Feb 10-17

Are you ready?? Really ready? Are you sure? Positive? Okay I will begin then I suppose! What Even happened this week? I will do my best to remember but I hope you all have had a great week! Here's some highlights from London ☀️I went into the main part of london for the first time last p-day! It was so fun and we went as a district so the elders came with and we all went biking through the city, ate at Dave's (which lived up to the hype), and got to see Big Ben and west minister abbey! It was really good and somehow, I still don't feel like I'm in London right now so I guess I'm just consistently in denial. ☀️ Our friend Moises took us to a Gelato shop and he accepted the invitation to be baptized! He's so cool and God has done a lot of work in his life recently so he's seen a lot of miracles and is ready to be baptized! ☀️We had Zone Conference and got to hear a lot of great messages and trainings! All of them were related to personal goals I have been setting for myself so that was phenomenal! 10/10 ☀️Dinner at the member house and they made chocolate Tiramisu… One of the highlights of my mission for real and we played card games which was very goooood. ☀️I'm one step closer to convincing King Charles I'm his great granddaughter so stay tuned for my coronation! This one is going to be really short this week because I'm tired of typing but it was a great week with lots of rain and lots of fun! One thing our Bishop said this week during his talk was that at the end of our lives, it's our spiritual bank account that counts. I liked this because it rhymes. Just kidding, I did however think of how we always know an account is better that's able to collect more interest and to make more off of what we have. The Lord promises to magnify everything we put in but we just have to be willing to make the first step! That's all I got this week but I love you all and I hope you guys have a great week ahead! Eat your veggies, Sister Russell

Sage wrote an e-mail she wanted me to send to everyone!  Hello everyone!      It's been a beautiful (rainy) week over the pond here in Preston, England (we're actually in Chorley but no one really knows nor cares where that is so we just say Preston). I didn't write an email last week (I know it's horrible) because I felt like it would be about 90 pages with how long those days felt. Looking back they went so fast though which is incredible. So I be will summarizing the highlights for your entertainment!      Beginning with travel which was not as bad as I expected because I was asleep for most of the flight over here. So knocked out and still in fact, that the lady next to me decided I would be an excellent table to hold her things! I now know if my career options fall through, I have a promising path as an in flight shelf.  The rest of the trip was alright and I got the honor of being pulled by the UK airport security but now I get to avoid the ...

First 2 weeks!

 November 25, 2024 Sage began her 18 month mission!  Her first week she was able to stay at home and do some of her Missionary Training. She woke each morning at 6:30.  Sage and her dad did about 30 minutes of exercise,  she ate breakfast, dressed, and began her hour of personal scripture study. At 9am she would join in with other missionaries online so they could learn more about the culture in the UK and do scripture study as a class. From 12-1pm Sage had a break so that she could eat lunch and work on packing. She was able to spend time with her sisters, mom, dad, aunt, grandparents, and cousins throughout the week. Sage joined back online with other missionaries from 1-4pm.  She enjoyed her classes and hearing other peoples insights about scriptures. She would give us a summary during dinner and as we played games together in the evenings.  On week 2,  December 2, Sage began her journey to the UK.  Goodbyes, for long periods of times, are NEVE...

Happy Easter everyone!!!! Alrighty folks this is going to be a crazy one… or is it…. You decide 🫵 ☀️P-day in Hyde park which is always good! 10/10 good walk and saw some really big trees as well as a really cool rock! (District Leader is upset that we have the statue of Liberty and they just have a rock but I feel like it makes sense) ☀️Interviews on chewsday which is always so good! Sister Keeler and I got to tackle the trains and tubes together as we navigated into London and we made it there in one piece (not a reference) which is good! We finished the day with a DA at sister Lee's house where we learned so much about living off the land and got some chocolate eggs! ☀️I got to watch sister keeler get snap, crackle, popped by a chiropractor which was one of my favorite things to witness! ☀️ Weekly planning in a café and tracking down some friends but we have this amazing friend Friday who went MIA, turns out he left his phone on a bus so it was gone for the week. Fret not, he...
