Hiya guys!     Was a great week. Super busy.     We decided to make a ton of cookies and then visit everyone to get that good relationship you know? Worked great, but there were a lot of people to visit.     We met our friend Glenn who is literally writing the entire Bible. Yeah. Handwriting it.     We also had dinner with a Brazilian family and they made the national dish for us to try: Feijoada. It was pork and black beans all cooked together (feet and all) with garlic rice, a vinaigrette and pork rind crisps. Oh and sprinkled with Farofa (cassava powder). I enjoyed it, although the Bones had gotten soft and I ended up eating a few.     Today we went strawberry picking and got a ton of strawberries! Was a great deal as well. But yeah, I am pretty exhausted this week with all the stress of sorting through the other Missionaries area and getting to know all of their friends. Things should start to mellow out now.     -Onwards a...

******Big Email Alert******     Hiya guys!     So this week was full of errands, most of which relating to driving. God literally made this happen, listen to this:     I got the theory test on Wednesday and I passed it! So after that I look for a practical test and lo and behold out of the hundreds of dates and several test centres it just so happens that Saturday is open in a place called Yeovil 2 hours down the road. The olny open spot for weeks. Oh and this place called Yeovil had one of the highest pass rates in the country.      Before we even go there though we have to get our car fixed as it had a dead headlight.     Now the car is all up to speed and after a restless night we head down to take the test. My instructor has tested tons of missionaries before and I know that he WANTED me to pass.      Pt. 1 Eyesight Test: Straight up could not read the license plate. I did not realize how far away 50 metres is. (G...

Hey!     So I am going to have to stop driving in the UK this Thursday until I get my license. My UK license! So to get that I am taking the theory (written) test tomorrow and then I get to take the infamous driving test after that in a week or so.     Let me try and explain that this UK is so much harder than the ol' Ada Oklahoma test. You have to do one of the following: reverse into a parking spot, parallel park, park up on the right side of the road (into oncoming traffic) or reverse around a corner. As well you drive around on the road for 30 or so minutes. If you make a minor mistake you get a penalty (ie, steering without both hands on the wheel). You get 15 of these minor mistakes and then you fail. OR you make 3 of the same minor mistakes. OR you make a major mistake (ie, being in the wrong lane at a roundabout) and instantly fail. I think I can do it, I have been driving fine for a month now. But, extra prayers would be appreciated.     The week w...

Hiya everyone! I am no longer in the England Birmingham mission. It is now the England Bristol mission. We lost our top half and gained a bit at the bottom. So basically the mission got a "haircut"     We had so many awesome miracles this week though. One of the best weeks of my mission as far as that goes.     1. We met a brand new person who had a Book of Mormon given to him 2 years ago, and met with us because he feels a strong pull to read the Book and sort out his life.     2. We traveled out to the edge of our area and gave a Book of Mormon to someone way out there. Now they want to meet up and have been reading every day.     3. We met a lady who just got out of hospital and although in pain had a very good discussion. We also removed all of the vapes in her house because she had been blessed by God to have not touched one since after her surgery. This was the first time she had ever gone without.     Doing great so far, the only ...
