Changes

Good day everyone. 

 


This week was a week of changes and it was much slower than I am used to.


 

Tuesday night, I was fortunate enough to have a dinner with some members. They were so kind to us and cooked us the legendary Sunday English Roast. The picture includes roast chicken and veggies, roast potatoes, carrot mash, baked broccoli and cream, baked cauliflower and cream, steamed vegetables, and most importantly the homemade gravy that pours over everything. Fine meal I tell ya (Also Blueberry Chocolate Cake for Dessert)

 


The next day we got news of a few things:

-Our District (group of us in South Central England) is getting split up in response to the loads of missionaries coming in soon. So instead of being in a group if 13 or so people, I am in a group of 4...


 

-An Elder shattered his knuckle playing football, so because of that and other reasons we can't play sports unless we get it approved by our mission president, or it is our day off (Mondays).


 

-Social Media in the mission is getting switched up, so I am trying to navigate all this training and shift focus off of social media finding and events. It's been a little confusing and rocky.

 


So yeah, with those things in mind, many plans changed or vanished. We had done a lot of sports events in the past, so we couldn't do that anymore and we had to adjust to a new district, focus, and guidelines.


 

So really just been doing some basic work, contacting as many people as we can, doing service every few days, and finding online and on the streets. (Sometimes that includes random people coming up to you and asking where your church is and getting your number haha. Makes me so happy tho)


 

Recently I have been learning to solve the Rubix Cube. It isn't terribly hard, but if you ever wanna pick it up, just know there is a method to solve it and you can't solve it on your own unless you are a genius. But that has been fun. 


 

I want to hear from you guys! Send me an email of how school or life is going. What am I missing? What is going on in the US. Ask me any questions! I love you all and will get back to you individually next Monday.


 

Thanks for your prayers, stay safe

Hiya! I ticked another item off my mission list. We met with a man this week (The one from Patagonia in the previous email), and we got talking and found out he is the head pastor at 3 Welsh-speaking churches in the area. That is his job. He let us into his Chapel, and we got to look around. It was quite something. On the top of the building (much like our temples), was inscribed the word "Zion". But yeah, it was cool to teach a Welsh Pastor. Don't really see much happening with him though. We also taught Wendy again this week, and this time she cried when she shared about the Plan of Salvation. She is so sweet and humble, and we look forward to continuing to teach her. I pray she joins the church; she would be so good. On Wednesday, we had what I call "Old Person Game Night" at the chapel. Since our congregation is so old (average age of 60), we had an activity with really simple pub games, which included bowls, 9-pins ring toss, and darts. Surprisingly enough,...
