Voted Off The Island...

 This week was definitely an emotional and physical roller coaster haha! Get ready...

Tuesday: Valentine's Day... 
- Went to the mainland for a doctor's appointment for my knee. They said that nothing was wrong with it, but since it was a private clinic they had to give us a referral for an x-ray.
- One of my favorite ward members, Lis, got super sick last week. Lis is the happiest lady and shines everywhere she goes! She had purple hair and was always wearing bright colors! Lis would make us dinner and drive us places all the time! She always took care of the missionaries! Sadly, on Tuesday morning Lis passed away. This was very heartbreaking to the ward and all of the sisters who have served on the island. I am so grateful for the Plan of Salvation! Because of this, we can all be with our loved ones again!

Thursday: 1st Zone Conference!
-Oh my goodness zone conference was amazing!! I got to see some of my favorite people! Sister Evans and Elder Smith from my MTC district!!! 
- We were fortunate to hear from an area seventy, Elder Boom. He is so cool! I loved his devotional! Elder Boom talked about:
•Finding power in your time and respecting that time.
•The promised land is where YOU are!
•LET Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ help you!
•Your faith will carry you!
The Gospel is simple, so answer simply. 
- I was able to get an x-ray! I took a picture of it and sent it to my medical coordinator, Sister Wallace= the G.O.A.T.

Friday: I'm not coordinated enough for crutches...
- On the way home we had to take this big carpet cleaner... if you thought people looked at missionaries weird before... just wait until you have a backpack, suitcase, hair dryer, and a carpet cleaner...
- Sister Wallace got back to me with my results... she had sent my x-ray to the medical coordinator who is over all of the England missions, he is also a radiologist... so that was a miracle! I have a chip fracture in my knee... so I am currently on crutches! (Now people will really look at me weird haha) It happened when I fell on that Double Decker Bus and sprained both ankles, I whacked my knee too and turns out, it's worse than the ankles. Not sure how bad it is yet and if I'll be put in a cast, but I am just grateful for the medical coordinators! So many miracles really! It is very common to have to wait a long time for appointments here and I have been blessed multiple times now to see a doctor pretty soon, even the same day with the x-ray appointment! 

Sunday: Got voted off the island...
- I am being transferred to Bristol! I will now be in the office as a Digital Finding Teaching Coordinator (DFTC), so I am one of the social media sisters now! I am going to miss Sister Olander so so much! And the island too! But I know that this is where I need to be! I will be close to doctors, have a car, and many more amazing things!

Thank you all for your prayers and kind messages! Love you all 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 ...
