...

Driving on the Wrong Side of the Road!

Hey everyone! Hope you are all doing well! This week was awesome!!! I started driving here in England last week! It's definitely an adjustment to drive on the left side! But! I can say with confidence that I have seen the Lord's hand in my life everyday... cause there's no way I would still be alive without Him...haha! People here drive crazy! I still don't understand, but I'll get there!!! Sunday: EASTER! - I loved spending Easter as a missionary! Just having my whole life focused on Jesus Christ made it so amazing! I got to sing a musical number with Elder Little and Elder Jaccod while Sister Jorgensen played the piano and Elder Hansen played the cello! It was awesome! All the cute British grandmas were crying haha! - I got to reflect a lot on why I believe in Christ. Lately a lot of people have been telling me that I don't believe in Jesus... even though I am a missionary for the Church of JESUS CHRIST of Latter-day Saints... So I thought I would share my ...

YAY! I'M NOT A FAILURE!

Hey everyone! Guess what! I get to stay in the blessed land of Swindon for at least another 6 weeks! Woot woot! Tuesday: GOD & SCIENCE - We got to teach Jemima again and help her prep for her baptism! (Never had a baptism before... please send advice haha!) - We taught her about the Word of Wisdom and the Law of Chastity with an amazing member, Emma! The lesson was so cool! When we were teaching Jemima everything, she was so on board! Jemima studied Biology and was telling us how all the principles about the WoW and the LoC was backed by science! And Emma also studied science and mental health so Jemima and Emma were just bouncing off of one another! It was so cool! Wednesday: PRIESTHOOD POWER - I had my theory (written) test for my UK drivers license this week and I was beyond nervous. This would be my 3rd time taking it (yes, I know 3rd time) and I really need to pass it. I had studied so hard and prayed for the last 2 times but failed by 1 question. Test taking has never been ...
