Hello!

 It is a warm and sunny day in Wales (: I almost want to go knocking on doors just because it is so nice out there.  It's been getting warmer and I've adjusted better so I'm not completely freezing.  Yesterday was sunny, but the wind was blowing, so it was actually freezing.  Yesterday was a good day.  We went to go follow up on a potential we met in Croesyllan, a lady named Jo who has MS and is in a wheel chair.  We went to her house and met her partner outside cleaning the car.  He said she wasn't feeling good today, so we talked to him and it was awesome!  His name is Brandon and has just recently (within the last 6 years) turned his life around and has turned to the scriptures to become a better person. We pretty much taught him the Restoration and we left him with a BoM and a chapter in 3 N to read.  He seemed so prepared for us and I can hardly wait to see him again.

Transfers are today, but Sister Benson and I get 6 more weeks together in Newcastle Emlyn.  We'll have a new district leader and this coming Sunday we're having a 5 ward meeting down in Swansea and we're guessing that theywill be rearranging some ward boundaries.  There is an area just south east of us called Carmarthen and they are just a branch and don't have any missionaries.  Rumor has it that they're splitting up the branch and putting a senior couple there.  So our area might just get even bigger!  It's exciting because maybe there are loads of people waiting for us, but at the same time we have even more to cover and our miles are going to go up, but it'll be fun (:
  Driving in Wales is crazy when you drive on roads like this!

Well, there's not much new news since I just talked to you guys the other day, so I'll attach a lot of pictures (:  And I love you all and hope that your week is just grand!

Comm. 150 Journal

Gee whiz, it has been several years since I personally posted anything on this blog.  I don't even know if anyone evens looks at it, but hey, that's okay. I am starting my 8th semester of university and I am taking a class where I have to keep a daily journal.  I just have to write about something that happened to me that day. I've started it on a Word document, but I had the thought that I could keep on here and share unique experiences that happen in my crazy life. So here are the ones I have done for this week so far: Comm 150 journal: Day 1: Monday, 15 Sept. 2014 When I was in my first area on my mission, Newcastle Emlyn in Wales, I had this funny zone leader named Elder Hopkinson. He was from Leeds and had a great accent. Every time he called he would always ask what the craziest thing was that had happened to us that day.  I remember feeling dumb if I didn’t have a wild story to tell him, but from then on I tried to make every day of my mission be a...

When it Rains it Pours

Day 4: Thursday, 18 September 2014 Today was my first day going to my Digital Imaging class, taught by Sis. Caryn Esplin.  I am so excited for this class. The homework is just going to be fun stuff!  I took a class last winter from Sister Esplin and she is amazing! She is my career role model. I want to be just like her some day!  When I took her class in the winter, I received several awards from her because she liked my work so well.  Today, I again impressed her as I was able to recite back every person’s name back after we all introduced ourselves. There were only about 27 kids in the class so it was easy. I just have a good memory. So I won the Bright Idea award (a light bulb jar filled with M&Ms).  Anyways, about an hour after class, Sister Esplin called me and asked me if I would like to be her TA for one of her classes! She thought I did really well in the winter and thought I would make an excellent TA.  This is the 9 th job of...

I headed to school this morning at 7:45am. I wasn't sure what the temperature was, but I realized it was in the negatives when I could feel my boogers freezing in my nose. I know it sounds gross, but you literally can feel your nose hairs become stiff as the moisture in your nose begins to freeze. It's quite the sensation. So I have my hood up to keep my ears and face warmer and there is a slight breeze, which makes it even colder! I had only been walking about 3 minutes when I noticed that the ends of my hair to my left was looking really white. As I looked closer, I realized that frost was collecting on my hair! I'm not quite sure why this happened. I had straightened my hair today, so it more dry than wet. The only thing I can think of, is that the moisture from my breath must have been collecting on the ends of my hair closest to my face. By the time I got to class I probably looked like a rendition of the White Witch with my frosted white hair. Oh the joys of Re...
