Well fam bam,

It's been a great week. Don't have much time today but overall, everything has been good. The weather has been a bit moody haha, we had a few sunny days and we got a bit comfortable, which isn't okay to do in England so it decided to start raining at the end of the week non stop. But it's alllll good. Everything gets 10x more green after it rains so it's Beautiful. Some of the leaves are already changing which is pretty wild. Autumn will be here before we know it. But overall we have had some good lessons this week.

We were able to see L and R this week! They are brilliant! Lena loves reading the Chinese Book of Mormon and R loves praying. So we are pretty excited about them. We have been teaching them over Skype or Wechat with other Chinese members so it works out pretty well! We invited them to church this week and they both came and loved it. L shared how peaceful she felt during the sacrament. It was a great meeting as well, Elder Ammermon gave a talk and they really felt the Spirit. We are trying to have Skype lessons with them every day and seeing them in person 2 times a week. It's hard because they are

always so busy with school. But we can find time.

We taught Z a few times this week as well! She is super super good. She came to church as well. She has been plenty of times before but she has started to being her boys along. And they love it. She sends them off the primary and they just love it. She has a few things holding her back right now. Very small things. But she has had so many crazy experiences happen that really are answers to her prayers, she was going to be late to church and she made every single green light, and when she arrived, all the talks were about conversion stories. She first met the missionaries because she prayed for some to come around and like a few days later they knocked on her door. So she has had some cool experiences but she struggled to recognise them as answers sometimes. But we are helping her.

So it's been a lovely week here in duston. We are being fed a lot which is good. Don't worry momma haha. The ward is just so good. We struggled finding new people this week to be honest. Not much of anything. So this next week will be a bit slower. But we found some new places to contact so that will be interesting and super fun. I always love trying new places and just getting lost and meeting people that we wouldn't meet anywhere else and realising that the Lord places us in certain areas.

Lords Hand

I saw the Lords Hand this week in L and her willingness to read the Book of Mormon. She read in faith, knowing it would help her with her studies and it did. I'm grateful that the Lord was able to help her feel the comfort and understanding while she was studying.

Well I am stoked for the Utes to get a W. Let me know how the game goes. It's crazy that college football is starting. I'm already missing my second season haha. But I'm excited to hear how the Utes do! Love you guys! You're the best.

NO SHORT CUTS
