January is over.

This was a cool week. I got to do an exchange in Brixton! It was really good, and I did get to see a few people I wanted to. I realized that as good as the past was, it won't ever really be exactly the same. So you've got to embrace it how it is now and work with it! A few places I went weren't really the same as when I was here at the beginning of my mission, and I think I was trying to live in the memories too much. But there are lots of things that are a lot better than when I was there. The ward is stronger and one member I really liked who moved into the ward when I was there, his family just came over here to live with him. He had been waiting for that for a looong time, but he looked so happy on Sunday when he could be at church with his family. I also got to see someone get baptised who I helped teach a few times when I was here. That was cool.

One funny thing that happened was that we went to stop by a less-active member and she shouted at us "Come back later!" so we went to leave and then she opened her window and threw us a bag of suckers. And then closed the window before we could even say thank you. That made our day.

Til next week, bye!
