6 MONTHS and staying in London!!!

Hello family! First off! It’s been 6 MONTHS! It seems like a year some days and other days it seems like a week. It's crazy. So transfers, I will be staying in London! So I'm super happy about it. President also put another district in our zone and called me to be the District Leader. So I will be the new district leader of the Britannia district with us, another companionship of elders, VC sisters and the APs. To be honest I've been freaking out all day and I have no idea what I'm doing at all....I feel like I've been out for a week. It's like letting one of the little kids in Vinhagen shoot the 12 gauge for the first time. It's usually a disaster. But I'm going to try my best and just put the head down and grind it out I guess haha. President gave some high expectations and it's stressful and I am just going to try my best to make him proud. So my companion is from Idaho and he is Japanese. He seems like a really cool guy. I will meet him on Wednesday! Well I guess that's the big news.

So this week has been long to be honest but good. It's always hard after a baptism because you have been focusing on someone for so long and "I" was just awesome and she was progressing so fast and she is just great. So we have been doing a lot of finding this week. We have also been quite busy with lunch appointments as well because members from Elder H’s old wards have wanted to take him out so it has been good to actually get some dinner and lunch appointments. But ya, a lot of finding this week. We have found some pretty awesome people but every single one of our appointments fell through so we were a bit bummed but we are planning on seeing most of them this next week.

To be completely honest nothing else happened this week that was note worthy or mentionable haha except for on Saturday we got permission to go to Northampton! My old zone! Elder H has been teaching a Hungarian over Skype who lives in Northampton and he asked Elder H to do the baptism so we were able to go! It as great to witness another baptism and also see the zone leaders, they are some great friends. When we were traveling back, we got on the train from Northampton to London and after 5 minutes they cancelled every single departure back to London and it was already like 8. So we called the zone leaders and they drove us to the closest train station (which wasn't close) haha and we then caught a 2 hour train ride back home. Wow it was the longest day of my life haha. I was and am still super tired but anyway, that's really all that happened this week.

Lords Hand

I have seen the Lords Hand in helping me cheer up! It's been a super gloomy week and it's been raining, windy and cold every day. But the sun came out for just a second and it cheered up like everyone on the street and people actually wanted to talk to us for a while! I am grateful for that and I know the Lord knows how to bless and help support us.

I love you guys! I'm assuming Sun Valley was wayyyy sick. I hope they had the big jumps set up. Well I love you and miss you. I hope all is well back home and in SV. Have a great week. Love you
