Wow hey this week I hit my 4 month mark!!! So weird. Time flies when you're having fun I guess.
This week was pretty amazing! I had the chance to go to zone conference again! My 3rd one! I only have 2 weeks in this transferš£ That is so weird. Sorry back to zone conference. Yeah it was great. I really love going to it every time because I get so spiritually pumped up for the rest of the transfer. Something that really stuck out to me is just how powerful the scriptures are in teaching. I can try to be as persuasive as I want, but the scriptures will bring the spirit and understanding far better than anything I could ever say. My mission president issued a challenge for us to read the entire book of Mormon in the month if May and it has substantially increased my testimony in the truthfulness if it. I have learned that I don't want to be a persuasive speaker but an effective teacher.(That rhymed)
We had a lesson with Lynn this week and it was pretty great. We went over to a members house and we taught her about how she was a child of God and she has a Heavenly Father who knows and loves her. She says that she didn't know she was a child of God but I just knew that this wasn't unfamiliar to her. The spirit was so strong in the room it was incredible. I really felt like we should have asked her to be baptized right then, but we didn't... I really wish we did though. We are taking her to an event this week in Manchester. The Nashville Tribute Band is playing. So we are really excited about that as well. She also came to church thus Sunday and it was so good. They talked about Heavenly Father and the Holy Ghost a lot which was PRETTY GOOD!!!
Sooo, a tiny thought about some of the food here. So far I've raved about the yummy stuff, but you don't know how jealous I am of the tacos you have in the Americas. The Mexican food here is..... non-existent. So sad. I cry whenever I think of it. I Hey, guess what!?? I did not lose anything this week! Except I did get lost on the way to a tea appointment... But we did get SMARTPHONES!!! It's super weird having one though and all the missionaries look like ignorant teenagers whenever they are on it. One sister I was on exchanges with actually tried to disguise it with a book of Mormon haha. will have no tolerance for spicy food when I go home.
And we had exchanges this week! They were so good, we had so much fun! We were walking to our tea appointment when there was this family outside of a pizza place that just came up and started talking to us. The dad was just sitting in his car watching us so I walked over and was just talking to him outside of his car, which was sort of awkward. But we got that family to go to a temple tour! So hey!

We had a pretty good p-day today! We just went to a park and played on the basketball court haha. We also had a picnic which was pretty great.
So we visited Victoria Elizabeth this week as well and her daughter is interested in learning more!!! They are so good and Victoria said that if we got to Ramsbottom this weekend she will give us free food. Its this big 1940s weekend there and there are going to be airplanes flying over and everyone is going to be dressed up. Lots of pictures next week.
Anyways love you lots and hope you have a fantastic week! Remember that God's loves you and wants to speak to you!
