Great Sunday!
Mummy Hughes!!!
ha-ha that is funny :)
Speaking of parcels! I would like you to send me the Cath Kidston
aerogram envelopes? Please send me pictures of your beautiful faces and where
we live.
Today one of the ward mission leaders and his wife is taking
us to Temple Square and the Joseph Smith memorial building and then they are taking us to the Elizabeth
tearoom which is a British teashop!!! So excited.
No I haven't received letters yet, I’ll have to look today!
Last week’s training was really good, it was great to see
everyone that I came in with. We had a game of jeopardy on like mission hand
book it was Elder Seymour (from NZ) Elder Duncan (no idea where from) and
elder.... can’t remember his name.. So I said "may the best woman
win" AND I WON!!!!! There were lots of pictures taken, have you seen any
pictures of me on the facebook site?
At the new missionary training there was a great Mormon
message by Jeffery R Holland and it's called good things to come it is so good
:)
When I was at the MTC we were watching a broadcast from Elder
Bednar (only in the MTC Archive, sorry) and the question was 'how do I know if
the holy spirit or just me?'
He said 'quit worrying about it. Be a good girl, keep your
commandments and honour your covenants' I love him!
Yes I went to the temple square with Suzie and her sister
who brought her daughter who is around 2 she is adorable. We had a marvellous
time. We got to see a Mormon message by Elder Quentin L. Cook "hope ya
know, I had a hard time" not a dry eye in the room. She really needed that
trip. Suzie is so wonderful and her sister as well :)
I like it here. We have Greg who is getting baptized on the
15th and then his baby is getting blessed 16th so sweet!
We are teaching 99.9%
Less actives, we only have on investigator! He is great, we were supposed to
meet with him on Saturday but he cancelled on us because he had something come up.
He is pure gold though.
Thursday - we did weekly planning, I'm not lying it’s boring
but good!
We saw some less active families and trying to get them to
the cottage meeting (basically a spiritual thought at one of the presidency's
house and the missionaries invite people. They are so wonderful)
We were going to go on splits with the first ward but
something came up so we didn't.
We had district meeting which was good. We have great Elders
who are our District leaders and Zone Leaders, they are so wonderful. They
really care about us. We are the only sisters in our district. Happy sister =
happy district hahaha
Elder Contreras is our DL and he said 'missionaries have
success every day, because we are out here serving the Lord' which is true.
Elder Claybrooke had two great quotes: 'God can only guide
our feet when we move them' and 'pray as if everything depended on God, work as
if everything depended on you'
Aterwards we just visited a load of families trying to get
them to the cottage meeting, we made flyers and everything hahah
On Saturday we had a little bit of my 12 week training then
we met up with one of Sister Kent's friends who took us out for ice-cream
because they needed to talk. We were with them for about an hour
Then we went to the wellington which is an old people’s home
and we help with the bingo. Sister Kent calls out the numbers (there isn't any
hope if I do it, some of the people don't understand my accent haha) I love it,
we go there every Saturday and help. The old people are so sweet!
Then it was just more visiting houses for the cottage meeting.
This Sunday just gone was the best Sunday I have had out
here in the field. I don't know why but it was just more relaxed. We bore our testimony
each ward we were in. After mission prep we got a text from one of the yw
presidents asking us to do a lesson half an hour before hand because she was
sick bless her, but she is better and she is the one taking us to the tea shop
that's british! :)
After that we had dinner at the awoosoo's (not how it is
spelt) which was nice they are a family from Ghana and they have a daughter on
a mission and a son who has just decided to go on one! I love mission prep here
we have a great teacher.
Please could you get me abi hardings email.
How is everyone and everything!
Did Christopher have a nice birthday, I am going to send him
a card I just need to post it.
