Happy Halloween Mates!!!!!!

Happy Halloween Mates!!!!!! Oh my goodness oh my goodness I cannot tell you how great this week was. First of all-- fall has officially flung (is that a phrase? No? Oh well) and it is SO beautiful. Oh my heck it is so beautiful. I wish I took more pictures but just walking around England in the fall is probably one of my favourite things in the whole world.

ALSO--- it hasn't rained for 5 days straight. BLESSED BLESSED BLESSED BLESSED!!!!!!!!!!! Ok we were walking to the church one day and we walked past these tiny baby Shetland ponies! There was entire huge farm of them! So tiny and adorable.


Also our ward had a Halloween party and it was so fun. At one point I was like maybe this is embarrassing how happy I am to be at a church party but then I was like whatever this is mission life. There was free chili and free candy and I got to see all these cute little babies dressed up in costumes. And our family of investigators came and it was just so fun. Oh my goodness they are so amazing you guys. They want to be baptised so bad and they are like fully integrated into the ward and they are so normal and just so cool. I love them. I'll send a pic next week.

Ok excuse this straight nose shot but this woman is my favourite person in the world. She honestly is so flipping funny and she tells us about all of these crazy stories about her mission in Brazil and I just die laughing every time. She also is so spiritual and I just LOVE HER!!!!



Went tracting and saw a cool door obvi


WE CARVED PUMPKINS!!!




This is our district!! Happy Halloween friends I love you all so so much!!!!


Also it gets dark at literally 4:30 at night and it KILLS ME but it's ok. Thank goodness for the light of the GOSEPL amirite? Jk actually thank goodness for street lights and flashlights and idk being in doors when it's dark and scary.

Funny story: this week I laughed at my companion cause she stepped in dog poop and then two days later I stepped in it too. Hate my life but also I think I deserve it.

I love you guys so so much!!! Thank you SO MUCH for the packages and letters and all of the love I just love you guys so so so so so much!!

Norwich has more pubs than days of the year!

Hi my loves!!!

This week has been so good! On Wednesday I had to wake up way early
and drag all of my GINORMOUS suitcases all around London. Seriously
every time we move I tell myself I'm going to get rid of everything I
own because I have SO. MUCH. STUFF and it is so so heavy!! But it's ok
because my new little trainee is so sweet and didn't even get mad at
me! Lolz. She's such a champ. When we went to Hyde Park I got to see
my first companion, Sister Johannes!  No lie I love that woman with
every fibre of my being.

The best trainer in the whole mission!

Ok, then we went to my new area, Norwich which is BOMB.  There are so many university students and lots of just really cool people and I love it already!

Look at this cool castle.  Just chilling in the middle of the town.



You guys in the middle of one of our lessons this week the alarm went off in the library in the middle of the prayer and it was so funny.  I'm sorry this email is so short but I LOVE YOU SO MUCH.  Say a prayer for me that I will survive this windy cold weather.  I love you!!!!

Also, we are teaching this guy who has the longest ginger hair I have ever seen who never washes his hair nor his clothes and lives on a boat and believes in Thor.  THE MAN BELIEVES IN THOR!!!! Like in a non-ironic way he believes in Odin and Thor.  We will see how this one goes.  hahahaha.

ps---got locked out of the church today when we were trying to email.  That's why we have no time.  Lolzies.  H8 myself.

Love love love love

"Everything is the best arrangement of the God"

You guys!! I'm moving! To Norwich!!! We had a lesson with Andy
yesterday and when I told him that I had to move and I was sad about
it he goes (in his sweet Chinese accent) it's ok... it's ok....
everything is the best arrangement of the God. What a sweetie. Gonna
miss that man. Ok this week was really good and not even that
difficult at all. It's been nice and not rainy so I feel MAJOR blessed
every time we have to cycle somewhere and it doesn't rain.

A commemorative photo because it was SUNNY AND DIDN'T RAIN AT ALL THAT DAY!!!!  Much love to cute sister Cobabe who I have to leave tomorrow.  :(  I'm so excited though to meet my new companion.  

Also we met this man who is from Romania but is also fluent in Spanish
(????) but speaks no English at all so I got to practice my Spanish
skills and teach a lesson entirely in Spanish. Thank goodness for
prayers and the fact that the church has pamphlets written in Spanish.
Used that a lot... aka I wouldn't remember how to say something and
would just have him read a page in the pamphlet. Lolz teaching skills
off the charts.

This is Harry and the member.  Also side note I think my photography skills are just off the chain.  LOLOLOL.

Harry is getting baptised on Saturday!!  And I won't be there to see
it :( but it's ok because he's just awesome and I know it will all go
well. Oh my word we had a lesson with him in this member's
home and she offered to baptise him. Then proceeded to offer to sing a
song about Kolob to us. Nice. Hahah I love that woman.

Oh.  Also.  Look at how sweet this is!!!  Harry wrote down his testimony to share at his baptism:  crying real tears.

 Ok you guys I just love you all lots and this week was incredible because we met SO MANY COOL NEW PEOPLE!!! I wish I was staying to teach them all because they are just so funny and sincere.  Ok I love you guys I will talk to you next week!!!

AWKWARD LESSONS IN GRAVEYARDS

this week was so good. ok the family that i told you about last week--- the favorite people i have ever met on my mission? HORRIBLE NEWS. they live outside of our area so they have to start being taught by the elders in the next area over. ughhhhhhh i am honestly so sad about it!! like seriously i was so stoked to be teaching a family and now they have to go to a different ward! but itsok. they are just so cool and sweet! ill send you the last picture we took with them.


other than that this week has been real great. on thursday we actually got to take the train up to newmarket (this little village really far away) to go teach marcello and his family and introduce them to the elders over there. then on friday we were supposed to have a lesson at the university with one of our new friends but it was super packed so this recent convert that we were teaching with goes ''its ok i know a great quite place where i like to study sometimes''--- turns out it was the graveyard right off campus. classic. so we had a lesson in a graveyard. in the rain. good thing we just played it off and we were like yeah this is totally fine and totally the ideal situation for teaching about how to pray!! hahah.

man other than that nothing too exciting. we went to a museum last p-day so ill sent pictures of that as well. I love you guys! have a great week and STAY REALLY WARM FOR ME!!!!!

xoxoxooxoxoox


(Me being inspired by the ancient Egyptian exhibit duh.  Okay also at this museum they had all of these original Monet and Seurat paintings!!!!  It was such a throwback to freshman year and my art history class--- shoutout to my girl ruby Anne Neff.  But news:  I forgot everything I have ever learned about art history.  So I was walking around this museum thinking about how I technically should have knows all about the paintings and all but I really knew was that they were pretty and famous.  Just like me. Hahahaha.  Just kidding, I promise I'm humble.  (Maybe)

General Conference? More like Generally CONFIDENT

I don't know what that subject title means I think I just thought it
was funny please tell me I'm funny whatever I'm not funny we already
knew that.

You guys! This week was so good because it was GENERAL CONFERENCE! I
think my favourite talk was President Uchtdorf's talk in the women's
session. Or Elder Oaks' talk about member missionary work. I wanted to
stand up and cheer slash also do that Mexican finger snap thing
because it was just SO GOOD and SO BOLD. I loved it. Here's a link
just in case you need a refresher.  :)

(She has a link but it doesn't work on the blog.  Just go to LDS.org and look up Womens meeting: President Uchtdorf)

We went to London this week for our exchange! It was mad fun. Here's
how much I enjoyed the train ride home.

Seriously I feel like I can't sit for more than 3 minutes without passing out and then everyone in
the vicinity decides to take selfies with me. It's quite rude but also you would think I would have learned by now. Still no.

These are our sister training leaders who we went on exchange with. They're absolute champs.

Ok then we came home on Wednesday and we taught probably my favourite people I've met on my entire mission. They're this family that are from Argentina/ Chile. We met the dad in the street and he was SO happy to see us. The guy loves Jesus, and I mean LOVES. in our lesson he interrupted us to show us this massive tattoo on his calf of Jesus Christ. We were like ok Marcello. Good job. hahah I have never laughed so hard than in the lessons with Marcello. He is the happiest, funniest, friendliest man in the world. He wants to be baptised and already knows that he needs to stop drinking wine because he met missionaries when he was living in the states. Thanks my stateside homies.
And we finally were able to meet his sweet wife who literally just got here from Argentina-- she genuinely is the sweetest kindest woman. I LOVE HER SO MUCH!!!! And they have the two nicest kids. Seriously you guys I LOVE THIS FAMILY. there is no one else like em. Ill take a picture next week and send it because I seriously just love them. I had no idea how amazing it is to teach families. Seriously it's incredible. Also Marcello always hugs us and we have no idea how to tell him he can't hug us lolzies.

Then we had zone conference and then yesterday we had interviews with our mission President. It was such a good, busy week. I love you guys!!!


Ps last week Aldi finally opened and I was so hype. (Cause it's really cheap lol)

LOVE YOU ALL TALK TO YOU REAL SOON.
