"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 g...

"My Favorite American Football team is the Lakers" Good morning people. I will type no here is my email —--------------------------------- Now 6 hours later and I am talking to my phone because I am too stressed to type because I put it off until the last minute once again. ☀️ Monday, we ran around London because sister bird had an appointment. It was so much fun we went biking, and almost got hit by count em not one, not two, but THREE double-decker buses! (for legal reasons that's a joke) It was so great! We also went to the museum of natural history where if you look up objects of desire exhibit number 4, he is my spirit, animal… Ran back home , finished up the day that is all. ☀️ Tuesday was, ight I guess we Just had a solid day of finding, and then we got to help this old woman named Marie walk for 20 minutes. So we could help her get to a restaurant because her knee was bad. I became a human crutch, it was great 10 out of 10! ☀️ Wednesday was cool. We had a di...

Went to the transport museum gift shop (the main museum was way to expensive) and then started our drive home only to discover one of the sisters forgot her phone so we drove all th...

  "I could just kiss you right now" -Martin 25' Happy email day!! Good morning folks! It is time for some more nuggets from my days for your viewing pleasure! Get ready for your weekly dose of sister Russell  This week had me one foot in the grave and the other on an iceberg. It was so busy but no complaints, in case I haven't said it enough, I love my mission!   Monday was a chill day in Farnborough where it literally has to be because there's nothing to do… that didn't stop us from having fun though! Went and got sister Bird's hair cut because she was in a close competition with Rapunzel at this point and then we just got to hang out which was fun!   Tuesday was Zone Conference! What fun! I got to see so many of my companions and catch up on stories. You're never truly prepared to hear some of the things that happen on the high street but it is so much fun! No further comment on this day  Wednesday… what a day. We went and got to have a full day of f...

   "Do you want to buy Solar Panels?" Get your reading glasses on and a warm glass of milk, then pour it out because that's disgusting. I shall begin Monday git absolutely drenched in Guildford as we ran around in the rain. It was pouring (surprising I know) and we got a chapel tour of a church built in 1745. It was really cool and we got to see the graves of many dead bishops and hear The origin of the skull and cross bone flag. 5.5/5.6 stars on yelp  ️  Tuesday was MLC which was fun but the best part is the drive home using the fox mask to stare at people. Good times!  Wednesday don't remember… To bad so sad  Thursday I got to take my theory test from driving and wow I felt like such a felon. They were checking my head, shoulders, knees, and toes to make sure I wasn't smuggling any contraband such as gum or an American flag. I passed though (whoop whoop)   Friday was planning and lunch out with one of Sister Bird's friends from Crawley. It was a...

"These Two Mormon Girls Are With Me" Here we goooooooo  I'm very sleepy and trying to write this early today so I can have fun without the impending deadline hanging over me… what a week though! My first week in Farnborough and I know this is already starting off to be such a great transfer! Sister Bird must be my missing brain cell because we are to alike. If you thought it was bad enough knowing one sister Russell, make it double. We must be sharing some branches on the family tree somewhere. I'll get to the week now!  Chill packing pday…is what it would have been had I not decided to challenge myself to pack within two suitcases with my carry-on stuffed in one of them. It was a fun challenge and will be doing the same next time I transfer. Gotta o have breakfast with the Greenfields again and say good bye!   Tuesday was Transferssssss. I got to see everyone again which was so much fun and I got to say goodbye to the dying missionaries. It's so weird to see the ...

Good Luck  I don't know why time is actually nonexistent. I can't keep track of the days at all! I will suffer through a recap though as you see how I try to talk to my sister Ashlyn while typing!  Monday I saw so many cows and we had p-day at a Brazilian Cafe no more to elaborate on  Tuesday I got to have  —----------------------------- --------------- That was the end of my attempt for an email last week… apologies, I am deeply humbled but as they say, judge not or your trousers will tear on camera in front of an assisted living home full of grandmothers.  You don't have to read the whole email, I just have to write it so that I can have some form of journal on my mission… Attempt number 2 (previous week)   still no comment on the Brazilian Cafe  Service with Monica and we got to do so much gardening! Then Exchanges with sister Sodalee! 10/10 curry  I return to my companion and we have an amazing lunch with the Summergills and then our phon...
