WAIT WHAT? ITS PDAY AGAIN?

 Definitely woke up thinking that it was Wednesday not Saturday... oh well! Happy Pday! This week was so good!

Saturday: SS GREAT BRITAIN!
-As a district we went to this HUGE church from the 1600s! That was pretty cool! 
-Then we went to this AMAZING museum about the SS Great Britain ship. It was awesome! We got to go on the boat and into all the rooms! The museum was so realistic... even the smells from the 1800s... haha! 
-Tried my first Mr. Whippy! (Soft served ice cream in the UK)

Sunday: MOTHER'S DAY 
-It was Mother's Day here in the UK! We went whiteboard finding! We went to the shopping center and had people write what they "love about their Mum!" It was awesome!

Thursday: ULTIMATE IN THE MUD
- I know this doesn't surprise anyone, but it rained a lot this week... like "chuckin" rain. Every morning we either play basketball or ultimate frisbee together as a district, it's a party! This morning we played ultimate... but it was so muddy!! Everyone was slipping and sliding in the mud! It was awesome!!!
-There was another ZC! This week I got to see Sister Olander again! Such a blessing!
- We had an amazing lesson with our friend Kira! Love her so much!

For a crazy story: We went to this lady's house to give her a Book of Mormon... The next couple of days she sent us these creepy voice messages and thought we have been following her. She told us that she ripped up the Book of Mormon, burnt it, and threw it in the Rubbish... then asked for repentance and asked us to come back. Ain't no way. No thanks.

Scripture of the week: Moroni 7: 42-47 
42 Wherefore, if a man have faith he must needs have hope; for without faith there cannot be any hope. 
43 And again, behold I say unto you that he cannot have faith and hope, save he shall be meek, and lowly of heart. 
44 If so, his faith and hope is vain, for none is acceptable before God, save the meek and lowly in heart; and if a man be meek and lowly in heart, and confesses by the power of the Holy Ghost that Jesus is the Christ, he must needs have charity; for if he have not charity he is nothing; wherefore he must needs have charity. 
45 And charity suffereth long, and is kind, and envieth not, and is not puffed up, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil, and rejoiceth not in iniquity but rejoiceth in the truth, beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.
46 Wherefore, my beloved brethren, if ye have not charity, ye are nothing, for charity never faileth. Wherefore, cleave unto charity, which is the greatest of all, for all things must fail— 
47 But charity is the pure love of Christ, and it endureth forever; and whoso is found possessed of it at the last day, it shall be well with him.

Love ya'll and Jesus loves you too!!!

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 ...

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 ...
