Howdy ho!  Yeah, this week has been HOT!  I got sunburned, have some attractive tan lines and I am loving it!  Sis.Benson drove us to Birmingham on Thursday and it was 84 degrees! Add on the humidity and it was quite warm.  The Elders were dying in there suits. Ha ha!  We gave our district leader and his companion a ride so it was like a 4 hour drive to Birmingham so we left at 7:15am and didn't get home till 10pm.  It was along day, but really good.  Elder Jensen was awesome and it was a good boost.  Yeah, we did see Jo and Brandon again, well, just Jo.  She has MS and is in a wheel chair, but she invited us in and we had a really good discussion.  Oh man, they are so ready for the gospel!  We tried to set an appointment, but she doesn't make appointments because her health is so up and down - that seems to be the case with loads of people.  But Sis. Benson and I have decided that maybe we'll just start showing up at t...

Hey hey hey!  Oh boy, the weather is getting better and better!  I only wore my coat about once this week and today I'm being bold enough to be out in short sleeves! Everyone comments on how tan I am and last night I had some members believing that I was half Mexican. Ha ha! But next time I need to tell them that my mom is the Mexican, because LeFevre isn't a very Spanish last name.  But I did get the boots last Wednesday and they are awesome! It is amazing the difference they make and they are especially nice for when we walk down muddy and wet roads.  Thank you SO much!  But now that it is getting warmer, I might not need them as much. Ha ha!  They'll still come in good use though.  We still haven't been able to go back and visit Brandon and Jo, but if our appointments fall through tonight we'll go pay them a visit.  If an appointment falls through we call it flogged.  So if Debbie (a less-active) cancels tonight we'll say that ...

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...

Good Morning!  My Welsh is coming along quite nicely. Ha ha! Maybe I'll learn how to say goodnight this coming week.  But they typically say Ta da or ta ra for goodbye, so I'll save that for the end of my email (:    This week was grand! I really love personal study time because I learn so much. To be honest, I've been having a hard time really loving missionary work, becuase it is exactly work. But I've had some really good learning experiences during my study time and I'm trying to be a better missionary everyday.  I know that the Lord loves this cold place and with His help I can learn to really love it as well (:  So I'm happy and doing great!    Today is a bank holiday (May day) and everything is closed so I only have a few minutes to email from a member's home.  We taught Aled yesterday and yes, he does pray and read the Book of Mormon everyday, but we discovered that he doesn't believe in the Atonement. Ha ha!  It was a...

The Sea! Only in England do the awards for the best restrooms - ha ha! Sister LeFevre, Elder Tonga and Sister Benson Oh boy!  It feels like forever since I last wrote.  But zone conference was AWESOME!  It was just what I needed to boost my spirits and help energize me for the work.  The western half of the mission was there so it was more than just our zone.  President and Sister Odgen gave away jars of Nutella and Skippy Peanut Butter for prizes for the cleanest flat awards. Ha ha!  And guess who won?  That's right, Sister Benson and I. Ha ha!  Nutella is SO big over here.  Everyone eats it all the time and on everything.  I was sent to England for a reason (:  And then you can only get Skippt PB from Costco, so it is highly valued as well.  We each got to pick a jar, so our flat is well stocked now. Ha ha! But President Odgen and his wife are amazing!  Everything that was said in zone conference was j...

Just a note for everyone reading this blog.  Lindsey does not update her blog as she is on her mission.  She has a brave person with almost no blogging skills posting her emails and pictures.   Yep, it's just her mom.  :)  Happy reading!
