DID SOMEONE ORDER SOME MIRACLES? OR SOME CHURROS?

Hey! Did you order a miracle? Cause I got a few! Cheltenham has yet again continued to amaze me! This week was also so good! Pop off Cheltenham! Plus we got to go to Bristol for zone conference! Let's go! Monday: HEY! CAN MY GIRLFRIEND JOIN? - So we have been getting A TON of referrals that want bibles! That is so awesome! But... we don't have any bibles in Cheltenham left... soooo we have been offering bible studies while we wait for the bibles to arrive. - We had one of these bible studies over video call with our friend Mattie (a dude)! He is in his 20s and at the beginning he asked if his girlfriend, Olivia could join us! Of course we said yes! Both Mattie and Olivia are new to Christianity and have been looking for a church to join! They have also wanted to make Christian friends! Look no further! Cheltenham has the best YA around! - It was such a great discussion and honestly the spirit was so so strong! I loved hearing who Jesus Christ is to them and how He changed their lives! Mattie and Oliva were so excited and happy the whole time! - During the call we asked if they had any questions and Mattie said, "I'm so sorry if this offends you, but I just got to ask! Do Mormons have multiple wives???" We laughed and I responded, " Nope! I don't think anyone could handle that many in-laws!" We all had a good laugh! - Then! Olivia had a question, but got super shy. So Mattie asked, "She's embarrassed to ask, but can she get baptized into your church?" So we explained to them what exactly baptism is, why we do it, and how to prepare for it! It's going to be awesome!!! Tuesday: HELP! I ORDERED TOO MUCH FOOD! - Tuesday morning we got a frantic call from Brother Taylor(a sweet old man that we do service for). He called and said, "SISTERS! I NEED HELP! I ORDERED TOO MUCH FOOD!" Basically he was inviting us over for lunch, but he needed it to sound urgent haha! - Brother Taylor invited another member, Sister Lizzy Roberts! And y'all will never believe what I found out! Sister Roberts served with my Grandma and Grandpa Draper during their mission! What a small world! When I told her who my grandparents were, she said, "Of course I remember the Drapers! I loved the Drapers!" I was trying very hard to fight back tears haha! Thursday: ZONE CONFERENCE - Had another killer zc! Felt very early this transfer, but it was so good! Got to see and catch up with Sister Boamah and Sister Olander! (Idk what it is but I am filled with eternal happiness and excitement when I see Sister Olander! (not a joke) I am very much looking forward to doing exchanges with her!) - Everyone who was in my MTC district that is serving in Bristol were there! The legends: Sister Eusebio, Sister Evans, Elder Smith, and Elder Fruhauf! Saturday: FREE CHURROS - We started Saturday with a fantastic lesson with our friend, Rehana! We taught her about the Restoration and the Book of Mormon and how it works with the Bible! She loved it! After we told her about the Book of Mormon she asked, "Where can I get this book?!?" It was amazing! We will be teaching her family as well! Let's go! - We went to the city centre to do some street contacting! Guess what! I saw a churro stand in the market! Of course I wanted to compare them to the churros from my truck... so we got some to eat while we texted some people haha! (Churro Bros wins) When we sat down... Sister Lacour dropped her churros... so we went back to get some more. When we got there they were sold out! We were about to turn away, but then the churro man gave us all of the churros that were too cold to sell! FOR FREE! If that's not a Christlike act... idk what is! The churros were good too! Mine had Nutella and Biscoff! (Dad write that down) Sunday: OUR FRIENDS LOVE JESUS - Rehana and her 2 sons came to church! Her sons are Matthew(14) and Ryden(4)! About the most adorable family ever! The ward welcomed them in right away and showed her kids around and invited them to class! It was awesome! Rehana said, "Wow everyone here is so welcoming! I never get this at my other church." Let's go members! - We had a lesson with our new friend Emmanuella (bible referral) about the Restoration of the church, Prophets, and the Book of Mormon! It was so good! We asked her how she would feel if there was a prophet here today and she said, "I would feel so relieved and happy if there was a prophet here today." Well... guess what Emmanuella... there is! She loved it! Now we are going to be reading the Bible and the Book of Mormon with her! Emmanuella is also YA! Let's go! Sorry (but not really) about the long email! It was such a great week of miracles! Love you all 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 ...
