Stockton In England

Really a solid week filled with a little bit of everything. Time is flying and Thanksgiving and Christmas are coming and I am just happy! Here's my week in review: Tuesday (Nov 19): Today we had our zone interviews combined with a mini zone conference since our zone conference this transfer will be going to the temple on the last week. We had a lot of trainings about just giving our best at the end of the year. Then we had an appointment at night with the family we've been working with who has 2 kids about ready to be baptized and they are ready to go and so great!   We all had matching shoes at interviews    Wednesday: Our day was pretty decent, we started out by going finding at a wonderful place called Seven Sisters Station. We were there about 90 mins before going to visit one of our favourite recent converts, who ordered some food for us and we had a great lesson about fasting. We headed back to the chapel and had a comp study, did more finding outside the churc...

It was one of those weird weeks where it felt really fast but it also felt like it drug out both at the same time. So I guess things could have been better but also could have been worse. We were so busy this week and I felt like we hardly had any time to do work in our area together.   Tuesday (Nov 12): We had district meeting to start off the week. Then we had lunch and went to teach one of our friends we have been working with the past few weeks. The lesson didn't exactly go as planned, he had some concerns with the word of wisdom so we are focusing on helping him gain a testimony of the Book of Mormon and a living prophet. We also went out street contacting and had companionship study, before stopping by a members house who had cooked some food for us and asked us to pick it up. We then headed home to get some sleep. Wednesday: We had exchanges with one of the district leaders today and I ended up going with Elder Liddell, a relatively newer missionary, so it was fun to spend t...

It was the first week of a new transfer, and it was a pretty good one. Not too much to complain about to be honest. Tuesday (Nov 5): Transfer day! Today we had to head to Hyde Park to drop off Elder Hatch and then we also had the transfer devotional and lunch. Then Elder Hathaway and I came back to Lea Valley and got right to work. Went finding and then had comp study. Then I had to call the new Zone Leader in our zone to update him on info about the zone and our goals and plans so that took a bit of time, and we had dinner and called it a night. Wednesday: We had district meeting in the morning and then me and Elder Hathaway felt like we should go finding in a new place that we have never been before, and we just got wrecked so hard haha. It was actually funny how bad that time was going. Literally no one would talk to us until finally someone did and they just bashed with us the whole time. But hey at least we tried! We had comp study, did a bit more finding, and then visited a recen...

Such a crazy week. Ended up being back in a trio again and a lot of cool stuff and rough stuff happened all at once haha. But wow we were really blessed and life is pretty good. We had transfer calls on Sunday and I'm staying here in Lea Valley with Elder Hathaway. And our 3rd companion Elder Hatch is moving to a new area.   The trio 🔥 Tuesday (Oct 29): It was a long day. We had district meeting in Stratford today, and then we got lunch and spent mostly the whole day in Stratford spending time in their area to help them out with whatever they wanted. It was pretty cool but I just got completely wrecked and we did finding for about 3 hours and I just found nobody who would talk. When we finished there and traveled back to our area we did more finding outside the chapel to try and find someone who wanted to come in and play ping pong with us. Thankfully we found someone and we played for about the last 30 mins. It made for a long day so we ordered pizza for dinner and that was ...
