So Monday was P-day and we did our normal P-day activities and then we taught a lesson to a recent convert at the chapel and had to hurry to the train station because...
Tuesday we had exchanges! So they've changed exchanges where instead of one missionary switching areas with another one, both companionships work the area of the STL. So I worked with Sister Blair, who is our STL and then Sister Sovala went with Sister Huang and we both taught and tracted in Sheffield. We street contacted so much! Sister Blair loves talking to people and basically following them when they walk away, it was really funny and I wish I was that bold with my finding! I guess I'll get there eventually though... Then we taught a lesson with a recent convert and he mainly just talked the whole time and we got about five minutes in with him but it was a great five minutes! Then we caught the train back and did finding in our area until 9.
Wednesday we tried to teach that family, but the mom said her kid wasn't interested which we now know is a lie because we saw them yesterday and he was mad we never stopped by. Oh well...the Zone Leaders want to try now so we'll see how that goes! So we taught John outside his house and then went to the Czech house to teach her. We are going to let the Slovak elders teach her which is so sad because she is so awesome! but we had a hard time communicating Gospel topics with her due to the language barrier...Then we went back to the Chapel and met up with Pam so we could teach a man named Ali and then a lady named Galina. They're both so super nice and we had a great time talking to them. We went home after that and then caught the train back to Sheffield to spend the night. All the sisters in the zone were there, so there were 8 of us in one flat (apartment) and that was so crowded! but it was good.
Thursday we woke up at like 4:30 and got on a charter bus to go to Leeds where we spent all day at Zone Conference. Zone Conference was great, but long! To save time, I'll just leave it at that since I already sent an email about Zone Conference. Anyways, we got back to our flat around 10:20 that night so it was LONG!
Friday we had a lot of meetings but a lot of miracles! So we got a new phone on Thursday and unfortunately didn't write all the numbers we needed, but we thought we did! So we lost Ali's number. We'll who would be on the same bus we were catching!? Ali! So we got his number again and set up a return appointment with him! Then we had Branch Correlation and then a lesson with John about baptism and the Holy Ghost. Then we had tea (dinner) with a member and got caught in the rain and were drenched! It was OK though because we were obedient and left exactly an hour after we got there and barely caught the bus so we didn't get too drenched on the way home! We then knocked a few doors and a former investigator decided to let us in and wants us to come back! She was on her way out so we barely caught her!
Saturday was a little disappointing at first because all of our lessons fell through. We found out it was the Queen's Birthday, so Happy Birthday to the Queen of England! and it was also my official one month as a missionary!!! We celebrated by doing a lot of street contacting and found some people who seem really prepared, so we're really excited to see them next week! We had another tea appointment with a member and then went to teach a lesson with Pam and her family about the Priesthood. Oh and then Sister Sovala bought me a chocolate bar since I'm a month old now ;)
Sunday was pretty good. I played the piano for the branch in Sacrament Meeting and that was interesting to say the least. And then we went to see John because he didn't show up to church again and then we met up with Pam and had a lesson with her about missionary work because she's feeling really discouraged that she's coming out with us everyday and nobody is showing up to church after they promise. She's so great, isn't she!? We just love her to pieces and hope she can remember why she's coming out with us in the first place! Because she loves Jesus Christ and wants to help others feel that love as well! Then we had a lesson outside with a man named Graham. It started raining just as we were finishing up, but I had my umbrella this time, so we were mostly OK! then we ran home and dried off.
I love you all and know that if you continue to look for God's many miracles, you'll find them! I've started writing down at least one instance where I saw the Hand of the Lord in my life that day as part of my journaling and it has been so wonderful! He really is all around and I know this is His work we are doing. Continue doing great things and I know the Lord will bless you! Thanks again for all your love, and support. I truly can feel all the prayers!
Sister Hope
