Have a Great Door!

What is up everybody! Sister Masima and I have been on a total grind this week in the blessed land of Bristol! This week was so so good! The sun has been shining all week! It's starting to feel like summer here!!! Funny Story: - We were tracting and the sun was shining! It was so nice! But sometimes the sun reflects off of the white doors and you can't even look at them! Sister Masima and I knocked on this really clean and bright door and we were discussing how we liked it, then a lady answered it. At the end of the conversation instead of saying, "Have a great day!" I said, "Have a great door!" The lady was very confused... haha! Sunday- BASHERS AND BETTY - Church this week was... interesting... Our friend Betty came to church again! Woot woot! It was a testimony meeting and someone was sharing how we can overcome Satan with God. But then... we just hear this yelling... "DO NOT USE HIS NAME WHEN YOU MENTION GOD!" The Elders brought a friend to church too... turns out he is a reverend for another church and he just came to bash us... it was pretty entertaining haha. The Elders handled it way better than I could! I was worried that it would scare Betty off, but then she looked at me and said, "Don't worry! I'm not going anywhere!" I LOVE BETTY! Wednesday- FAITH TO FIND - Our STLs have been giving us Christlike attributes to look for each week, and this week we were asked to focus on FAITH! And man! We went out everyday with the faith that we would be able to find at least 1 person to talk with us. We went tracting on Wednesday and we met our friend Amira! At first it looked like the conversation wasn't going to lead to anything, but then I had a thought to give her a Plan of Salvation pamphlet. I told her that it explains where we came from, why we are here, and where we are going. Amira looked at us with complete shock and said, "You know where we came from?" Then we were able to teach her basically the whole Plan of Salvation right there on her doorstep! BUT THAT'S NOT ALL! On the back of the pamphlet it mentioned the Book of Mormon and asked us what it was and we were able to teach her a bit about it! She is from Romania so we told her that she could have her own copy in Romanian and English! It was so cool! I love you all and I hope you all have a fantastic week! Love ya 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 ...

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 ...
