Hi! Happy November!

So there were two holidays since the last time I wrote: Halloween and Guy Fawkes Day (aka Bonfire Night). Halloween was good, especially since it was on a P-day. And guy Fawkes Day was the 5th of November. It's a big holiday here in England, they do fireworks and bonfires and stuff, so it's sort of like the 4th of July for us. And they have the cool fireworks that are illegal in Utah, so that was good fun. :)

As far as an update on the work, since it's been a while since I did a good one of those, it's going really good! I mentioned a woman named Kizzie a few weeks ago, but she's really busy and we haven't seen her since, so she's not really preparing for baptism at the moment. But, we're working with two people who are preparing for baptism on December 3rd! One is named Carl and one is named Hannah, and they are both loving the gospel and the church. So that's really good, and Hannah is even coming to see the temple with us on Friday and I'm really excited for that.

Oh, and I saw something on the church website today that I was really excited about! It's a video of the bishop of my first area here! I was really excited to see it, because he is such a cool guy. http://lds.org/pages/a-book-of-mormon-story-mormon-message?lang=eng is the link.

I'm really excited because we've got some good things going right now. The weather is finally starting to get a bit cold. Up until now I could walk around without a jacket or anything and be fine. I hope this winter will be as snowy as the last one. :)

 

Alright, hopefully that's a good update. I'm off now, Bye!

Hi!

Hello! This has been a good week! We had an exchange with the missionaries in Guildford, and that was really good. We had a good Wednesday and met lots of really nice people that we're going to go back and see (hopefully) on Thursday. We have started teaching a lady named Shanetta and her husband. They seem really cool and interested, and they are willing to read the Book of Mormon so that's a plus. They're busy, so we'll be teaching them over a period of time.

 

I'm excited for this week because we have a Zone Conference tomorrow and that will be really good. We're also getting more chances to go to member's houses and share a message with them and it's really helping them. There are a few now who have given out 'Book of Mormon'-s to their friends, so that's cool to see. I'm also really excited for General Conference, and we're showing it at our chapel so it should be easier to have people come and see it.

 

Umm, I think that's all I got, actually. September went by way too quickly. We had someone tell us that England is expecting some snow sometime in October (which is strange for them), so we'll see if that happens.

 

Talk to you next week, bye!
