no Idea why it only works this way- but here it is right side up!

Ok.  So.  It's been a while.  My "mother" or trainer left :(  Sad sad sad day.  I love her so much, she was such a great example to me!  And so Sister Willard is my new companion.  She is pretty cool, I don't know her very well yet to be honest.  Right now we are actually in a tri or a threesome with the Sister in Exeter, Sister Pitcher.  She's been in my district, so I actually know her better than I do my companion, but yeah.  It's been an adventure to be in a threesome and to be covering two areas.  It's had it's ups and downs.  We have met some pretty cool people though, and so that's been good.  There is a reason to all things, and it's been cool to get to know the other ward as well. 
There is a guy in Exeter, Dale, that was brought into the church, or whose missionary was Elder Ard (my friend Daniel from school).  That was really cool, because....well....just because it's a cool small world to know someone that someone else knows.  Anyway, it was cool and it made me happy!  So yeah, that was cool, and he may or may not give me a ukulele!  haha.  I might be able to keep up my skills, by playing like....once a week, but still!  Then hopefully I won't forget all the mad skills I developed before coming out! 
Other than that, traveling back and forth, and trying to get used to moving around so much, life has been alright.  I'm so grateful for the gospel and the difference it can make in people's lives, if we just allow it to.  Hmm....other than that, I don't really know what else to write.  The sun has been out a lot, and it's been humid, so that's been nice, and....hot, but that's good.  I'd rather walk around in the sun and sweat then be super wet. 
Thanks for all that you all do for me, and I hope to hear from you in the near future!  Take care, make good choices and remember who you are!
Ok...I can't remember which is whic,

 but we got a battered mars bar (piece of heaven on earth, although really unhealthy!)

 and then one is us going down the escalator to the tube...then...hm...

one of us having a pday with the elders that aren't in our district...waiting for moves! 

And yeah....then a couple of just me, and yes, I am normal :) 

and one of pretty England and the Sea!

Hello everyone!

This week has been another week in rainy, beautiful England!  I hope that all is well in the land of the free and the home of the Brave! I keep hearing rumors about how we are number 2 in the Olympics....SWEET!!!

Ok.  So.  Yeah.  This week has been good.  Sister Allred is headed home, she actually left Paigntion yesterday, and last night I had a dream about her.  I miss her so much already.  We just have so many good times that we've shared together, it literally has been so great, and I have been so fortunate to have her.  My "father"  is equally great, and I told him that he can't leave, I can't go completely parentless in one week, so hopefully the Lord agrees and he won't get transferred.  I really have been so blessed out here with great missionaries who lead and guide me.  They keep telling me that they look up to me (not sure how since I'm so short....but....).  But it really has been such a blessing.

Derek is doing good.  Parveen is still angelic.  We're working with a lot of Less actives, and hopefully my new companion and I will be able to start off new and fresh and work our bums off to get people back to church.  It's been good, and I've learned so much just within the last week.  I need to work so much harder to become the person that the Lord needs me to become.  I'll be honest, I am nervous and scared for this next week, or this next moves. I don't feel ready to be "accountable" yet. I guess I've kinda been hiding behind Sister Allred a little. But I'm also excited, hopefully I'll be more in tune with the Spirit, since I can't remember anything anyway!

Life has been good here, and the sun has been out a little bit.  We've seen a few miracles this week with people coming back to church and really just opening up to us.  We watched the Joseph Smith film with an investigator this week, and it made me realize how great the prophet Joseph Smith really was!  He really was such a great and humble man!  That's one thing I need to work on...my pride!  It's so ridiculous the things I can be proud about!  But....all we can do is try to be better day by day....so....today is the day! :)


Life is good, and I've recognized how truly blessed I've been with family and friends specifically this past week.  Thanks for all the love and support you all give me, I wouldn't be here if it weren't for all of you and the great examples you've set!  The gospel is great and the Lord lives!  Thanks and lots of love!
