  Mary Poppins Bag of Maggots Yes, you read the title correctly and I will unfortunately explain later in this email… In the meantime while you steel your stomach I will provide the awaited updates and accurate presentation of data in regards to my service as a missionary thus far. Account recorded covering 12th-18th of August. Written on the 18th day of the eight month, being August, in the year of 2025 at 10:31 A.M (Trying to hit the word count of an essay)  FIRST WEEK IN BASINGSTOKE! (A.K.A amazing-stoke). I love this area so much and I have been having so much fun, especially with my companion sister Shahid! She's from Pakistan and we have been having so much fun together! Running around the streets like maniacs, talking to every person we see, getting to know the members, and Sister Shahid teaching me how to sing   ( She sings the Urdu cover of “Look unto Christ” on the youth albums…WHAT?) I am but a humble worm   I had to part ways with my dearest sis...

  I'm to lazy for a title, be creative and make your own You get voice to text today because I'm running behind as per usual. I'll be super quick… Monday-we had a district p-day and played uno no mercy which lives up to its name…I lost very quickly Tuesday- miracles, as we went finding in workingham (blessed area) and a lesson with our friend Paul. Then ended up meeting a man named Billy, who had been praying about coming to church! Really cool guy! Wednesday- Don't remember  Thursday- Finding with sister Horton and visiting members got to visit Summer. Who's an angel! We had so much fun Friday- Went out for a lunch with Ardier member Sandra who I will miss dearly. She's like my sister from another Mr. And we met with one of our new remembers! Then had a chaotic weekly planning that evening Saturday- We went full Sherlock Holmes and tracked down someone we haven't been able to get in contact with. We were able to get in touch with his brother which is an abs...

  A Ratatouille Conversion LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, BOYYYYYS AND GIRRRRLLLLS…. hi. Another email for you lovely people and bear with me because I'm, you guessed it, L A Z Y  Tuesday got a tooth filling and have a new level of empathy for fish as I now know what it's like to have my cheek pulled back to touch my ear…   Wednesday exchanges with Sister Wanjiku! I learned about how I need to “stand on business” and we talked for wayyyy to long about out personal studies but no complaints   Thursday, District council and finding blitz, service for Louise, Jalloh Rice  , and rain… wonderful day   Friday was FHE night and we had a great discussion about temples and our friend Lysander made us mushroom butter which is shockingly exactly what it sounds like… also an intense game of Uno no mercy that I lost… very quickly   Saturday was finding with sister Horton and visiting with members which was so much time. I also learned I can catch 5 black...

  Am I The Problem??  I DONNNTTT EVENNN KNOOOWWWW The weeks go to quick to keep track anymore but I'll give you something so fret not   Tuesday was Zone Conference and it was so great. I got to reunite with my trainer sister Wilkinson who was so happy to be rid of me and has now learned she can never escape! I got to see so many of the missionaries I've terrorized in my previous districts so I was grateful for that and I also became the proud owner of the coolest glasses any sister missionary could own as my friend Enoch surprised me with some sick shades (Vision -5, Charisma +12 as the kids say) The Hortons also surprised me with some birthday gifts     Sister Shanmugam was out of action Wednesday and got sick. She slept for 6 hours and I went slowly insane (more so than normal surprisingly). I think I'm the problem and my companions keep getting sick each transfer... tough luck I guess.  In the middle of a conversation, a random man palmed my fo...
