Heeeeyyyyy!!!!! Okay. We had the opportunity to go to Gadfield Elm for zine conference. Its the oldest chapel in the church, and where the first missionaries, Wilford Woodruff met to teach. We went to the pond where he baptized 64 people too. For like 150 years the chapel was completely in disarray. The local members bought it and fixed it up. The story behind it is so amazing. We were able to look at the Gloucester cathedral where Harry Potter was filmed. (Sorry mama) a great start to the week. Sadly it took a turn for the worse. So you know those times where things are just so bad that its so funny. That was the rest of the week Basically with the mission split systems were down and we havent been paid since the beginning of June. That being said, we had no food. Then our power went out. I was really sick this week too. THEN our bus passes got deleted. So we were stranded with no power and no food and i was feeling like death hahahaha. It was an adventure. Its the 4th of July (lowkey...

Hey all. Here is an update from the past few weeks: Lots of stop bys. Talking to people. Watching Book of Mormon videos in my free time hahaha. We ordered groceries and accidentally sent them to Bournemouth. 40 pounds worth hahaha. OOPS I made tres leches!!! Literally it was actually so good bruv. Something about the dairy products here idk doesnt sit well with my stomach but its so good. We went to do service for a member and got lost, we ended up in a tiny village an hour and a half away. That was a rip.  80 degrees at home is heaven but 80 degrees here is hotter than anything. It was 100% Humidity and im like ok at that point arent we just underwater hahaha.  We were walking by the train station. I saw this guy sitting on a rock and i felt impressed to go talk to him. I tried ignoring the impression but i eventually gave in. Working on that haha. Anyways, we got chatting and he wasn't interested. Kind of an odd guy but after the convo he went in to hug me and i was like oop...

Hi:) Reporting in from Bristol again this week because im staying another transfer. So that means im in the bristol mission! I got a new companion Sister Parry,  shes fiery and not just because she has perfect red hair hahaha. We both got a new assignment as STL's!!! Bristol is truly a culmination of every type of person gathered in the same city. I saw every part on the human body there is to see while street contacting on Saturday. Hahahaha that day was super warm, so we headed into town for a few lessons. I got a teeny weeny bit sunburnt which is kind of a big deal since living in England. One of our new friends is American actually, she is looking for a new church! Miss lady is an actual girl boss. Shes a lawyer, and such a deep thinker, she was asking how families can be sealed, such and such upon our first time meeting :') go girl go Everythings good just a little depressing lately our ward mission leader was asking what our schedule was like as missionaries and i was so ...

Ello luvs!!!! This week was good. I have 3 things i can remember so ill talk about that first 1. We invited a brazillian to a church party (QUEENS JUBILEE!!!) and he brought 2 friends because he was under some funny impression 3 of them 3 of us you can put the puzzle pieces together... it was so bad hahaha 2. I tripped and fell into the road so bad in front of a lineup of cars my platform docs did me mad dirty and my ankles have been in Spain without the S 3. Riding the bus is clutch     A. Because we found 2 new friends who are looking for a new church to go to     B. I can pretend im in a music video without the music but its usually gloomy outside and im looking out the bus window and romatizing riding the bus for absolutely no reason  Anyways. This week we were working in the office a lot, we have to help do housing filing stuff (?) Also instagram got deleted for all missionaries so we arent running the page anymore RIP considerchristuk. Transfers are this w...

I hit 8 months last week!!!! Crazy town, im almost halfway. This week was subpar. Not gonna lie hahaha. We moved flats which was stressful. It was good tho and we are staying in a lil ol flat in a cute neighborhood. We had a lesson with someone we met in city centre this week, she caught my eye cuz she was wearing a jumper that said UTAH!!! Hahahaha we met up and got Tortilla which is like chipotle. I got a burrito for the first time since i was, at home. I stay missing Mexican food. It was so fun and i love her It was pretty chaotic this week in meetings, preparing for zone conf. So not gonna lie I wrote this last week but never sent the email lol So this actual week was great. I think the biggest miracle is me and my comps split up on the top of the bus. This lady came and sat by me and we started chatting. Turs out we have the same birthday, shes polish and christian so hoping to meet with her soon, that was God's tender mercy to me because we were in the office ALL day tha...

Heeeeyyyyy!!! This week was so interesting!!! In a good way and bad hahaha. My amazing companion, Sister Mitchell returned home to the most elect place. (St. George) i love that woman!!! So many cherised memories, gonna miss my girl!! My new companion(S)!!! Are so precious. Im in a trio, with sister Routt & Soares and they are so fun. My little queens. We are all the same height and size and it is sooo funny hahaha. Sometimes I think my heart cant handle loving more people because I had Sister Walker too and ive just been blessed with having such amazing comos & people in my life. I think maybe its because my training was trauma hahahaha  Anyways, God humbled me this week. I was telling my new companions how i hadnt cried in awhile, because I didnt want to be sad about all this change,  especially about Sis Mitch leaving. So i took the emotinally numb route but 5 minutes after I said that we knocked on a door and the lady who opened the door told us to F off and slamme...
