Feb 24-Mar 3

What a great week in London! So many things to be happy about and find joy with this week so here's your highlights! (I'll Be quick cause were going into London soon!) Highlights: ☀️The week started off perfect with a great p-day! We went bowling and I of course kept the gutters squeaky as always! We also played some pool and went on an impossible hunt for any kind of purple clothing which I guess must be banned in England because we searched every store and none to be found. ☀️Interviews wad this week and wow was it so perfect! I decided to finally listen to the advice of the other missionaries and go into it with a question I wanted an answer to and I can confirm that it works! I was able to get great direction and council and it makes me so glad to know that God is making sure I have answers! I love interviews! ☀️ So many lessons this week and our friend Moises is progressing so well and will be baptized soon! He was our miracle during my first transfer in Enfield and to see how far he's come has been amazing! So grateful to be a part of this work that brings so much joy! ☀️ SO.MUCH.SUN!! This week I finally remebered what warmth truly means and have a glimmer of home now that I will not be a translucent ghost when this time is over! The sun has been so nice this week and England has this funny quirk where there's either no clouds in the sky, or there's one big cloud that covers the whole country! I am so grateful for the sunlight and great weather and I'm looking forward to a beautiful spring! ☀️Used the Book of Mormon when finding this week and saw so many Miracles! Each day my testimony of the Book of Mormon grows stronger and I know it's the word of God! Its the book of answers and if you're looking for those answers, read it with a prayer and come to know for yourself! You won't regret it and there's nothing to lose from trying! ☀️Transfers are next week!! Stay tuned for the updates! It has been such a blessed week and I have truly found so much joy in everything we do! Even the toughest times have something to be happy about within them and I know that It's through Jesus Christ I'm finding this pure happiness! A spiritual moment for you guys, I have really been thinking about one of the scriptures I found when I first got here which I came across after I was praying for something I needed to hear. 2 Peter 1:10 10 Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall This verse has shown me how the Lord is so aware of us and our responsibilities that He has prepared for us! He knows what we're capable of and as we align our will with His and we place ourselves in where He has called us to, we will never fall! It's such a big promise in my eyes to say that we will never fall, but I've seen it happening in real time! We truly are supported in our callings, whatever they may be and if we lean into them and lean onto the Lord, we will be supported and carried to new heights! I love this Gospel and I can say with assurance that it is the way to temporal and eternal happiness and joy and thay through Jesus Chirst, we will never fall! Pay attention to what the Lord is calling you to do this week and as it says, you will feel the support you recieve when you take the leap! Love you all so so much and have such a great week! Dust your ceiling fans, 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...
