AANND WE ARE BACK!

Aaannnnd we are back! Welcome to another update from the Miracle Land of Cheltenham! Halfway through the transfer and I haven't fallen down the stairs of the bus yet! Miracle in my book! Your prayers are working! Tuesday: MORE AVOCADO MILKSHAKES! - We had exchanges this week and I got to stay in Cheltenham with Sister Eusebio! I seriously love her so much! It was a total party of a day! - Did we end our day with her legendary avocado milkshake? 110% we did! Idk how she did it without a blender... but she did haha! - We also found one of those old portable DVD players (the ones that everyone's grandma has for some reason haha) and watched a church movie after 9! It was a party. The movie was about the pioneers and it ended up being a sappy romance... my missionary eyes could barely handle it! Jkjkjk Thursday: CUTEST FAMILY ON THE BLOCK - Thursday was a crazy busy day! We didn't have 1 or 2 lessons but we had... 4 lessons in one day! That has never happened for me! I loved it! - We first taught our new friend Sekou! He was also a Bible referral and wants to do bible studies with us! It was a very good lesson! Next time he says that he's going to invite his friends! Let's go! - Then we taught Damien! It's been a struggle to find a time to meet with him, so we were super grateful that we were able to! That was a miracle for sure! We taught him about the Plan of Salvation! He really liked it and had a lot of good insights! The Mulligan sisters, Hanna and Leah, also joined us! One just got home from her mission and one is about to leave! They are legends! - After that we got to teach Rehana, Matthew, and Ryden! We also taught them about the Plan of Salvation! Rehana absolutely loved it! It was such a powerful lesson! They are all so excited to learn more! I swear Matthew and Rayden are the most well behaved kids ever! Cutest family around! Rehana even bought snacks for us! Sweetest person I have ever met! - The last lesson was with Canice. It has been very hard to get a hold of him, so it was another miracle to have a lesson! It also went well! Friday: CPR - We had a lesson with another new friend named Michael! Sister Lacour last week was messaging everyone in our contacts named Michael and this one said that he would like to meet with missionaries again and is excited to have more of God in his life! Another miracle! He is a pretty cool guy and we taught him about CPR! (No not cardiopulmonary resuscitation) CPR stands for what can save our lives spiritually= Church, Prayer, Read! We will be meeting with him again next week! - Finally had a lesson with our friend UC! UC has been taught by missionaries for a while, but is super busy. So another miracle and CPR lesson! He is a cool guy too! Anand that's all for this week! Thanks for tuning in! Love y'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 ...
