Hi everyone, I hope all is well and you've had an eventful week:) Apologies in advance this is a long email.  This week I have decided that the first thing I need to do when I am back in the US is join my aunt Angi and aunt Jana in sewing, I tore a dress and attempted sewing it and well... its not pretty hahaha So if you couldn't tell by the title of this email, I have a confession. Last week I sent my email talking about all the good things but I also sent a seperate email to my family desperately asking for extra prayers. Some of you are aware of my mental health issues but most of you don't.  At a young age I was diagnosed with Anxiety and Depression and about a year ago I was diagnosed with PTSD. I was seeing a therapist up until I started the mtc and I just hoped that these mental illnesses would disappear once the mission started. To my surprise that didn't happen. Last week I had a "mental breakdown" crying to my parents, crying to my companion, crying ...

Wow its already Pday again?!  Today we decided to do a district Pday so we went to a museum & then out to eat. I have not had to eat seafood at dinner appointments or elsewhere so far and hope I can make it the whole 18 months without that changing hahaha  This week, where do I start? We made a goal as a zone to do street contacting for 2 hours each day from 10-12 and we have witnessed so many miracles because of it. We go to a town called Uxbridge every day to street contact. One day during street contacting, this man named Samuel approached us and said "The church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints!" And he was so excited, he had been taught in the past and bore a beautiful testimony about how he knew The Gospel is true! It was so heart warming. We are teaching him and he is planning to be baptized November 28th!!  We also have a friend names Connor who gets baptized on Sunday and Michael who will be getting baptized on November 6th! I love missionary work! It's b...

Hello Everyone! What a week! Theres so so many things to talk about but I'll try my best to keep it short:)  First off, General Conference! 💓 It was so powerful and I am so grateful for all the messages shared and for those who allow the spirit to speak through them! President Nelson... WOW! That man is exactly who the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints needs leading us! Being a missionary is really making me appreciate all that President Nelson, the Quorum of the 12, and the 70's. Being able to be in tune with the Spirit 24/7 is difficult but they love our Savior and the members of the church SO much that they continue to do that hard work!  So Thursday I got to London! And met President and Sister Thompson and they are so great! Thursday was really hard though. I miss my MTC family so much! But Sister Fennegan is my trainer and I love her! Shes from Dallas, Texas and is so funny! This is her first time training so we are both learning. She's amazing plus Dad and...

Hello everyone! I have a lot to say but I am trying really hard not to make my emails novels and I feel like I am destined to forget what I wanted to say but I do have lots of pics so that's good right?! Now that I have settled in and recovered from jet lag I have loved the MTC. I'll be honest, 6 hours of study and then 6 hours of class is very overwhelming and my first few days I felt like I was WAY in over my head. But we had a devotional (we've had loads of devotionals) something that I liked and will take with me as I get ready to leave the MTC is to focus on what I know now and study and pray to understand the things I don't know.  I know that this Gospel makes me the happiest I have ever been but there are a lot of things that I don't know. I felt like the other missionaries knew way more scripture stories than I did and like I am not equipped to be a representative of our Savior. But that quote really helped me silence those doubts because through prayer and ...

Hello from the UK!!  I still cant believe i am here! I dont remember much from yesterday all i know is that jetlag is BRUTAL! It literallymakes you physically ill lol. But im adjusting pretty well now.  Today was awesome! We didnt get much of a pday which is why im sending this out so late but we got to hear from Elder Kopiscke(i think thats how you spell it) ans he has a lot of amazing things to say! He talked about making goals anx executing them as missionaries.  My favorite thing he said was "if you dont take the Lords praise when someone accepts your message, dont take the blame either." I loved that, I needed that.  I told you i had an amazing district and it is so true! I love them all so much and hope to be life love friends! We all went to the Spar between devotionals today and sat in front of the temple. And the best part.. we LIVE on Temple grounds, the temple is my next door neighbor for the next 2 weeks. Its been amazing thus far even with jetlag so I kn...
