"Have you been ADHD? You should be..." - Mike 25' ack to the email and I'm feeling incredibly lazy today so I hope you're hungry…. For nothing ☀️ Monday we got to go to Nandos with a senior couple from Crawley and then we went to play chair football with the district which was cool! Then home… that is all ☀️Tuesday was good, we got to go to DC in Kingston. It's such a petty place and then we just did some great finding for the rest of the day which was amazing ☀️ Wednesday was great and now let me describe to you what finding is like in Farnborough. One of the first ladies we talk to beings to cry talking about how peaceful she feels and how grateful she was to be able to talk about her faith with us (precious), then next person absolutely tears into us because he worked at a company in Salt Lake so he knows “all about our church” and proceeded to say some crazy stuff that made no sense. Next person on the list was ‘high’ on a mountain top and tried to give us a hug (a “cuddle” in english speak) which we obviously declined, gave him a fist bump, and moved on our way. Followed by a man who just said "I am actually a direct descendant of Brigham Young! I'm not interested though…” crazy stuff. Then we found a woman who we've been calling for the past couple of days and had an amazing conversation with her. You may think ‘wow that's a lot of stores for a day of finding’! Let me blow your mind though as I tell you all of these things occurred in a grand total of 30 minutes! I love Farnborough ☀️ Temple Trip Thursday! Absolutely amazing! I love every chance we have to go and it was great getting to sit in the peace of His home for a bit! I got to see a lot of people I know , which is always fun stuff. Got stuck in crazy traffic on the way home but the day was incredible! We also had our Christmas party that night and it was so much fun getting to see everyone! So fun we may or may not have had to rush home at legal speeds because we got distracted 😅 ☀️ Friday was planning… that is all ☀️ Satuday was amazing but the best part was dinner once again with the Morgans who had a farewell Game night and game night dinner complete with pizza and chicken nuggies! They're the best! ☀️ Sunday, Christmas is starting to feel real as everything is looking decked in the halls and our church put on a Christmas Nativity which was so great!! Top notch acting and we had lunch at our bishops house with the family and they gifted us some snacks from trader joes which was so kind! Then booked it to the Staines chapel to got to sing our little hearts out as we do some caroling and I come to the striking realization that I know more than half of the entire stake at this point as I have served in so many of the areas around here 😂 Also transfer is out! Bird is leaving to the canterbury (pause for sadness)... I stay in Farnborough with sister Shaban which is going to be so fun! Farnborough for Christmas so more finding stories loading! Okay, I'm done now and I will ponder on ways I can edify and improve my email for next week! Goodbye earthlings and have a Merry Christmas!! Put Cinnamon in your hot chocolate, Sister Russell

 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...

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...

You just got a letter, you just got a letter, you just got a letter, I wonder who it's from! A cracked out sister missionary in England that's who. It's been a great week here so let me begin the recount so you can have your weekly view into my mind (good luck)! ☀️P-day at the Park!!! We got to get in touch with our inner 12 year olds and play a bunch of group games as a district and run around the park before we somehow, unbeknownst to us, ended up in front of the ice-cream shop! So we really just had to stop in and grab a sundae… ☀️ ZONE CONFERENCE! Just so so good! We had So many amazing lessons and I really loved getting to see everyone again! ☀️We got to do some planning at the park and I finally got some watermelon with salt! Literally the best way to eat watermelon and don't hate until you've tried it! ☀️ We've been able to visit with some friends this week either for meals or at their homes and it has been so much fun! I love being able to have disc...
