Sage Is Ok in the UK

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 ...

Helloooo family, friends, neighbors, and fellow citizens! Today is probably going to be a shorter email because we're heading into London right now for p-day so enjoy the first thoughts that come to my scattered brain as I try and do a recap! ☀️Another Chill p-day at the chapel where we watched my new comfort movie the prince of Egypt yet again and still doesn't get old. We played so chair football that I won… twice?? Literally impossible but I think I must've been possessed my Messi because there's no chance that was my doing. Also ended the night with our friend Jahmai’s gourmet cooking! He wanted to surprise us with dinner so he COOKED! So thankful for this ward and for our friends 🙏 ☀️ Found some amazing people and the conversations I've been able to have this week are so good! It's so cook hearing everyone's stories, where they're from, and to talk more about how much happiness can come from Christ! ☀️Happy Valentine's! Fun ward activity w...

Another week has gone and I can't believe it! So much happens each day so the weeks really do go by so fast! I'll do my best to remember the good stuff though so enjoy! Highlights: ☀️ Last P-day was good! We had transfers on Tuesday so we had one last district p day at the chapel where we played games and just hung out! I'm going to miss my first district in the field, but I'm so excited to see where all these missionaries go and the amazing things they'll do! ☀️ We got to serve a member of our ward this week and help with organizing a flat and it was so much fun! I love when we get to do service and it's definitely my favorite moments! ☀️ We met so many amazing people this week and I've been able to be a part of so many amazing lessons! The spirit really does lead each lesson and our plans change each time, but it's always exactly what needs to be discussed and I can truly see the light it brings to peoples lives! ☀️I'm starting a mission recipe...

Here’s to another week of live, laugh, loving! I'll try to keep things brief but as almost everyone who knows me is aware of, I yap a lot about unnecessary things so get ready to put those reading muscles to work.      This week has been so much fun! Each day I'm getting more and more used to missionary life even though I'm pretty sure with my luck I'll only feel fully prepared on the flight home. I'm so grateful that some things are getting much easier though. We saw a lot of blessing and miracles this week and I'm so grateful for each and every confirmation that God is aware of me and giving me the challenges I need so I can grow!  Highlightttsssss p-day was bowling day! We went with our district and it was so much fun! I was able to keep the gutters super clean with how many times my ball went down them… Still so much fun and we got some ice cream after and that always makes a day so much better! We had Zone Conference with all the missionaries and it was so ...

So it begins… Hello everyone!! I hope you are all having a great week and staying warm! It has been so cold over here in England and as most of you know, I am not a fan of the cold. England loves to do this funny thing where if you can see the beautiful sun, you can expect it to be freezing cold. It is warmer on cloudy days so I guess there truly is opposition in all things. I have more layers on than an onion yet it is unrelenting but I will survive. Fortunately, My family sent me a Celsius to Fahrenheit conversion chart so I know the exact degree to which I'm suffering  😊 This past week started strong with a great P-day of exploring the shops, watching movies, and having activities with the ward members! Also getting some Popeyes which is the closest thing I have to feeding my Chick-fil-A cravings so it was literally a tender mercy (pun intended). Some more highlights for the week,  ☀️We've started an English class at the church building! So each week we're abl...

Here we are again as another P-day begins! I hope everyone has had great holidays and HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! Thank you so much to everyone who's sent me emails! They mean so much to me and I've read them all! I will do my best to respond to them today! The weekly recap will commence now so enjoy  😁 Monday was such a fun p-day where we got to hang out at the church building and got into an intense spikeball and volleyball tournament with the Elders. There were brackets, blood, sweat, tears, Popeyes chicken, and croissants so you know it was quite serious. It was so fun though and a great way to start the week off! Plus we have a family activity at the ward on Monday nights where we play games with friends so it's the perfect start to a week! New years eve was pretty normal but there were some highlights! Dinner was great where a member was so kind to take us out to eat at Nandos! This was my first time trying it and I was definitely not disappointed, only ashamed when they ca...

We just got off the phone with Sage. Always such a great time speaking with her as a family and hearing of her adventures and the people she meets and is able to come in contact with.She has met people from the Philippines, Ghana, Chile, Tonga, New Zealand.....The food is much better than the MTC. We are grateful for the delicious meals she is receiving and those that prepare the meals for her. She in enjoying spending time with people, looking for opportunities to speak of Christ and His love for others!She had the opportunity to go into London and see some of the sites. It was SUPER busy because it was Christmas Eve.She had the chance to call Christmas Eve and talk with Sumer's side of the family and then Christmas day she had the chance to speak to Buddy's side of the family.She commented how amazed at how fast the time is going by! That is such a great thing to hear because it helps us to know she is enjoying what she is doing, she is happy, and she is at peace. As for her ...
