WILD BOARS ARE REAL

First things first. I SAW 2 WILD BOARS!!!! They really do exist!!! So that made this week pretty legendary! Monday-Wednesday: SISTER WILCOXEN - I got to go on exchanges with Sister Wilcoxen this week in the Forest! She is from Ogden, Utah and this was her first exchange! She is so sweet and it was fun getting to know her! We of course had to make it a pretty good first exchange! These are some adventures we went on: • Good little walk to see the baby sheep for morning exercise • Ended a good tracting session by going to the milk shed (tried blueberry milk) • Comp study at a pub (don't worry we only got a pepsi) - We also got to teach Maddie! We taught her about Tithing, Fasting and Fast Offerings! It went so well! We asked Maddie how paying tithing, fasting, and donating fast offerings would help her grow her faith, and this is what she said! "Well if my tithing helped build a temple or helped feed someone, then I would have faith that it was going towards something good. I don't have to worry about where my money goes." Wednesday: POWER OF THE ATONEMENT - We got to teach Onika again! She is one of the strongest and most amazing people I have ever met! We had such a powerful lesson about the Atonement of Jesus Christ! Onika shared some of her past experiences with us and coming to know her Savior. Let's just say I was shedding a few tears... or maybe more than a few. - Onika was able to watch general conference and thought it was so amazing! She was able to receive so many answers to her questions and felt like those talks were written just for her! I am so grateful for her testimony and for the speakers at general conference! Friday: EVERYTHING IS WORKING OUT - We were able to teach Jon again! He has not been available lately and has been going through a rough time, but now he is ready to keep learning! God's timing is real! He was able to watch general conference too! He loved it! We taught Jon about fasting and he thinks it's the coolest thing ever and he was excited to participate in fast Sunday! - We taught Maddie again! We taught her about the temple and she told us that she wants to go to the temple to make covenants with her Heavenly Father, but first wants to be baptized! Let's go Maddie! So it was a pretty good week! This upcoming week is transfer week... so I will find out tomorrow where I will be and who I will be with for my last transfer! How crazy is that??? 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 ...
