<span style="font-family: ".SFUIText", serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 17pt;">This week tho</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #454545; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; font-size: 15px; line-height: normal; min-height: 20.3px;">

<div style="background-color: white; color: #454545; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; font-size: 15px; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: ".SFUIText", serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 17pt;">Wow. What more can I say?</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #454545; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; font-size: 15px; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: ".SFUIText", serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 17pt;">SO much happened this week!</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #454545; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; font-size: 15px; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: ".SFUIText", serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 17pt;">Firstly, all THREE of my previous companions fly home today. It's such a strange feeling. I mean, I know I don't have too much longer on my mission, but sometimes it feels like I still have ages. I have served with Sister Clawson for 3 transfers, Sister Turnbull for 2 transfers, and Sister Taumalolo for 2 transfers. It has been such a privilege to serve with these three wonderful sisters. I can see the lessons they have learned and the skills they have gained for each one individually. I hope I will be able to learn and grow as much as they have </span><span style="font-family: ".AppleColorEmojiUI", serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 17pt;">❤️</span><span style="font-family: ".SFUIText", serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 17pt;"> I am truly grateful for the memories and miracles I've shared with them </span><span style="font-family: ".AppleColorEmojiUI", serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 17pt;">❤️</span><span style="font-family: ".SFUIText", serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 17pt;"> and I'll definitely miss them!</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #454545; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; font-size: 15px; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: ".SFUIText", serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 17pt;">My only companion (besides my current companion) left in the mission is Sister Limb. It's a strange feeling - I'm starting to feel like an old missionary already.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #454545; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; font-size: 15px; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: ".SFUIText", serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 17pt;">Secondly, we had the Christmas Party this week! The talent show portion was hilarious! And I was able to see all my good friends :) I'm so grateful for my district!</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #454545; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; font-size: 15px; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: ".SFUIText", serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 17pt;">Transfers have happened, and I'm staying here in Ashton with Sister Stohrer. I am SO greatful for my previous district, and I know that they have helped me so much! I know that this was truly inspired. I have been able to meet great new friends and I'm grateful for this upcoming transfer as well. The people in my district seem really great and I'm excited to get to know them!</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #454545; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; font-size: 15px; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: ".SFUIText", serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 17pt;">We said goodbye to Elder Cumagun and helped clean his flat, and we gave our new Elder, Elder Bishop a proper welcome with welcome home balloons and also little sticky notes all over the flat :) it was so much fun and he enjoyed it! </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #454545; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; font-size: 15px; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: ".SFUIText", serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 17pt;">There's really so much on my mind this week, but unfortunately not much time to tell you all everything. But this week was probably one of my favorite weeks of my mission :) I will have such a great Christmas! </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #454545; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; font-size: 15px; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: ".SFUIText", serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 17pt;">I hope that all of you do to!</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #454545; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; font-size: 15px; line-height: normal;">

<span style="font-size: 12pt;">So, to explain my heading, I have had lots of fun in my district. The Ashton 1 Elders are funny, and Elder Burton says "Woof" all the time, and also "You won't". He makes everything into a challenge so we are more willing to do it :P so, you won't read this email... you won't. Lol </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #212121; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">This email will actually be a novel... so I don't blame you if you don't end up reading it all :P but I didn't send a group email last week, so I'm making up for it now :P</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #212121; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal; min-height: 13.8px;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #212121; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">Anyways, speaking of my fabulous district, here are some other things we have done recently (since it's coming up to transfers soon, I'm taking time to reflect).</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #212121; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">1 - we went bowling 🎳 last week! Elder Cannon took a model shot of our trio on his Polaroid camera and it looked amazing and old school. I also didn't lose! Which was surprising! I think it's because I promised Elder Burton I would lose, so he decided to lose instead :P </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #212121; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">2 - We have an IKEA near our flat and it has become my favorite thing! So, we have been there on multiple occasions with various people in our district and also with other sisters in our zone. #MeatballsAreLife. I also tried their Salmon at one point, and it was amazing! :)</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #212121; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">3 - Our street Displays. So, we have been decorating for Christmas every time we go to town. It started with just a blank tree on a table, and then the next time, we added some ornaments and lights to the tree, then we wrapped some copies of the Book of Mormon to put under the tree, then we got some Christmas music and put a speaker behind the tree, and added some Light the World cards to the display... yeah, we've gone all out :) We've had some funny stories at these displays too, from getting fully snowed on, to Elder Burton almost getting ran over multiple times, to running into members from around the world, and so many other things. I always have a laugh at street displays!</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #212121; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal; min-height: 13.8px;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #212121; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">Also, we had a Christmas carol concert over last weekend and it was so good! 😊 At one point, the Primary children went up and were dressed as angels, and sang three songs. That was my favourite part! Everyone just did a wonderful job :) </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #212121; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal; min-height: 13.8px;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #212121; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">Okay, last thing - We were asked to give the lesson in Relief Society yesterday, and the chapter we taught was on the blessings of the temple. Since I was able to serve as an ordinance worker in the Mt. Timpanogas temple, I have become passionate about this topic, so I enjoyed teaching the class. Something that stood out to me in this chapter was a quote from one of my favorite talks from President Hinckley. </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #212121; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">"I am satisfied that every man or woman who goes to the temple in a spirit of sincerity and faith leaves the house of the Lord a better man or woman. There is need for constant improvement in all of our lives. There is need occasionally to leave the noise and the tumult of the world and step within the walls of a sacred house of God, there to feel His Spirit in an environment of holiness and peace... I urge our people everywhere, with all of the persuasiveness of which I am capable, to live worthy to hold a temple recommend, to secure one and regard it as a precious asset, and to make a greater effort to go to the house of the Lord and partake of the spirit and the blessings to be had therein." - (Of Missions, Temples, and Stewardship; Gordon B. Hinckley; October 1995)</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #212121; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">This talk is one that helped me decide to go on a mission, so I've basically memorised the whole talk, but it's a good one! </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #212121; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">Anyways, I really love how President Hinckley describes the temple as a place of peace. I definitely know that to be true! I would like to add my urge to all of you who are reading this to also visit the temple whenever you are able to. It will give you a spiritual recharge and such an amazing experience. </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #212121; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">President Hinckley also said that temples are "the bridge from this life to the next". I love that statement because it is so true. I have heard many times that the veil is the thinnest in the temple. I have many experiences (and I'm sure many of you have as well) where I have felt the presence of angels so strongly, and I have seen others and witnessed their experiences of when the have been touched by those who have passed on. </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #212121; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">For our #LightTheWorld initiative this year, the Ashton Stake has decided to add on "Light the SPIRIT world". This means that we find an ancestor and take their name to the temple. I think that this idea should spread, so there you go - take this idea and go with it! :) </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #212121; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal; min-height: 13.8px;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #212121; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">I hope you can all find time for the temple this week to #LightTheSpiritWorld :)</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #212121; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">Love you all! </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #212121; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal; min-height: 13.8px;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #212121; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">Th-Th-t-t-th-tha- tha - that's all folks!</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #212121; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal; min-height: 13.8px;">

<div>
<div dir="auto">
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 16px;">
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">So, this week I'll start by telling you all a story and a miracle :) </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal; min-height: 13.8px;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">Firstly, I had my first baptism this week! It's great to see the fruits of your labours start to come up :) I can't wait for his family to progress and to eventually be sealed for all eternity. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal; min-height: 13.8px;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">Secondly, We met this man named Simon at a bus stop and he seemed interested in our message. We were able to set a return appointment with him, and we met with him again yesterday. He is very soft spoken and sometimes hard to understand, but we were able to talk to him about why we are here, and we also taught him the whole Restoration, and gave him a Book of Mormon. He seemed very willing to learn more and he enjoyed the first lesson. He is coming to our Family Home Evening tonight and we will set another appointment with him there. It's amazing to see someone's face light up at the gospel message. :)</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal; min-height: 13.8px;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">Something else that happened this week is that I officially hit my year mark! It's now been a whole year since I left my family and came to England and found my other family :) There are so many people here that I am so grateful to have met. They are people that I have met before I came on the earth, and have now had a sweet reunion with. I am truly grateful for the experiences I have had so far on my mission! And I have 6 more months of lessons to learn! :)</span></div>

<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">And speaking of gratitude - it was also THANKSGIVING this week! I hope all you Americans enjoyed your turkey and potatoes! In the meantime, I was eating Deep Dish Pizza that a member gave us. It was pretty American though, so I guess it works ;) what was best about this Thanksgiving meal though is that the members I ate with were President and Sister Preston - who were also serving at the MTC a year ago when I had Thanksgiving there. So, now I've had TWO Thanksgiving meals with them :) so crazy! And what's even better is that Thanksgiving was on my year mark, so it gave me a perfect opportunity to reflect on what I have learned on my mission so far.</span></div>

<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">And because it was Thanksgiving week, I decided I should share some spiritual thoughts on gratitude. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal; min-height: 13.8px;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">"We feel grateful for many things: a kindness from a stranger, a meal when we are hungry, a dry roof over our heads when storms arise, a broken bone that heals, and the hearty cry of a newborn baby. Many of us will remember feeling gratitude at such moments. " (Gratitude on the Sabbath Day - Henry B. Eyring - October 2016)</span></div>

<span style="font-size: 10pt;">Hello everyone! What an eventful week :)</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif, EmojiFont, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", NotoColorEmoji, "Segoe UI Symbol", "Android Emoji", EmojiSymbols; font-size: 16px;">
<div class="BodyFragment">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;"></span></span><br />
<div class="PlainText">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">So, as you have heard, I am in a trio in Ashton. So far, I absolutely LOVE it here, and I'm SO grateful for this area and my companions.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Y'all know about my step-mom in the mission aka Sister Clawson. She is still just as fun and we are laughing lots.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">So, now I'll tell you a bit about my wonderful other companion Sister Stohrer. She is from a small village near Stuttgart, Germany. Her English is amazing (many people actually think she is American) - We make fun of her 'New York' accent. Another thing about her is that she LOVES Disney! 😁 so, we have spent many hours belting Disney songs together, and stopping people on the streets to compliment their Disney bags. She also loves music and is an amazing singer. I have only known her for a week so far, but I absolutely love being her companion! She has made me laugh so hard at times - she's hilarious!</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">So, basically - We are just a trio of goofballs and it's the best thing :)</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">So my companionship is wonderful! The area is also nice, it's like the outskirts of Manchester City. We actually have the Manchester City Football Stadium in our area. It's HUGE! Other than that, we don't have much :P We have a song in the England Manchester Mission that goes through each zone and says something great about it, like the Temple in Chorley, or the Docks of Liverpool, and when it gets to Ashton, it says "the streets of Ashton" ... so basically, there's nothing here ;) but I love it! It's such a good area :) And the members that I have met before are amazing! I'm excited to have Christmas with them! It's really a great ward!</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Okay, so I have a funny story for you all now (and there are many others that have happened this week!) but this is the one I decided was too good to not share! :)</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">So, I was walking with my companions and we said hello to this man that passed. He looked over at us and smiled, and then stopped to talk to us. He looked very confused at what we were saying, and then we found out that he is from Italy and didn't know much English. So, we then started to use all the Italian we knew, and had this half English half Italian baseline conversation that was hilarious! Then, he took off his backpack and opened it up. He started pulling out his groceries one by one while we named them in both Italian and English 😂 So the conversation went something like this...</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Joseph (the Italian) - "Asparagati!"</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Us - "Ah, yes. Asparagus. Asparagus is good!"</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Joseph - "Aaah, Formaggio!" 🧀</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Us - "Oooh that looks like good cheese!"</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Joseph - "Ah, Gelato!" 🍨</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Us - "yes, yes"</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">And this went on until he had pulled out everything in his bag 😂 and in the end, he gave us all a cannoli 😂 it was such a funny conversation! It made our day!</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">So, that just about sums up my week. I've really had lots of fun :) stay tuned for my updates next week!</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Also, before I leave, I want to share a quote with you all that I heard this week that really stood out to me.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">"No one can reach lower than the light of Christ shines" - Jeffrey R. Holland</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">This is a very true statement! I have read so much about how Christ is the light that shines in darkness. Also, the Christmas initiative of "Light the World" is soon approaching, and the main theme of this initiative is to reach out to others, because Christ is the light of the world, and so are we when we become more like Him. I love the analogy of light, because there is so much to learn from it. I hope you will all be able to see the light of Christ shine through any dark time you may have.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Love you all!</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext" , serif , "emojifont"; font-size: 17pt;">WHAT TIME IS IT...?</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #454545; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; font-size: 15px; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext" , serif , "emojifont"; font-size: 17pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #454545; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; font-size: 15px; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext" , serif , "emojifont"; font-size: 17pt;">Nope, not Christmas yet... but good guess.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #454545; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; font-size: 15px; line-height: normal; min-height: 20.3px;">
<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext" , serif , "emojifont"; font-size: 17pt;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #454545; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; font-size: 15px; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext" , serif , "emojifont"; font-size: 17pt;">It's... TRANSFER TIME!!!</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #454545; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; font-size: 15px; line-height: normal; min-height: 20.3px;">
<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext" , serif , "emojifont"; font-size: 17pt;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #454545; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; font-size: 15px; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext" , serif , "emojifont"; font-size: 17pt;">So, first thing: I have now finished EIGHT transfers! Only </span><span style="font-family: ".sfuitext" , serif , "emojifont"; font-size: 17pt;">FIVE left to go. How crazy!</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #454545; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; font-size: 15px; line-height: normal; min-height: 20.3px;">
<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext" , serif , "emojifont"; font-size: 17pt;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #454545; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; font-size: 15px; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext" , serif , "emojifont"; font-size: 17pt;">Second thing: I have been given a tender mercy this transfer! It's almost unbelievable- but this is for real!</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #454545; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; font-size: 15px; line-height: normal; min-height: 20.3px;">
<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext" , serif , "emojifont"; font-size: 17pt;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #454545; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; font-size: 15px; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext" , serif , "emojifont"; font-size: 17pt;">So... I will actually be leaving Chester. And guess where I will be going? Ashton-under-Lyne 2nd ward. I've heard that it's an amazing ward with about 60-70 active members. And guess who one of those members is? My MTC President! :) So, now I will be serving in President Prestons ward! </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #454545; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; font-size: 15px; line-height: normal; min-height: 20.3px;">
<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext" , serif , "emojifont"; font-size: 17pt;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #454545; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; font-size: 15px; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext" , serif , "emojifont"; font-size: 17pt;">So that's amazing!!! BUT do you want to know the crazy thing? My companions. Yes, plural. I'm in a TRIO! 3 missionaries in Ashton! </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #454545; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; font-size: 15px; line-height: normal; min-height: 20.3px;">
<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext" , serif , "emojifont"; font-size: 17pt;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #454545; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; font-size: 15px; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext" , serif , "emojifont"; font-size: 17pt;">This will be such a new experience for me, but I feel it will be fun :) Want to know why? Guess who my companions will be? Firstly, there is Sister Stohrer from Germany! This will be my first companion to have English as their second language. She sounds like an amazing Sister, and I can't wait to hear all about Germany and the culture and getting to know her!</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #454545; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; font-size: 15px; line-height: normal; min-height: 20.3px;">
<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext" , serif , "emojifont"; font-size: 17pt;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #454545; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; font-size: 15px; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext" , serif , "emojifont"; font-size: 17pt;">And last but not least, I can tell you all that this transfer just keeps getting better and better. Guess who my other companion will be? Sister Clawson! Yep! The one who follow up trained me almost a year ago! What a tender mercy! It will be so much fun to be her companion again! Also, what's even crazier is that she is finishing her mission at the end of the transfer, which means that I will be her last companion. We call this "killing a missionary" - so now I get to kill BOTH my trainers! That absolutely amazes me, I'm still in shock!</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #454545; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; font-size: 15px; line-height: normal; min-height: 20.3px;">
<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext" , serif , "emojifont"; font-size: 17pt;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #454545; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; font-size: 15px; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext" , serif , "emojifont"; font-size: 17pt;">Anyways, so for those of you who want a quicker update for transfers:</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #454545; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; font-size: 15px; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext" , serif , "emojifont"; font-size: 17pt;">Area - Ashton</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #454545; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; font-size: 15px; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext" , serif , "emojifont"; font-size: 17pt;">Companion(s) - Sister Stohrer and Sister Clawson</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #454545; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; font-size: 15px; line-height: normal; min-height: 20.3px;">
<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext" , serif , "emojifont"; font-size: 17pt;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #454545; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; font-size: 15px; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext" , serif , "emojifont"; font-size: 17pt;">Sister Turnbull will be staying in Chester, and her new companion will be Sister Arthur. I served in the same district as Sister Arthur while I was in Warrington. She is from London and is also Ghanaian. She is a lovely sister and will take good care of Chester ward.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #454545; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; font-size: 15px; line-height: normal; min-height: 20.3px;">
<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext" , serif , "emojifont"; font-size: 17pt;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #454545; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; font-size: 15px; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext" , serif , "emojifont"; font-size: 17pt;">Okay... so besides the exciting news of transfers, what else has happened this week? Well, we have been able to teach many people, and learn many lessons. We had three families we are working with come to church. We are also having a baptism on the 25th of November! How exciting is that? :) </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #454545; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; font-size: 15px; line-height: normal; min-height: 20.3px;">
<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext" , serif , "emojifont"; font-size: 17pt;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #454545; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; font-size: 15px; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext" , serif , "emojifont"; font-size: 17pt;">Now, for a quick story before this email is over. So, we were able to go to a baptism the other night for a girl that Sister Turnbull met and taught her very first transfer. It was amazing to see how the seed that she has planted has now been growing in the gospel soil. </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #454545; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; font-size: 15px; line-height: normal; min-height: 20.3px;">
<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext" , serif , "emojifont"; font-size: 17pt;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #454545; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; font-size: 15px; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext" , serif , "emojifont"; font-size: 17pt;">The funny part of this story is that it was about an hour away by car, so we needed a lift. Luckily, a member was able to save the day and be our hero because he gave us a ride there and back. But this one hour drive quickly (or I guess I should say slowly) turned into a two hour drive as we took random roads given to us by the SatNav, and also by going 35mph on a 70mph motorway. Yeah... it was a long drive :P but, I guess we got to know the member really well, so it was alright :)</span></div>

<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext" , serif , "emojifont"; font-size: 17pt;">Well, that's about all I've got for y'all this week. Chester is doing amazing, and I'm now off to Ashton! :)</span></div>

<span style="font-size: 10pt;">First off, HAPPY HALLOWEEN! I hope you have all enjoyed dressing up </span><span style="font-size: 10pt;">and other various things as you have been able to celebrate this great </span><span style="font-size: 10pt;">holiday! It's not celebrated as much over here in the U.K., but it's </span><span style="font-size: 10pt;">getting bigger and bigger each year according to the members. Our ward </span><span style="font-size: 10pt;">had a trunk or treat and other various activities that the children </span><span style="font-size: 10pt;">enjoyed. There's not much as missionaries we are allowed to do </span><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Halloween night, but my companion and I still put in some effort and </span><span style="font-size: 10pt;">my companion was a witch and I was a cat :P not my average Halloween, </span><span style="font-size: 10pt;">but I still enjoyed it!</span></div>

Now the reason I say Holidays (multiple) is because we also had Guy Fawkes night this weekend. It happened to land on a Sunday, so they celebrated both yesterday and Saturday night (and all week really). Little bit of background on this day (known also as Bon Fire night): This occurs on the 5th of November every year. In started in the 1600's when a man named Guy Fawkes was caught with explosives trying to kill the king. He was the only one out of a large group of people to be caught and captured, hence why he's the name people remember. So, in the early days, they had this celebration that the King survived, but the way they celebrated was by throwing dummies of Guy Fawkes himself into a Bonfire. So... that's how it all started. According to one of the members, when she was younger, they used to still make Guy Fawkes out of cloth/cardboard/whatever else and then sit in town and say, "Money for the Guy" and people would give them pennies, and then when it came to Bonfire Night, they threw Guy into the Fire. Kind of a scary tradition I'd say :P but it's not like that anymore. Mainly it's just a big firework show kind of like the Fourth of July. There was one bonfire we saw, but I didn't really see what was thrown in. Once again, we couldn't go out past a certain time that day, but before we had to go inside, we were able to see some fireworks in the middle of Chester. So, that was fun! :)<br />So yeah, happy holidays! We don't celebrate Thanksgiving here (obviously), so I hope you all enjoy that when it comes to the end of the month! Eat lots of potatoes for me! Oh, speaking of potatoes, this actually happened a while ago, but we went to an American members home, and they gave us meatloaf and potatoes. Even though I'm not a big meatloaf fan, it was actually one of the best meatloaves I've tasted! Karen can definitely cook! :) also, the potatoes were AMAZING! I had 3 serving of them, and then they sent me home with a whole bag :P so that was nice of them! Anyway, main story is: I've had a great week! Filled with Candy, Fireworks, Bonfires, Games, Jokes, and much laughter. I hope you all have had an equally enjoyable week.<br />If not, here is some advice for you:<br /><br />"Remember that you are of the royal house of the kingdom of God, daughters of Heavenly Parents, who reign throughout the universe. </div>
<div class="x_PlainText">
You have the spiritual DNA of God. You have unique gifts that originated in your spiritual creation and that were developed during the vast span of your premortal life. You are the child of our merciful and everlasting Father in Heaven, the Lord of Hosts, the One who created the universe, spread the spinning stars across the vast expanse of space, and placed the planets in their appointed orbits.<br />You are in His hands.<br />Very good hands.<br />Loving hands.<br />Caring hands.<br />And nothing anyone ever says about you can change that. Their words are meaningless compared to what God has said about you.<br />You are His precious child.<br />He loves you.<br />Even when you stumble, even when you turn away from Him, God loves you. If you are feeling lost, abandoned, or forgotten--fear not. The Good Shepherd will find you. He will lift you upon His shoulders. And He will carry you home.<br />...You can rejoice that you are a daughter of God. You can find joy and happiness in the grace of God and in the love of Jesus Christ. You can be glad. I urge you to fill your hearts with gratitude for the abundant and limitless goodness of God. My beloved sisters, you can do this! I pray with all the affection of my soul that you will make the choice to press on toward the tree of life. I pray that you will choose to lift up your voice and make your life a glorious symphony of praise, rejoicing in what the love of God, the wonders of His Church, and the gospel of Jesus Christ can bring to the world."<br />-President Uctdorf, Three Sisters, Women's Conference October 2017<br /><br />Love you all!<br />- Sister Wilkinson E.M.M. :)</div>

<span style="font-size: 10pt;">Okay, so, about this title:</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 16px;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;"></span></span><br />
<div class="x_PlainText">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">This week has been getting colder and colder, but also, we walked up to our flat on Thursday and there was ash in the air... it definitely wasn't coming from our flat, but we were a bit worried. Once we were in our flat, we looked out our window, and saw lots of smoke. It looked like it might be controlled, but we couldn't tell. We obviously didn't want the Fire to get any bigger, and we weren't sure what to do. We ended up calling the emergency department for help. We accidentally dialed 911 instead of 999, but we were still redirected, so all was well! The Fire brigade showed up, and informed us that it was just a man burning some trees and that it was a controlled fire. We then felt a bit dumb for getting the fire brigade involved, but hey, better safe than sorry. We left the flat, and when we came back, the whole street was full of smoke. Everyone is safe, but it just didn't seemed as "controlled" as we would have hoped. Other than the fact of my facing my fears all week... it's been really good! We have been progressing the work here in the Chester ward. There was a baptism that happened on Saturday and we were able to have 4 of our investigators attend. We also just had a new Bishopric called in the ward, and our new bishop, Bishop Marzal, said that he noticed all the good work we were doing in Chester and wants to coordinate with us in order to gain and keep new members. The Lord is definitely hastening his work here!</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">We now have three part member families we are working with, and there are SO MANY children that we are teaching! They are all very special, and I've been able to gain an even stronger love for children. Even when we are in members homes and I get to talk to them. They just have such amazing and innocent stories and they are so intelligent! Anyway, not much else has happened this week, but I want to share an insight I had while doing my studies this week.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">"The greatest comfort in this life is the assurance of having close relationship with God. … The sacrament period should be a factor in awakening this sense of relationship... "There are three things fundamentally important associated with the administration of the sacrament. The first is self-discernment. It is introspection. “This do in remembrance of me,” but we should partake worthily, each one examining himself with respect to his worthiness. "Secondly, there is a covenant made; a covenant even more than a promise. … There is nothing more important in life than that. … A covenant, a promise, should be as sacred as life. That principle is involved every Sunday when we partake of the sacrament. "Thirdly, there is another blessing, and that is a sense of close relationship with the Lord. There is an opportunity to commune with oneself and to commune with the Lord. We meet in the house that is dedicated to him; we have turned it over to him; we call it his house. I believe the short period of administering the sacrament is one of the best opportunities we have for … meditation, and there should be nothing during that sacred period to distract our attention from the purpose of that ordinance... "We [must] surround this sacred ordinance with more reverence, with perfect order, that each one who comes to the house of God may meditate upon his goodness and silently and prayerfully express appreciation for God’s goodness. Let the sacrament hour be one experience of the day in which the worshiper tries at least to realize within himself that it is possible for him to commune with his God." - (Teachings of Presidents - David O. McKay - Chapter 4, Elements of Worship)</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">I know that when we truly take the Sacrament with meaning in our hearts, our entire outlook on the week changes. We will be able to "always remember Him" and to "always have His Spirit to be with [us]". When we make Christ the center of our lives and of our minds, everything falls into place, and we are able to overcome things with ease. One important thing I have learned on my mission is that we can do anything when we remember Christ and trust Him with all our heart. I hope that all of you can look at the ways the Lord is blessing your life, and that as you take the Sacrament, you can remember the sweet peace that the Saviour offers us as we turn to Him and rely on Him.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">I love you all! Have a Wonderful week!</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: 10pt;">Alright well, I'll quickly share a list of the funny/good things that</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 16px;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><div class="x_PlainText">
happened this week:<br />1 - We played a game of Monopoly with the District last week. ..<br />Basically, I lost... and then we related the game completely to our lives and our roles in the District, and it made perfect sense 😂<br />2 - We all matched in colour for zone Conference and wore green and pink :)<br />3 - I picked up and got to pet a beautiful black cat 🐱<br />4 - We crashed a party held by the Zone Leaders and got to eat some of Elder Jensen's cake and Ice Cream (which was AMAZING by the way)<br />5 - I improved my basketball skills 🏀<br /><br />So, now y'all ready for a spiritual message? :)<br />This week was full of ups, but it was also full of downs. Every week will not end up perfect, and that's okay. I have learned a very valuable lesson this week which is to find joy in the little things. President Hinckley has given us a perfect example of this.<br /><br />As he has taught, "With gratitude in our hearts, let us not dwell upon the few problems we have. Let us rather count our blessings and in a great spirit of gratitude, motivated by a great faith, go forth to build the kingdom of God in the earth. Let a spirit of thanksgiving guide and bless your days and nights. Work at it. You will find it will yield wonderful results. The Lord said: “Wherefore, lift up thy heart and rejoice, and cleave unto the covenants which thou hast made” [D&C 25:13]. I believe he is saying to each of us, be happy. The gospel is a thing of joy. It provides us with a reason for gladness. Never forget who you are. … You are in very deed a child of God. … He is your Eternal Father. He loves you. … He wants His sons and daughters to be happy. Sin never was happiness. Transgression never was happiness. Disobedience never was happiness. The way of happiness is found in the plan of our Father in Heaven and in obedience to the commandments of His Beloved Son, the Lord Jesus Christ. Regardless of your way of doing things in the past, I offer you a challenge … to square your lives with the teachings of the gospel, to look upon this Church with love and respect and appreciation as the mother of your faith, to live your lives as an example of what the gospel of Jesus Christ will do in bringing happiness to an individual. ...“Life is like an old-time rail journey--delays, sidetracks, smoke, dust, cinders, and jolts, interspersed only occasionally by beautiful vistas and thrilling bursts of speed. “The trick is to thank the Lord for letting you have the ride.” (Deseret News, 12 June 1973.)<br />..."Let there be something of a light tone in your life. Let there be fun and happiness, a sense of humor, the capacity to laugh occasionally at things that are funny. In all of living have much of fun and laughter. Life is to be enjoyed, not just endured."<br /><br />Although this life may be an old-time rail journey, it really is all about enjoying the ride. Looking for those little rays of sunshine that come through the stormy clouds of life. So, although this week was a bit of a rollercoaster, it ended beautifully and we could clearly see that the Lord was in our lives.<br /><br />So, we were on this street, and two men passed us. We stopped them and introduced ourselves and he showed us his interest in learning about the gospel. We gave him a Book of Mormon and a Mormon.org card, and then when we got home that night, we received this text:<br /><br /><i>'Hey there, it's Louis. Was lovely meeting you both. Do you live local or do you travel the UK teaching Christ ? I found the closest church to me, St Davids Park, is that right ? 'Sorry for all the questions, I'm just really intrigued on what your role is over here but I've done some research so I know a bit more about sister missionaries. You're both roughly over here for 18 months if I'm right... I hate making long distance friends, I'm an emotional person at hear and very chatty as you can see haha. I typed in Utah in google as well. It's a beautiful place, Salt Lake, etc. and the Mormon church there is just breath-taking. You're very lucky to have been brought up there, I've been to a few places in the States. Love the place, got a lot more places to tick off my list yet, also heading to Australia to see my sister soon. Tell me to shut up if you want. I'm just a chatter box and I've only known you 5 minutes haha !</i><br /><br />He clearly looked up the website and was interested in what we are sharing! It was amazing to see (and also a bit funny!) and we were glad that the week ended so well for us. We also have a dated investigator and also have one other friend who called that night and wanted to come to church. We are having so much success in our area, and it's just incredible! Goes to show that when we pass through hard times, there is always something good on its way. Things will always work out, and our trials will always pass. As we press forward with a steadfastness in Christ, we all can gain so much strength and wisdom. I have learned so much about my Saviour, Jesus Christ, and my relationship with him grows stronger and stronger each and every day. I love the lessons that I have come to learn on my mission and the sweet peace that the gospel brings to us all.<br /><br />I love you all and hope that you have a wonderful week!<br />Love from Wales (Cymru) ❤️<br />Sister Wilkinson :)</div>

That's not very true... it's definitely farm land over here! And all you can smell in most parts of Wales is cows... also, there's lots of sheep here too :P<br />But, it's still a BEAUTIFUL countryside!! :)<br /><br />Also, going along with my title, Blustery is right! It's been getting quite cold here! It's been nice to experience my few weeks of summer in England! Elder Quentin L. Cook said it correctly when he said that, "British summers are relatively short and unpredictable. As one author in a low-key way said, “I love the British summer, it’s my favourite day of the year.” A favourite British cartoon character of mine was pictured in her bed waking up late in the morning and declaring to her dogs, “Oh my goodness! I think we’ve overslept and missed summer.” There is an analogy in this humour to our life on this beautiful earth. The scriptures are clear that our precious mortal existence is a very short time. It could be said that from an eternal perspective, our time on earth is as fleeting as a British summer." Summer heredoes end quite quickly! It's just getting colder every minute! ... And I also really loved his inspired counsel to us all :)<br /><br />Conference has been AMAZING! Now that the talks are on the LDS Gospel Library, I am able to quote a few of them for you all and share my insights :)<br />One of my favourite talks was actually the first one given in General Conference. It was President Uctdorfs talk in the Saturday Morning session. It goes along quite well with the one I quoted earlier, talking about our eternal destination of living with Heavenly Father. President Uctdorf says "The sublime message of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is that God is our Father, that He cares about us, and that there is a way to return to Him. God calls to you. God knows your every thought, your sorrows, and your greatest hopes. God knows the many times you have sought Him. The many times you have felt limitless joy. The many times you have wept in loneliness. The many times you have felt helpless, confused, or angry. Yet, no matter your history--if you have faltered, failed, feel broken, bitter, betrayed, or beaten--know that you are not alone. God still calls to you." He reminds us that we are never alone! That God is always near us no matter what. To quote my favourite British Football (soccer) Team, "You'll never walk alone" - LFC (Liverpool Football Club). There is some wisdom in this phrase! When applying that in a religious way, it's true! Jesus is walking in the very path before us leading the way. He wants us to look to Him and Follow Him. President Uctdorf continues with, "The Savior extends His hand to you. And, as He did to those fishermen who stood long ago on the banks of the Sea of Galilee, with infinite love He speaks to you: “Come, follow me.” If you will hear Him, He will speak to you this very day. When you walk the path of discipleship--when you move toward Heavenly Father--there is something within you that will confirm that you have heard the call of the Savior and set your heart toward the light. It will tell you that you are on the right path and that you are returning home." When we turn to the Saviour, we receive complete joy and I know (especially with things that have happened this week) that when we choose the path of Jesus Christ, we receive peace, comfort, and happiness. "I testify that when we embark upon or continue the incredible journey that leads to God, our lives will be better...God will be with you. He will direct your steps. He will walk beside you and even carry you when your need is greatest. You will experience the sublime fruit of the Spirit: “love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, [and] faith.” These spiritual fruits are not a product of temporal prosperity, success, or good fortune. They come from following the Savior, and they can be our faithful attendants even in the midst of the darkest storms". - President Uctdorf This inspired counsel has helped me so much this week! I know that this is true! And I can testify of it in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.<br /><br />Also... in other news, we had tea with a member, and guess what they had? And GAVE ME!? GHIRARDELLI BROWNIE MIX!! :D so... that made me quite happy! ;) they also had some Tim Tams from Australia for my companion. What a wonderful treat for us both! Also, we spent many times with the Elders doing various things like tracting, street displays, and also, surprising one of the zone leaders for his birthday! We decorated his back garden and left him some sweets :) it was lots of fun! :)<br />Well, I hope you all have had a lovely week!<br /><br />- Sister Wilkinson<br />England Manchester Mission ☔️</div>

Transfers have happened, but the only change has been the internal change inside of me as I have viewed Conference. So, I am still serving in Chester with Sister Turnbull.<br />This area is treating me well and I'm very grateful to be staying here in the beautiful roman city of Chester and the beautiful hills of north Wales. Since I have been here, I have decided to learn a bit of Welsh. But, according to DuoLingo, I'm only 2% fluent. So, my favorite phrase so far is "Bore Da, Draig". Which means "Good Morning, Dragon" :P I enjoy how "dragon" is one of the first words you get to learn in Welsh! Also, the members are wonderful here, and I get along well with them -<br />even to the point where I attempted to eat a members fish when we all ate together 😂 long story, but basically, we were all painting for a service project, and got hungry, so this member went to go get us something from the Chippie. He came back with some fish and chips, and while I ate mine, some dropped on the floor, so I trapped it to throw away, and then came back and started pulling apart his fish because I thought it was mine! Haha it was so funny! It's okay though, because<br />earlier, he tried to drink my can of coke. He's been teasing me all week about things and we get along really well. Basically, the members here are just the best! I'm making great friends and I love it here! We are also now working with two families who have children over the age of eight, so we have been working with them. It's been fun to teach children more about the gospel in such simple terms. Hearing their testimonies always strengthens mine! They are such pure hearts and love Jesus. It's been great to work with them and see them progress towards baptism. Also, as I mentioned previously, conference was AMAZING! It's incredible to think that we have the opportunity to listen to modern day apostles of the Lord Jesus Christ twice every year. This conference really helped me. There were so many things said that<br />touched my heart and I felt that God knows who I am and what I need. Let's all take the advice of my favourite Disney film that has been quoted in Conference and "Look beyond what you see". Once we look past our spiritual eclipse enough to see the light behind, we can hold on to that light, no matter how big or small it may be. Christ is my light, and he will lead me back to my Heavenly home. Conference was a spiritually uplifting time for me. If you haven't watched Conference, you should! Right now! What are you doing reading my email when you could be watching an apostle of the Lord! Go! Watch! Wilko out...<br />-Sister Wilkinson</div>

<span style="font-size: 12pt;">Alright so, I want to go day by day and share one thing from each day. I've had a pretty great week! Unfortunately I don't have any photos this week - we have taken some, but we just can't upload them today) so there are more to come :P</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif, EmojiFont, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", NotoColorEmoji, "Segoe UI Symbol", "Android Emoji", EmojiSymbols; font-size: 16px;">
<div>
Also, we are now on our way to Chester Zoo - The UKs #1 zoo :) I'm very excited!<br />But, in the meantime, I'll give you a rundown of the rest of my week :)<br /><br />MONDAY: We hiked Maul Fameu! It was BEAUTIFUL! And it literally felt like I was inside of a wind tunnel once we made it to the top! I really had such a fun time there! We started comparing it to mission life. With the struggles, and the wind that is always around you, but that you are still able to see those small patches of sunshine and beauty. Once you make it to the top (endure to the end) you realise how far you've actually come. It brought to life the quote, "Often the deep valleys of our present will be understood only by looking back on them from the mountains of our future experience. Often we can’t see the Lord’s hand in our lives until long after trials have passed. Often the most difficult times of our lives are essential building blocks that form the foundation of our character and pave the way to future opportunity, understanding, and happiness." (President Uctdorf). I really enjoyed our adventure together, and the member who took us was SO NICE and made us some lunch. It was GREAT! :D<br /><br />TUESDAY: I had companion exchange in Wrexham. I was with Sister Libron and she is sooo sweet! It was an amazing exchange and I learned a lot. We had many adventures together including finding a CASTLE! We stopped by a potential investigator and he lived at this place called "Castle House". And well, to say the least, it was named that for a reason. His backyard was like an entire Welsh hill, and the entrance to his house had an old style castle wall, and it was a beautiful white color. He was very nice and committed to come to church on Sunday. We had a very spiritual lesson with him - nice man and a nice house :) We also met a woman who was baptized about eight months ago who was struggling a lot. She was so sweet and we taught a very powerful lesson. I felt that I was very open and honest with her. This was when I realized what I loved most about missionary work. And that is the connections and friendships that I can make with others. I have met so many people throughout my mission that I have been able to strengthen their testimonies and help them come back to church. This is my favorite part of being on a mission. These people all mean so much to me and the love that I feel for them could never be replaced. This feeling is definitely something I wouldn't trade for the world - what makes all the hardships of a mission worth it.<br /><br />WEDNESDAY: I finished exchanges, and had a bit of a hard time when we got back home. We don't have much teaching appointments in the Chester area, so my strength that i had just found was becoming hard to maintain. However, while I was struggling, Sister Turnbull was very helping. She turned to a Booklet called Adjusting to Missionary Life (a serious lifesaver) and read this to me: </div>
<div>
<span style="color: #454545; font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;">"Some people find talking with people energizing; others find it tiring. Both types of people can be effective missionaries. If you are someone who becomes weary talking with strangers, don’t give up trying. You have other strengths to contribute to missionary work, such as being a good friend to those you know well, having creative ideas, being insightful about people, or excelling at planning. You may assume others don’t like you, even though they really do. Seek inspiration and listen to the Spirit to help you use your strengths in His service and develop more of the attributes of Christ that you have access to as a missionary. You represent Jesus Christ, not yourself."</span></div>
<div>
Even though talking to strangers is hard for me, I do have many other strengths as a misssionary. Reading this boosted my spirit completely and has helped me get through the rest of the week.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
THURSDAY: Well (among many other things we did this day that I won't mention in this email), we taught a family whose son wants to be baptized. The family is a bit less active, but is now returning to church. The bishop visited him with a famous person in our ward, and they were able to bring them back to church. We are now working with them to get the son baptized. The father is very good, and we are now seeing them every Friday night. So, we finally have a progressing investigator and someone to teach! I love when things work out and the Lord hastens his work :)</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
This is taking lots longer than I expected... might not do this again :P but I still need to tell you about the rest of the week...</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
FRIDAY: So, we went on a bus to get to Chester, and the Elders happened to hop on it as well. However, we got off much before Chester in order to see if a less active member was home. After we found that all the people we planned on seeing couldn't see us, we received a call from the Elders that one of our bus passes was left on the bus. So, they had to hop off and catch a bus from the other side in order to save us from this situation. While waiting for the Elders, we decided to tract the street we were on, and guess who we found? A PUPPY! 🐶 And also, its owner ;) we took a photo of her dog, and shared our testimonies of the Book of Mormon. We ended us giving her a copy, and we will be seeing her (and her dog Teddy) tomorrow. </div>
<div>
Also, when the bus came, where were the Elders? Nowhere to be found. So, we called them and they said they were just at the next stop, so due to a very understanding bus driver, we were able to make it to Chester without waiting another hour to catch the next bus. Double blessings!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
SATURDAY: Okay, so this was a very strange experience. We had told the Elders that we were tracting and that they should join us (also, background information- it is becoming winded here and it was the end of the day, so to set the scene, it was very dark outside). They said they might, and we didn't hear from them since then. We started tracting and we got to this house with a woman from New Zealand. She was very nice, and we talked to her about who we are and what we did as missionaries. We gave her a Book of Mormon as well, and she was very nice about it and seemed very convinced to read it. So that was a great and uplifting experience for us! As we left her house, we saw two boys at the end of the street walking the same way the elders do. One of them was laughing and it very much sounded like them. So, we assumed that it was them, and we hurried to the next house so they wouldn't see us. After we knocked on a few more doors, we decided to go find them... and all the streets were empty. So, we called them to see where they were, and they had never been in the area we were. I found it so weird that those two boys weren't actually the Elders! Crazy!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
SUNDAY: We went into a members home and it was really great! They fed us and talked to us for a while. Their oldest boy is on a mission in Germany, so it was easy to relate them to my family. Also, the mom was very similar to me. We both liked cats, scrap booking, and also Good Mythical Morning. It was really great to be around their family. It really made me feel right at home. They also had another boy who reminded me of one of my friends. And we are also going to be working with him more as he is now a ward missionary and he is planning on serving a mission as well. This is a really great ward, so I am very grateful to be serving around such great leaders and members! They are always willing to help!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So, that is my week!</div>
<div>
This took me like, all day to write, so also, the Chester Zoo was AMAZING! They even had an Okapi - my favorite animal! And also, there was this Bat cave that was INCREDIBLE! And also a Butterfly Garden! :) More stories and photos to come next week!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I love this area, and I love the gospel, and also the opportunity to be a missionary. I also love all of you! And I hope you have a great week of adventure just like me! ;) </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Remember to always look for those days of sunshine that are with you through the foggy days!</div>

So... I want to start off with sharing my experience on one of the days this week.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #212121; font-family: wf_segoe-ui_normal, "Segoe UI", "Segoe WP", Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 15px;">
Many of you were enjoying your weekend, but this is how my Saturday went: (hour by hour)</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #212121; font-family: wf_segoe-ui_normal, "Segoe UI", "Segoe WP", Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 15px;">
6am - I got out of bed and said a prayer, read some scriptures, and then I did some exercise for half an hour</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #212121; font-family: wf_segoe-ui_normal, "Segoe UI", "Segoe WP", Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 15px;">
7am - I got ready for the day and ate breakfast</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #212121; font-family: wf_segoe-ui_normal, "Segoe UI", "Segoe WP", Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 15px;">
8am - I planned for the day with my companion </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #212121; font-family: wf_segoe-ui_normal, "Segoe UI", "Segoe WP", Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 15px;">
9am - I was doing personal Study. I read about the Restoration and the Plan of Salvation in Preach My Gospel and read a bit from the beginning of Alma</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #212121; font-family: wf_segoe-ui_normal, "Segoe UI", "Segoe WP", Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 15px;">
10am - We were out the door and on our way to Ewloe to do some finding. We stopped and talked to EVERYONE on our way there.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #212121; font-family: wf_segoe-ui_normal, "Segoe UI", "Segoe WP", Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 15px;">
11am - We tracted a whole street. Knocked on many doors.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #212121; font-family: wf_segoe-ui_normal, "Segoe UI", "Segoe WP", Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 15px;">
12am - We went to 6 different people's homes that were listed as potential investegators, and updated the information in our area book. We also did a bit of online proselytising</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #212121; font-family: wf_segoe-ui_normal, "Segoe UI", "Segoe WP", Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 15px;">
1pm - Lunch and companion Study. We read some of the new information that we have been given in relation to our technology</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #212121; font-family: wf_segoe-ui_normal, "Segoe UI", "Segoe WP", Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 15px;">
2pm - We made our way to Drury and again, spoke to everyone on our way there.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #212121; font-family: wf_segoe-ui_normal, "Segoe UI", "Segoe WP", Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 15px;">
3pm - We called by 5 different people in that area and updated area book</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #212121; font-family: wf_segoe-ui_normal, "Segoe UI", "Segoe WP", Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 15px;">
4pm - We tracted another street. This one was longer than the first</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #212121; font-family: wf_segoe-ui_normal, "Segoe UI", "Segoe WP", Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 15px;">
5pm - We travelled home for tea (dinner) and had some food to eat </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #212121; font-family: wf_segoe-ui_normal, "Segoe UI", "Segoe WP", Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 15px;">
6pm - We Travelled to Penyfordd (pronounced Penny-forth - yeah... it's a Welsh name). Once again, talked to everyone.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #212121; font-family: wf_segoe-ui_normal, "Segoe UI", "Segoe WP", Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 15px;">
7pm - We called by 5 more people in that area to update things in our area Book.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #212121; font-family: wf_segoe-ui_normal, "Segoe UI", "Segoe WP", Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 15px;">
8pm - We ended up missing our bus home.... so... we got a bit stuck, but we talked to people on the street, and tracted a few doors. We met a woman who was walking a husky. We stopped to pet her dog, and we gave her a card. She started to listen and so we gave her more information, and told her a bit about her church. She told us to come see her next week. So that was great to meet her!</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #212121; font-family: wf_segoe-ui_normal, "Segoe UI", "Segoe WP", Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 15px;">
9pm - We travelled home and made it back after about 45 minutes.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #212121; font-family: wf_segoe-ui_normal, "Segoe UI", "Segoe WP", Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 15px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #212121; font-family: wf_segoe-ui_normal, "Segoe UI", "Segoe WP", Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 15px;">
We were SO DILIGENT that day! We spoke to literally everyone in our path all day long, and we talked to many people at the door and where were the "fruits of our labours"? Well, besides that woman that we found, we also got literal fruit. While we were away, one of the members stopped by our flat and left us a bag filled with fresh apples from their tree. So, I think that will count as the fruit of our labour ;) I thought it was pretty funny.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #212121; font-family: wf_segoe-ui_normal, "Segoe UI", "Segoe WP", Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 15px;">

<div style="background-color: white; color: #212121; font-family: wf_segoe-ui_normal, "Segoe UI", "Segoe WP", Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 15px;">
But yeah, that day was really exhausting for me. Especially because finding is not my big strength since I have been on my mission, but it was all made up for the next day with church, and going to two members home and feeling welcomed and we were also able to help uplift all of them. So it was very nice. Also, this week, there was a Multi-zone conference where we learned all about our technology. Some missionaries are taking it a bit too far, but I'm sure after time, all will be well.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #212121; font-family: wf_segoe-ui_normal, "Segoe UI", "Segoe WP", Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 15px;">

It was an incredible meeting though, and I really enjoyed the things that were taught. An insight that I had after the meeting was that I was reading in my Book of Mormon, and there was a sentence that stood out to me. It said, "Let your hearts rejoice." I came to the realisation that joy is a choice. We have the ability to LET ourselves be happy and remain joyful. "Men are that they might have joy" - this is God's plan for us. So, in turn, we can let ourselves be happy and rejoice in all of the things we do have. We can be filled with so much gratitude if we let it into our lives. </div>

<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext" , serif , "emojifont"; font-size: 17pt;">"Occasionally discouragement may darken our pathway; frustration may be a constant companion. In our ears there may sound the sophistry of Satan as he whispers, “You cannot save the world; your small efforts are meaningless. You haven’t time to be concerned for others.” Trusting in the Lord, let us turn our heads from such falsehoods and make certain our feet are firmly planted in the path of service and our hearts and souls dedicated to follow the example of the Lord. In moments when the light of resolution dims and when the heart grows faint, we can take comfort from His promise: “Be not weary in well-doing. … Out of small things proceedeth that which is great. "Behold, the Lord requireth the heart and a willing mind.” </span><span style="font-family: ".sfuitext" , serif , "emojifont"; font-size: 17pt;">("The Path to Peace" - Thomas S.

<br />
The Lord does require our heart, and when we open it to him, we receive so much strength. Lately, I have been writing 10 things I am grateful for in a journal every single day. I have also written 3 funny stories, and 3 things I feel I did well each day. This has helped me stay grateful, happy, and has increased my self confidence. I encourage all of you to do the same. If you ever feel down, pray to the Lord for strength, and lift up your hearts in gratitude to Him.</div>

Hello beautiful people,<br /><br />Unfortunately, everything that could go wrong this week, it did. We were locked out of our flat, the boiler and the shower ceased to work, the lights surged, and our freezer randomly defrosts. Apart from these temporal distractions, it is mostly fine.<br /><br />I don't have much time to email this week as we were privileged enough to attend the temple. I am so grateful for this opportunity as I always feel at peace and assured of the love of my Heavenly Father upon my attendance. I truly am grateful for the covenants I have made, and the predicated<br />blessings.<br /><br />Doctrine and Covenants 105:12 For behold, I have prepared a great endowment and blessing to be poured out upon them, inasmuch as they are faithful and continue in humility before me.<br /><br /><br />Much love,<br />Sister Turnbull</div>

Well, transfers have happened! Also, my 9 month mark happened - half way there!!! :) It's crazy how much I've learned already!</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #212121; font-family: wf_segoe-ui_normal, "Segoe UI", "Segoe WP", Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 15px;">
So, I'm now serving in Chester with Sister Turnbull. </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #212121; font-family: wf_segoe-ui_normal, "Segoe UI", "Segoe WP", Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 15px;">
I'm so grateful for my time in Warrington with Sister Taumalolo. Warrington is a wonderful area, and I was able to find some of my eternal friends there. The members were also wonderful, and I didn't realize the effect that I had on some of them until I left. While I was there, I made an immediate connection with a less active sister named Sandra. She hadn't been to church in many years, and some missionaries would come see her, but she was known for cancelling appointments. But since we had made this connection, she started seeing us more often, and she then had us over for tea, and the past few weeks, she started to come to church again. I will always be grateful for the relationship I made with her. I also made good connections with a woman named Cara, who also came to church this Sunday, and our investigators, Lorna and Joe. I know that I was meant to meet these people and they all have a special place in my heart.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #212121; font-family: wf_segoe-ui_normal, "Segoe UI", "Segoe WP", Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 15px;">
These past two transfers, I changed so much, and Sister Taumalolo helped me immensely. One of the Elders recent converts, Ben, was talking to me the other week and said that since I was with Sister Taumalolo, he noticed a big change in me. He said I was more of myself, and more confident. That really touched me because I had been trying so hard to feel comfortable in the work, and to feel more confident. I've noticed the change in me, and so have many others. </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #212121; font-family: wf_segoe-ui_normal, "Segoe UI", "Segoe WP", Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 15px;">
Something that has also helped me this week is that I have been prayerfully reading the Book of Mormon whenever we would have a quiet moment. Doing this increased my spirit more than I could ever imagine! I'm definitely continuing this as I go into this transfer! There is a line in my patriarchal blessing that says that I will grow for my love of the Savior as I read the Book of Mormon. And that I would be blessed that as I read, there would be a sweet peace that settles in my heart that my Savior, Jesus Christ lives, and that he knows me personally. And this this love would be planted in the hearts of my future children. I'm seeing how that blessing is already being fulfilled. I have only read up to 1 Nephi 12, and already my entire view on the world, on my companion, on myself, on God has changed. Sister Taumalolo said that she noticed my entire countenance changed while I did this. I'm definitely more passionate about the Book of Mormon now and how much peace in can bring others. </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #212121; font-family: wf_segoe-ui_normal, "Segoe UI", "Segoe WP", Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 15px;">
This upcoming transfer, I want it to be a really spiritual one. I'm going to focus on the Book of Mormon and Preach my gospel so much!</div>

I am excited for this upcoming transfer! Love you all!</div>

I actually don't have much time today either and the main thing on my mind is that my ipad is STILL not working and it's really frustrating me because I can't type fast and I also can't send any photos that I have on my ipad because I can't get them onto the computer... so I've been really annoyed with it, and its been this way for a month and a half now.... Anyway, I'll do my best to remember what happened these last few weeks.</div>

Elder Ballard came to speak to us. It was really amazing and the main thing I got from it was that I am still needed in this mission and that Jesus Christ will lead my way. That as I rely on Him, He will direct my paths. I still have so much to change and to learn and I'm excited for all of it. He was also very funny and told us many jokes. I thought it was great! We also had the opportunity to shake his hand and say hello to him. When he walked in, he looked at us and said, "Alright, quickly, lets get this over with" and shook all our hands. He is so funny. I don't have my journal with me, or I could share more of his quotes, but it was great to hear from him!</div>

Last week, we went to the Trafford centre with the elders recent convert, Ben. It was lots of fun! We went mini golfing, and ate at 5 guys, and it was just a crazy fun day! We also had to squish into his little car. After that day, we went with the elders to give a blessing to a less active member's wife. His name is Rodante. This was the first time we met him, but it was lots of fun. He gave us burgers, and pigs in a blanket, and even some Tang to drink. We had a full American day on Monday!</div>

More highlights from the week... the British Pageant! So, we went to the pageant on Thursday night with the ward. We travelled there in a coach together. It was fun to have a coach ride with the members there and back! Then the actual pageant was INCREDIBLE!!!!! Like.... the best thing I've ever seen! The music is beautiful, the dancing was incredible, and the acting was great. They had a centre stage, and they had smoke going on, torches being lit, they went all out - I can't believe it was a free production. There were also really young children acting in it, and they had a full choir and I just cant even describe the greatness of it! I'll try to send a pic I have somehow. The music was beautiful and there was even a song sang in Welsh. I'm planning on coming back in 4 years to watch it once again! SOOOO GOOOD! :D</div>

Well, that's about all that happened this week besides the fact that I can't eat gelatin for a while... it may take me a bit to eat Jell-O and fruit snacks and such... but yeah, probably a good idea not to ask why ;) also... don't ask what is in it.</div>

"And it came to pass that Sister Wilkinson and Sister Taumalolo did take their journey into Chorley and they did hear the words of their leaders. They had a different experience than they had before, nevertheless, they were uplifted and strengthened by the things which they did hear and see. They also received many blessings from the Elders to lighten and uplift their spirits. They did learn much and had a great desire to share these truths with their fellow brethren."</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #212121; font-family: wf_segoe-ui_normal, "Segoe UI", "Segoe WP", Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 15px;">
Like how I just made a scripture? It was something that Sister Taumalolo challenged us to do in one of our lessons. It's 3 Warrington because its my third transfer and it's 6 days into the 3rd week of the transfer. You're welcome - that's how my week went in scripture terms.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #212121; font-family: wf_segoe-ui_normal, "Segoe UI", "Segoe WP", Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 15px;">
Now in modern English, this week has been one of learning for me. Our investigators have had little progressions, but the less active members are progressing well. On Sunday, our friend named Sandra came to church. She hasn't been to church for years! We have been working with her for a while, and she has never had an interest in coming back to church until now. We were very happy to see her come back! There is also a woman that we met this week named Cara who happens to be a less active. Unfortunately, she did not make it on Sunday, but we won't give up on her! The Elders ran into her on the street and she said she had been baptised in the Wigan ward. She needed help moving boxes to a house across town. So, the Elders arranged for us and a member to meet her and help her move. She told us that she wanted to come back and to have a fresh start. She had past addictions, but has now been fighting them. It will be very hard for her to have this fresh start, but we feel that she is determined. We will continue to visit her and help her out and hope that she will come to church once again.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #212121; font-family: wf_segoe-ui_normal, "Segoe UI", "Segoe WP", Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 15px;">
I'm not sure if I've told you about my district yet - it is doing well. It's been good to get to know everyone, and we are all very unified. We have street displays often all together, and it's a very good group of missionaries. Elder Barney has been a good District leader so far. My district currently is Elder Barney from Los Vegas, Nevada and Elder Schoonover from Ceder Hills, Utah - they are the elders here in Warrington. And then there's us, and the sisters serving in Wigan. Which is Sister Magumela from Losoto, Africa, and Sister Arthur who is originally from Ghana. She just started her mission.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #212121; font-family: wf_segoe-ui_normal, "Segoe UI", "Segoe WP", Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 15px;">
also, we had a multi zone in Chorley this week. It was very different than all of the other multi zone's since President McReynolds is more settled now. Although it was different, I learned a lot! We spoke about having a vision for our investigators and others we are working with, and then planning according to that vision. We applied this during weekly planning and it helped us have more well thought out plans as well as plans that have real meaning behind them. I think that this vision and planning exercise also helped us have more charity for the people we discussed. I want to continue doing this for the rest of my mission. </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #212121; font-family: wf_segoe-ui_normal, "Segoe UI", "Segoe WP", Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 15px;">
Something else that stood out to me was when we were in Elder Shima's breakout and we were split into groups to discuss hard work and smart work. Elder Cooper shared some really good sayings with us. The one that stayed with me was "I don't want to kill any sheep". As a missionary, we are called to "Feed his sheep". We should take that into more consideration. Feeding is the spiritual nourishment. If we don't share this gospel or help those around us, we are failing to feed his sheep. If we don't feed them for a while, they will die. We don't want to let our Father in Heaven down and kill his sheep instead of feeding them. I think this will be Council that will stay with me for a long time. It was a very powerful analogy.</div>

Other than the multi zone, I don't have too many other stories for you. I have laughed lots this week from all the times we were caught in the crazy English weather, and also all the dumb things the elders do, and also with the stories the members share with us. Warrington is a good area!</div>

So, we put it through their door, and the second we did, their dog jumped up and ate it out of my companion's hand! hahaha! It was sooo funny! and while that was happening, it was the end of the night and was raining HARD! So we ran home while laughing at singing primary songs really loudly. We've had a fun week ;)</span><br />

Here are some more stories from this week:</div>

1. We were having tea (dinner) at a member's home, and we were talking about Adam and Eve. Then, Sister Taumalolo said that her institute teacher taught her a good lesson. He said, "Adam and Eve were happy in the garden of Eden, but it was all part of God's plan for them to leave. They needed to have children, and in order to do that, they had to become mortal. They weren't mortal until they left the garden of Eden. Once they left, they became miserable and life became very difficult. They were also able to have children. So, this shows why having children makes you unhappy." We thought it would be this great analogy, but then it was just hilarious! So that was great!</div>

2. An older woman (in her 80s) shared this poem/quote with us on Sunday.</div>

I was studying in Preach my Gospel, and all it said was that the Atonement of Jesus Christ was central to Gods plan and that it included both his suffering in the garden of Gethsemane and also his death on the cross. But it then made me think about what the "Atonement" really means. And it's talking about how Christ suffered in order to save us. Through the Atonement of Jesus Christ, we can be cleansed, we can be forgiven of our sins. Why is this? Because the Atonement means what he did for us. He knows exactly how we feel, and that is why he can forgive us and provide us with a clean slate. It reminded me of a scripture that is one of my favourites about the Atonement. It is Alma chapter 7 verses 11 and 12. It talks about how Christ took upon himself all of our pains, sicknesses, sorrows, temptations, and how he also took upon himself death. It then says, "according to the flesh, that he may know according to the flesh how to succor his people according to their infirmities". He came into the world with a human body in order to feel exactly how we feel. He is the only one who can provide us with such mercy because He is the only one who knows how we feel. He is able to mourn with us, to rejoice with us, he is always there for us through the good and the bad. I always find it incredible to think about how much He cares for us. I think about those I love most and then it amazes me to think that he loves them more then we can even imagine. He has a perfect love for all of us, and that is why we can be healed through the Atonement of Jesus Christ.</div>

So, My week? Well, its been basically the longest week ever.... but its been good as well :)<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Its the first week of the transfer, which means my District Leader, Elder Thelier went back home. Before he went home, we asked him to give us blessings. It was a wonderful blessing and I'll never forget it! He said one phrase that helped me get through the week, and I feel will help me through the rest of the mission. That phrase is "Because He lives, and I love Him". Everything we do on the mission should be done because we love Jesus Christ. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I feel that I have grown closer to Jesus Christ this week as I have more fully recognize his presence in my life. As a missionary, I am constantly blessed with miracles and when I open my eyes to see them, I am always amazed at how many there are. We talk to so many people each and every day and help them in any way they need. In a country like England, this is such a good thing to do.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
This week, my companion and I have been thinking a lot about families and how important they are in your life. We have ran into SO MANY broken families here that have ended up in pretty tough situations. We walked this drunk man to town and he was telling us his story of why he was as drunk as he was, and it all based around his family and how he was abandoned. There is also this married couple we talk to in town that have 4 children, but they are homeless and aren't allowed to see any of them. There have been some seriously sad stories this week, and we have emphasized our teaching around families.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I am so grateful that I have been raised the way I have, and I know it was that way because of the gospel. The times we have said family prayer, read scriptures, had bonding time, and just based our lives around the teachings and standards of the gospel, the more our family grew together. I know that when we put the Lord first in our lives, that everything else will fall into place. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I have honestly learned so much this week, and I feel that it is a new start in my mission and my attitude towards it. I know there is still so much to learn in these 11 months to come!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Sorry for the short one this week, but I love you all!!!</div>

<span style="font-size: 12pt;">Hello everyone! So this week, I met my new mission President and its also transfers tomorrow! But I will send them in a separate email because I STILL haven't been informed if I'm leaving or going to stay.... so I'll update you once I can! I feel like I might stay here one more transfer. Not too sure...</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 16px;">
But, In the meantime, I'll tell you about my week:<br />So, first off, I'll tell a funny story. So, we live across the street from a pub. And all the past week, there has been this man there (maybe he works there?) but anyway, every time we pass, he yells at us something like, "Come on girls, don't you want a drink?" The first few days we were annoyed, and then after that we just figured he was drunk so we would look over and wave a "no" and say "Never!" We had a bit of fun with it. Then one day, we got off the bus, and the bus stop is on the same side as the pub. He saw us and pointed at us and said, "Hey! Don't you girls go anywhere! Stay there! Stay there!" And then ran into the pub. A part of me just wanted to leave in case he forced us into some beer, but Sister Taumalolo wanted to find out what he was going to do. So we waited, and then he ran out with two cans of Coca Cola 😂 he then gave them to us and opened them for us and said, "Now there's a drink no Christian can refuse," Haha! 😂 I thought it was so funny! So then we just had a normal discussion with him, and gave him a <a href="http://mormon.org/" id="LPlnk206807" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Mormon.org</a> card and it was great. He's a good man.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 16px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 16px;">
<div>
So, yeah that was funny! And now let me tell you about a miracle! (And then another funny story that topped it off perfectly).</div>
<div>
<span style="color: #454545; font-family: ".SFUIText", serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 17pt;">So, on our way to the multi-zone, the train from Preston to Chorley was trying to connect </span><span style="color: #454545; font-family: ".SFUIText", serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 17pt;">with another train, and they wouldn't connect properly. They tried a few times until we had about a half hour delay, and still nothing worked. One of the missionaries had an idea to say a prayer. So, my district leader, Elder Thelier, said a prayer, and in that prayer, he used the power of the Priesthood and in the name of Jesus Christ, and also described why we wanted the trains to connect, and then asked very specifically that they would connect in the next 5-10 minutes. I thought that that was a very bold prayer, and I wasn't sure if it was going to work. Then I thought, "all prayers are answered according to our faith", so I asked myself if I had enough faith to witness this miracle, and for some reason, this feeling came over me, and my faith wasn't shaken. About 8 minutes later, there was an announcement that said the trains had connected successfully and that we would be on our way shortly! I thought that was such an amazing miracle! We all said a prayer of gratitude and we were able to make it to Chorley on time.</span></div>
<div>
And now the funny side of this one was that since the trains were so delayed, another train came on the other platform. So a man on the train decided to get off our train (this was after they said we connected successfully) and we watched him sprint all the way to the other platform and he made it into that train! We all cheered for him! While he was running there, Elder Thelier said, "Now watch, ours will leave first!" Then as soon as we watched him get on his train, our tein left the station 😂 with the timing of when things were said, I just thought it was so funny! His train left only a few minutes after ours, so he still got there quickly, it was just so funny to see!</div>
<div>
Also, our mission President is great! I think he will be perfect for the EMM! There was already lots that He said that really touched me. I'm excited to get to know him even more! I learned so much at the multi-zone! It was good to hear a new perspective on everything, and I think this mission will benefit a lot from President and Sister McReynolds. Something that stood out to me was that President said, "Jesus Christ is more important than your family" and then we discussed that a bit. At first I thought, "Well, my family is pretty important to me! So it's a bit hard to see that!" But the more we discussed it, the more I found that it was true. We teach people that "the gospel blesses families" and how when we put Christ first, that our family will grow even stronger together. Jesus Christ is more important because it is only through His power that we can be with our families for eternity. On a mission, if we give our all to Christ, then He will bless our families. This upcoming transfer, I want to do everything I can to forget myself and go to work and to be fully engaged in my service. The first presidency have promised, "More happiness awaits you than you have ever experienced as you labour among His children" (intro in Preach My Gospel). I have had some pretty happy moments in my life, but if I am promised more happiness than any of those days, you bet I'm willing to give everything I have to the Lord. </div>
<div>
Well, I love you all! Can't wait to tell you all the miracles we witness as we begin our new transfer (wherever I may be!)</div>

<span style="color: #454545; font-family: ".SFUIText", serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 17pt;">Well, the reason I decided to title it this is because of all the miracles we saw this week. The main focus was about all the connections we have with people. This is what really testifies to me that the Lord puts these people in our paths for a reason. The first one, we were waiting for a bus, and it was taking FOREVER. </span><span style="color: #454545; font-family: ".SFUIText", serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 17pt;">We could have gotten a bus on the other side and it would have taken us to town much quicker. So, I felt a bit upset about it, but our first instinct was to keep waiting on the side that we were on, so we stayed there. Eventually, the bus came, and a woman got on the bus with us. We had a casual conversation with her, then she asked, "you're Mormon right?" So we started talking, and her daughter in law actually comes to our ward! She is a member we know quite well. So that was crazy! </span></div>
<div id="x_AppleMailSignature" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; font-family: wf_segoe-ui_normal, "Segoe UI", "Segoe WP", Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 15px;">
<div style="color: #454545; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: ".SFUIText", serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 17pt;">Later in the week, we felt prompted to stop a man that was walking past us. He was from Italy, and said that he used to meet with the sister missionaries over there. In fact, he planned on marrying one of them! So, he knew everything about our church. He said that he was always back and forth to Italy for his work, so he couldn't commit to meeting with us, but we told him where our ward met, and we are hoping he can show up one day!</span></div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: ".SFUIText", serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 17pt;">Then, towards the end of the week, we met a woman who said that she knew the missionaries her whole life because she grew up in a city were there were many Elders. We had a good conversation with her as well. </span></div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: ".SFUIText", serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 17pt;">These were all just little moments that testified to me that the Lord places us in the paths of others. </span></div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: ".SFUIText", serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 17pt;">Other updates on me? <span class="contextualExtensionHighlight ms-font-color-themePrimary ms-border-color-themePrimary ident_1604_1676" role="button" style="border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; border-color: rgb(0, 120, 215); color: #0078d7; cursor: pointer;" tabindex="0">Well, I meet my new mission President on Wednesday, so that is exciting!</span>According to some other missionaries, his accent is crazy. He is originally from the south of England, but has also lived in many places including America, Australia, and I believe Canada as well. So, I'm excited to meet him and get to know him better!</span></div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: ".SFUIText", serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 17pt;">I'm still in Warrington with Sister Taumalolo, and transfers are coming up in a week or two, if you all wanna guess where I'm going or if I'm staying. </span></div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: ".SFUIText", serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 17pt;">This week has been so good. </span><span style="font-family: ".SFUIText", serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 17pt;">Ooh I just remembered something that was really special. So, there's this tradition that happens every year in Warrington called, "Walking Day" where all the local churches and bands get together and walk around town with big banners. It was SO great to see! The bands were AMAZING! If I could have taken pics, I would have! It was really an incredible thing to see! We also saw our investigator, Joe, in the walking day. It was great to see a familiar face. Other than that, there's not much else to report. We are currently working with some wonderful people and have great investigators so that's been good! </span></div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: ".SFUIText", serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 17pt;">I wanted to leave you all with a quote that we heard from a less active member that really stood out to me. "Satan won't turn off our light, but he will dim it". This is so true. Satan does everything he can to make us feel miserable. He will dim our light more and more until it eventually goes out. But the second we turn our lives to Christ, He will turn that light back on and keep it even brighter than it was before. He is the light of the world, and he brings that light and hope to all of us. I want to let all of you know that I have a testimony of Jesus Christ and of his divine authority and calling. Everything He did while on the Earth he did because he loves us. When He was in the Garden of Gethsemane, he did not want to "drink the bitter cup". But (nevertheless) he drank it anyway. Why? Because of his infinite love for each and every one of us. I testify that the Lord, Jesus Christ, knows and loves every</span><span style="font-family: ".SFUIText", serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 17pt;"> one of us. And the closer we get to Him, the more light will come into our lives. And I say this in His name, Jesus Christ, Amen.</span></div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: ".SFUIText", serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 17pt;">Love you all!</span></div>

(Winnie the Pooh) I was going to quote the goodbye song from Fox and the Hound... but I thought that would be way too depressing... so I settled on Pooh Bear ;)<br />So why did I title it this? Because it's President Ulrich's last week! So.. that's crazy! We will all miss him so much!<br />We are getting our new mission President on Friday. We had a goodbye multizone, and well let's just say, many tears were shed! It was so good to hear from him.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #212121; font-family: wf_segoe-ui_normal, "Segoe UI", "Segoe WP", Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 15px;">
We also met some amazing people that we are now teaching! They have the sweetest spirits in the world, and I love them both so much! So that has been SO exciting! We met them on a bus (that we didn't even mean to take) and she automatically opened up to the gospel. I feel like I have found my friends! :) and<br />During Sacrament Meeting yesterday, we were talking about prophets. So, I wanted to tell all of you that I have a strong testimony that Joseph Smith was a prophet of God, and that our church is still lead by a prophet on the earth today - Thomas S. Monson. My testimony compares to that of Elder Holland, and I want to share his testimony because it is powerful and true.<br /><div style="color: #454545; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: ".SFUIText", serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 17pt;">"When Joseph Smith and his brother Hyrum started for Carthage to face what they knew would be an imminent martyrdom, Hyrum read these words to comfort the heart of his brother: "Thou hast been faithful; wherefore … thou shalt be made strong, even unto the sitting down in the place which I have prepared in the mansions of my Father... And now I, Moroni, bid farewell … until we shall meet before the judgment-seat of Christ.” A few short verses from the 12th chapter of Ether in the Book of Mormon. </span></div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: ".SFUIText", serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 17pt;">"Before closing the book, Hyrum turned down the corner of the page from which he had read, marking it as part of the everlasting testimony for which these two brothers were about to die. I hold in my hand that book, the very copy from which Hyrum read, the same corner of the page turned down, still visible. Later, when actually incarcerated in the jail, Joseph the Prophet turned to the guards who held him captive and bore a powerful testimony of the divine authenticity of the Book of Mormon. Shortly thereafter pistol and ball would take the lives of these two testators.</span></div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: ".SFUIText", serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 17pt;">"As one of a thousand elements of my own testimony of the divinity of the Book of Mormon, I submit this as yet one more evidence of its truthfulness. In this their greatest--and last--hour of need, I ask you: would these men blaspheme before God by continuing to fix their lives, their honor, and their own search for eternal salvation on a book (and by implication a church and a ministry) they had fictitiously created out of whole cloth?</span></div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: ".SFUIText", serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 17pt;">Never mind that their wives are about to be widows and their children fatherless. Never mind that their little band of followers will yet be “houseless, friendless and homeless” and that their children will leave footprints of blood across frozen rivers and an untamed prairie floor. Never mind that legions will die and other legions live declaring in the four quarters of this earth that they know the Book of Mormon and the Church which espouses it to be true. Disregard all of that, and tell me whether in this hour of death these two men would enter the presence of their Eternal Judge quoting from and finding solace in a book which, if not the very word of God, would brand them as imposters and charlatans until the end of time? They would not do that! They were willing to die rather than deny the divine origin and the eternal truthfulness of the Book of Mormon" - Jeffrey R. Holland (Safety for the Soul)</span></div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; line-height: normal;">
I want to say that I know the Book of Mormon is true, and I love everything Elder Holland says in this quote!</div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; line-height: normal;">
Sorry, I don't really have many funny stories this week, but it was FILLED with SO MANY miracles :) I guess a quick kind of funny thing that happened this week was that we were trying to figure out how to make it to a members house for a tea appointment because she lived about an hour away, and so we decided to call her and see if she could possibly give us a lift. And right as we called her, she was actually in town where we were, and she saw us on the street. So, she just said, "Yeah, hop in!" And we ran into her car as fast as we could while she was stopped at a red light. I thought it was so funny! And talk about perfect timing!!!</div>

Alright, week that's about it. Love you all! Till next week!</div>

It's been 75 to 80 degree heat plus the humidity... let me just say I'm grateful to be serving in a cold country.

First off, quick announcement, I should be avoiding "chatting" in emails, so just letting each of you know that I won't be able to reply too much to your emails when we are both online. President said it should help us focus on the work. So, sorry to any of you who may be sad, but I want to do everything I can to be obedient :) I'll get to<br />
talk to you all properly in a year from now anyway :)<br />
<br />
Also, HAPPY FATHERS DAY Everyone! Hope you all enjoyed it! :) My Sacrament meeting was so great! We had the primary children speak, and it was SO CUTE!! They said the cutest things and it was great to hear from all of them!<br />
<br />
Well, not too much has happened this week beside the heat. We also had companion exchange, which is always a lot of fun! I went on exchange with Sister Luo, who is basically an older, Asian version of me ;) also we are both obsessed with cats ;) so it was lots of fun!<br />
<br />
Anything else to mention? Oh yeah, maybe the fact that I went to a BAPTISM this Saturday!!! Woohoo! It was the first time I was able to see a convert baptism, so it was really exciting. I also got to see Sister Limb again while I was there. So, it was wonderful! The baptism was for the Elders investigators, both Daniel (from Romania), and Ben. Ben is wonderful - we got to know him really well. We also just saw him while we were at IKEA. Definitely a good member! So two new additions to Warrington ward!!<br />

My week has definitely been a good one, and I'm so grateful for all the miracles I've seen.<br />
<br />
Hope you all have had a good week as well - keep up the good work, and enjoy Summer! (Get in the pool as much as you can for me, okay) ;) That's something I wish I could do right now!<br />
<br />
Love you all!!!<br />
