"granddad don't worry, I will teach how to play xbox."
so cute. we heard a little boy say that to his granddad as they were
walking ahead of us. It is insane how great little kids are with technology.
when I get home I am sure that adam is going to be showing me how to do and work
everything!
I know I have said how much I love England. but I decided (at the very end
of my mission oops), that each week I am going to say a reason why I love
it!
1. everywhere you go there are wild blackberries growing.
everywhere. without fail and they are so delicious.
I read this verse this morning and I loved it. so true. it is right when
Ammon is reflecting on the missionary work that he and his brothers have been
able to be a part of. Alma 26:35-37
"Now have we not reason to rejoice? Yea, I say unto you, there never were
men that had so great reason to rejoice as we, since the world began; yea, and
my joy is carried away, even unto boasting in my God; for he has all power, all
wisdom, and all understanding; he comprehendeth all things, and he is a merciful
Being, even unto salvation, to those who will repent and believe on his
name."
This just describes exactly how I feel. I could not have said it better
myself.
This area is beautiful! it reminds me a bit of Colorado. without
the amazing mountains of course. but it really is a nice place. and the ward is
good as well. it is predominately English and pretty small , but there are some
great families. Sister Larson is so funny. honestly hilarious. she should be a
comedian. She is from Utah and we could not be more opposite but we get
along brilliantly. She does not like sports one bit. she is a beautician, and
knows all things hair, make-up and nails. and she loves theatre and acting. we
are having a lot of fun together. she is having some health challenges. we have had to go to the
doctor and get some tests done, so I feel really bad for her having to deal with
this, but she has been feeling better lately so hopefully she will recover soon!
I am so excited to serve here and really get to know the members here and
serve them! I think that is going to be my focus this transfer -- service.
Serving my companion, serving the members, and the people here in Stevenage.
speaking of service, quick little miracle. we were in the library teaching
a member how to use the computer (such a cute lady from Ghana) and this
gentleman called me over and asked for my help on how to scan something. (I
think he thought I worked there) but I showed him how and we got talking
and started talking about my missionary work and everything and we ended up
calling over the member and Sister Larson and having a lesson right there about
the Book of Mormon and the Restoration. The more I learn about the Saviour, the
more I learn his way of teaching and going about His work was all centred on
serving others. It truly helps us have pure love for the people around us.
I hope you have a great week. I love you!!
Ps thank you so much Grandma and Grandpa Chipman; I got the card you sent
and loved it!
pps when I get home can we go to the dentist like straight away. it has
been way to long. I think we have good enough hook ups to work that out. ya?
