12/20/2021 Temple Timing and Trust

Image
What a week it's been!  We met some really great people. One lady named Ayesha is GOLDEN! We were street finding and stopped her and she listened to the whole restoration lesson right then qnd there! We gave her a pamphlet and exchanged numbers and she is very eager to read the Book of Mormon! We are so excited to see her progress and come closer to her Savior!  I was so happy to go to the Temple again! The spirit was so present and I was able to receive answers to questions I didn't even know I had ❤ I was reminded of the true and perfect plan of salvation! I was able receive guideance and have experiences I will never forget. The Temple is such a sacred and holy place and I am grateful for the oppurtunity I have had this week to enter into the house of the Lord and get away from the distractions of the world so that I could truly hear that still small voice!  This week is Christmas?! Where has the time gone? I still remember last Christmas so clearly. This Christmas sea...

Hey everyone! This week has been pretty normal for the most part. We had interviews on Thursday which were so good even though they had to be virtual. President Thompson is so good! When we started my interviews he goes "I love getting your emails! I'm sorry I can't reply to all of them" and that gave my heart a hug :') The Thompsons are just amazing and I am so grateful for them! I don't think I could do this whole mission thing without them!  We had a lot of DA's this week which was so nice because then I don't have to make myself food 😂  Finally had fish n chips... and that's all I have to say about that lol.  Went to the Whittreads for a DA and they are the coolest couple! They remind me so much of my parents 20 years from now probably (always travelling!!)  They said they are going to visit Utah again when the SLC Temple is open and I told them they will have to come visit me because I will be home by then :) and Carol said she would do my ha...

Hello everyone! I cannot believe it's December! Time is always flying fast but this week I feel like I was living on a regular Tuesday and then God picked me up at carried me to Monday 😂 All jokes aside God really has been carrying me through! And I am so grateful for that! I am becoming more than I could ever become on my own and I really just love being out here!  Missions are so hard, I miss my family, people are not always nice, people we teach use their agency... companions are hard. I love my companion because I know thr Lord loves her but it's still tough at times. Missions are heartbreak a lot of the time but I have been growing so much! Growing as a person. I am learning to be patient, i am growing as a missionary, growing as a daughter of God, and growing closer to God and my Savior, Jesus Christ! The best part is that I get to grow while helping others grow in the same areas ❤  Overall I am doing really well! I love being a missionary! I love all the good and all t...

11/29/2021 Thanksgiving

Hello! Hope you all had a great Thanksgiving :)) This week was great. We literally got fed every day this week so I am so grateful for that 🥰   We had zone conference on Thursday and had Thanksgiving dinner with President and Sister Thompson, i love them! It was so fun because all the non american missionaries got to see some of the weird thanksgiving traditions (like the wish bone and what not lol) I also was so grateful to be surrounded by people on Thursday, made me less homesick AND Sister Jones was there so it really felt like home! Sister Jones is from Bountiful and her family has been really good friends with my aunt and uncle my whole life so Kylie and I grow up together and now we are both here doing all the things in London together! Hopefully we will be companions before she leaves in April 🤞 This week we met a guy named Tre who seems Golden. We have our first lesson with him tomorrow. Please pray for him! More updates about him next week probably. Also! Last...

11/22/2021 Home (sick) for the holidays

Hey homies, I miss you.  I am currently on the tube, trial to rush this email so apologies for the nonsense that is to come. 🤣 This week has been super busy but super slow at the same time. As most missionaries would say, the days are slow but the weeks are fast. We have had a lot of lessons cancel lately so we've done a lot of phone, street, and social media finding... but that sometimes takes along time to see the efforts, so its been a weird week.  We had transfers and I got a new district leader. He seems very kind but I miss my old district leader a lot he was an amazing example to me.  I wish I was home for Thanksgiving! But I have zone conference on Thursday and Sister and President Thompson (and the other senior missionaries) are making us a thanksgiving dinner so that's second best right after the Fox Family holiday parties hahah. I really do miss home but I also really love being a missionaries. I don't need to be close to home when I am SO close to my Savior ?...
