Conference

Out Jacob's window of his new flat

Wellllll this has been a crazy week to say the least. I don't have much time to write. It seems like everything just got 100000 times busier. But that's good haha busy is good! So I'll tell you a little bit about the new area. So we are still in London. But it's a bit outside of central London. Our flat us super great. We even have a gym that we can go to haha so that sick. I just run on the treadmill every day. It's awesome. My companion is Elder Tonks from bountiful Utah! He went to Viewmont and he has been out a bit over a year. So his mom emailed last week and she went to Highland and knows about the Parkin brothers who were bonnie Parkin’s son’s haha I was laughing so hard. Her name is Tracey Warner. Maybe uncle Jeff knows her. But that's a cool connection!

So basically I have just been getting to know the area and the zone all week. We haven't really spent much time in our own area but it has been so good getting to know everyone. Lots of the missionaries I have served around so it's way cool. It has been a huge difference coming from Britannia (central London) expensive cars, etc. to north London where it's pretty sketchy. Some guy got stabbed to death in front of our flat last week which was pretty sketchy. But there are so many amazing people here. We had a few hours to do some finding in our area and I met probably 7-8 families from Ecuador and Columbia and they were soooo lovely! We are seeing them this week. I wish I could remember all that Senior Salles taught me haha which was nothing. But I'm super excited to meet up with them again!

It's been good to come back to Hyde Park for general conference! I was able to see Elder Hinatsu and also Elder Burgess hahaha. We even went back to the good old Britannia flat to eat some lunch in between sessions. I loved conference! It was amazing. It's crazy how special it is on the mission. It's something that I will never forget. I did miss biscuits and gravy but it's okay haha. It'll come. But I loved Sister Oscarsons talk about believing and knowing for ourselves. I think we all have to ask ourselves if we believe what we have grown up being taught and I am so glad that I can say I believe it. And know

it.

Well I don't have much more time. It's been a good week, but a bit stressful and I don't really know what I'm doing sometimes but I'll figure it out. The Lord qualifies us.

The lord’s hand

I saw the lords hand this week in helping us find people to teach even though we have been out of our area almost all week. I have learned that when we forget about ourselves and serve other missionaries that the Lord will help us in our own efforts and work.

I love you guys and miss you. Keep being the best in the world. Love you lots!
