Hello
y’all!
I
promised that this week would be a longer email so please forgive me for last
week's email. I was a wimp and wouldn't just type out an email. Oh well. If a
mission has taught me anything it's that you learn from your mistakes or
weaknesses and you just keep swimming. C'est la vie as my French friends would
say!
This
week has been crazy. This week has been the first week honestly where I was
like hahaha, this sucks. I'm not going to lie, the end of the week got a little
rough but it's helping me to learn more about myself and how I can improve even
if I maybe don't want to, or don't think I can.
This
week has also been crazy good! We had exchanges this week so Sister Clark and I
got to go up to Manchester to swap out for our STL's. Sister Ward was my
companion for the night and, geez louise, I love her. She is so chill and nice
and funny and we clicked immediately. We got to teach 1 lesson in Chinese
(Sister Ward is a Mandarin Chinese speaker in the mission) and teach 2 lessons
in English. One of the lessons, we taught this guy named Jake, and he is an
absolute legend. Loved him. So sad I can't stay in Manchester to teach him.
Taught him about walking in faith and trusting that God will help everything to
work out and we just had a really spiritual lesson that was great. 10/10 baby!
We
also had Halloween!! Just to be safe, missionaries were required to be in early
so we deep cleaned our flat and then had a Halloween feast which consisted of
mummy hot dogs, butterbeer, pumpkin cookies, and caramel apples. We then
treated ourselves and watched the scariest Church Video we could find which are
the 12-step videos on addiction recovery. They're so good but also so scary.
Would highly recommend them.
As I
write this email, I'm currently sitting on a double-decker bus watching two hooligans fist fighting and karate chopping each other in the aisle. Welcome to
St. Helens, honey. Life is good and life is always amusing.
We
have zone conference on Wednesday from 9-5 in Chorley! Very excited and
fingers crossed that I get to see some of my favorite people. I am very excited
to listen and learn and improve and just be better. My mission is great.
Genuinely amazing.
One
thing I know for sure is that God knows us and loves us. Of that I am
definitely 100% confident. If you don't know that, get on your knees and ask.
Love
you all! Keep writing!
