This week was pretty incredible!!! We had this amazing ward party that was Harry Potter themed and they did amazing on it!!! Tons of people showed up as well!! So many returning members were present and members boroughs many of their friends. We brought a lot of our friends as well. Around 6 people we are teaching decided to come which was amazing! We were all sorted into our houses as well. I guess more people are bound to show when Harry Potter is mentioned haha.
Then, Sister Terry and I played piano at our bishop’s daughter’s baptism. Our friend Soul decided to come with his adorable son. Soul said he was only going to stay until the actual baptism portion because Manchester United was playing. But he ended up staying for the entire thing and he really liked it! He has actually been talking about his baptism as well. He says he doesn’t know this church is true yet but he does want to look into joining haha.
This preparation day we decided to come to Liverpool and we went to some pretty amazing places. I don’t know if I have mentioned primary but it is a magical place that is super cheap and has really cute clothes. In Liverpool it has 5 stories!!! It is the biggest one I have ever seen. We also went to the second largest cathedral in the world and another cathedral that looks like a spaceship. It was pretty amazing. Also we took pictures at the docks.
We also had zone conference this week wher I got to see my old MTC companion Sister Rasmussen! Funny enough Sister Terry was also companions with her haha. Pretty great stuff. So this zone conference our mission President had this object lesson where he had sand and really big rocks. Sister Terry had to fit all these big rocks into the sand without it overflowing and it was really hard. But when she put in the big rocks first then the sand could fit into all the cracks and it all would fit. The analogy was that if we put the Lord first then everything else will work out. The Lord’s promise to us is that when we make sure that he is first in our lives by making time for prayer, scripture study, and families, everything else will work out!
Love you all!!!!!
(mom note: Here's a little bonus from our personal email. We had some visiting friends over the weekend with precious England ties and we had an awesome discussion about their loves of all things English. So Sidney gave her two cents and also piped in about some of hers as well (below). Enjoy!
"That’s nice that you are thinking of me haha. England is pretty great. I do love it! The weather hasn’t even been that bad. Now it’s getting a bit nippy and the beginning of my mission was..... so cold. But the summer was apparently the best one they have had since the 1960s. So I can’t complain. Except all the British people said they couldn’t cope because they have never had the need for an AC before. Everyone here is obsessed with vegemite and marmite. I’ve never had it here yet but I have had pate. I think that’s what it is called. It’s this weird meat spread, it doesn’t taste that bad. I have had haggis, I actually like it. It’s just this weird stuffing. I can see it being banned in the USA😂 Just like crackers. Iron bull is delicious! It’s really Scottish. But you can get it anywhere. Also, I like the coke here, but if you see doctor pepper....🤢 It’s gross don’t get it. It’s watered down and disgusting. Yes! I have had frog in a hole. That’s like egg, pate, and bread... I think. It likes like a ball. It is quite good! Do you know what else is good!!! Roasted parsnips!!! They are delicious!! I love parsnips! Ooo and I want to learn how to make roasted potatoes with coconut oil, those are delicious! Things I have tasted recently? I have lots of Sunday roasts! We had Mexican food at a members home!! It was quite good. But I still do not get chilli with rice and why they think it is Mexican haha."
