Heyo everyone I hope you are doing well! I am headed into my final week of the mission. I can't believe it. 2 years pass and I've learned so much. I'm excited to be home but also going to miss the time I've had in England. Its going to be a great final week I can feel it.  This past week went well. We had a few lessons cancel, but had some great opportunities to serve, teach, and find. We also had a few meetings. We had a great lesson with our friend Jasmine and we taught her the restoration. She told us at the end that that lesson she understood the most. Now with her we are focusing on her gaining a faith in Jesus Christ and gaining a witness that the Book of Mormon is true. Spiritual things take time and its sad that I won't see her progress in person, but I have a good hope that she will gain her witness of the truth and have a desire to be baptised. We also had a crazy experience this week. We got a response from a service ad a while back and they needed some h...

Wow this week was great I enjoyed it! Hope you all are doing well and had a good week. This week was full of exchanges, studies, and service.  So to start off the week we went to a place called Bradford to have exchanges with the missionaries there. We did some service, had some lessons, and also got to eat some German kebab which was really good. Elder Menzel liked it but wasn't as good as the good old German kebab back home.  On Wednesday we met with the Leeds Stake Missionaries and the Huddersfield Stake Missionaries for stake studies as well as interviews with President and Sister Green. It was so good to meet in person again and we got to discuss lots of good things in our study. We continued the "journey" theme from zone conference and played a blindfold activity. We had one missionary blindfolded and their companion had to guide them to the otherside of the room without touching the obstacles in the way. We were making noise and trying to be a distraction. We compa...

Hey everyone hope you've had a great week! These past 2 weeks have some lows but also some highs.  So, to start with the lows 2 weeks ago Elder Dupré and I had covid so we were stuck inside our flat the whole week. It was the worst! I had lost my sense of taste and smell and I was so tired. We managed to have lessons every day, but it sucked being tired and achy! We were able to get over it thankfully and Elder Menzel, our new companion was able to come. For those who don't remember Elder Menzel is someone I trained a year ago. It will be a fun time to be with him again for my last ride. This past week we did a lot of planning and preparing for zone conference. We focused on Baptism and Confirmation. We created a theme/analogy to help us teach. We compared it to a journey or adventure we go on. We gave them 4 options to choose from (The grand canyon, Amazon Jungle, Yorkshire Dales, or Tahiti) and they chose Tahiti. We asked them to grab a backpack and come on the journey with u...
