 LAST MINUTE!!

AHHHHHHH


☀️first things first, Monday: I witnessed Sister Shahid manhandle a pigeon using her veterinary skills. Mildly impressed me. Also lunch was with a really cool member that before told the ends of the times. Last pday at Basingstoke 😔😭😭
GOOSE CHASE FOR POST OFFICE

☀ ️Transfers was terrifying. We left the flat at 7:30 and truly know that time can magnified when a 1 hour trip can be turned into 5 hours. People helped Sister Shahid because they thought she was pregnant, so if you need help, put a bag under your coat. Met me new companion, SISTER PEREIRA 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🧠💪💪🥵🥵 (who is writing this email right now for me) don't tell her, but she's alright, she's from brasil, somewhere in the center and has a lot of dogs (Olivia, Benedict, Apollo, Cacau, Chica). We’re STL-ing it up in Slough, mighty prayers please. punch buggy 

☀️Wednesday, we are opening an area and we are going to convert King Charles we met a lot of cool people and we are sharing the flat with Sister Youaxa and Sister Mutshail, who we love dearly. Also 3 course meal Lunch appointment with members… blessed area

☀ ️ Thursday, DC in Hayes and got to eat dirt because we are broke, jk Tesco meal deals saved the day, came back and did more finding and teaching and soon to be baptising? Thomas kissed our hands on the street like a ninja. Speedy quick reflexes and he “always takes care of the girls”...

☀️ Friday, weekly planning!! Wohoo! Really fun, God has been blessing this area and we actually had a lot of people to plan for. Walked Anna Marie's home because she was lost for 3 hrs and now she is my grandmother! 

☀️ Saturday, I got to try authentic Fish and Chips for the first time, I'm fully converted to English Culture now. Saturday was cool, we also had DC at reading and I only missed 4 turns 💪

☀️ Met the ward for the first time on Sunday and it was fun! More rain! 

I must go now because dang it takes forever to figure out license in this country!

 TIME IS TICKING Oh,  You want another email? From little ole’ me? But of course!  Look up the video of the barbie snail saying “open my shell? But of course”  Very specific reference but it is vital to the vibe.  Ok I don't even know what to write about right now but prepare for rambling of utter nonsense as I try and recount this past week.  ☀️ I exist and teach sister Wanjiku how to make a cow! Very fun 10/10  ☀️Miracles happening in basingstoke and the Lord do be hastening the work. I don't journal at this point because I'm, as my companion would say, “a lazy girl”, but I can tell you that this work does not slow down right now! We've made 10 friends and have had so many people coming to find us!  ☀️Wednesday was interviews and I have to say… I LOVE INTERVIEWS! I love getting to talk with president and find ways to keep growing and improving! I feel like I've seen so much change since I got here for the first time and I don't want to plateau i...

Seven ways to say goodbye ✌️🥹

 Where to even begin. I never thought this time would come but here I am writing my final email of the mission. I'm going to skip the weekly recap and just talk about 7 things I've learned on my mission that have changed my life.   I am a child of God  this is something that I've always said but never truly felt until I came on my mission. I know that God has created me, I am His daughter, and He is doing everything He can to guide me back home. This is true for each and every person who has ever lived on the earth!   The Atonement of Jesus Christ is real! I can never truly express how deeply I feel about the sacrifice of Jesus Christ. His atonement was the single most important thank to ever happen on the earth and we would all be lost if not for Him. He is the creator, the messiah, our advocate, our brother, and our friend. I will never forget the experiences I've been privileged to be a part of when I've had to sit in my personal Gethsemane with the savi...

  I'm running out of ideas for how to start these so have a picture of a dog playing the clarinet  Monday was our final district p-day and we went to the chapel to play some games when I learned speed Solitaire. It was good day no further comments at this time. Tuesday I don't remember much other than dinner with Peter Wilkins and it was so much fun! He told us some great stories about his mission in Montana and how he was able to utilize his English Accent for the work by posting flyers around the town about a sermon held by a visitor from England and the whole town came! I don't think I could get away with it, with my barely surviving southern accent over here    Wednesday we went to visit our friend Alan! It was so great and he's trying so hard to change his life which is so amazing to see. We were able to teach him more about God's love for him and it's a little hard for him to accept right now because of different experiences in his life but he's excite...
