We Be Smart--Phoned!! -- October 16, 2017

Dear Family and Friends,

This week has been pretty much the best week ever! Don't know why, but it feels like it :)

So Monday, we had a Zone PDay and then went on a blitz in Newcastle for the rest of the evening! And this time I was with Sister Tautkus!!! So that was such a great reunion and such a great evening! We walked around and did street contacting in town. Then we came back to the Newcastle flat to spend the night there.

Tuesday we woke up early and got ready for Zone Conference! It was so strange because this time when they called for the departing missionaries to bear their testimonies, I was called up! So that was weird, but it was ok! But yeah, it was a good Conference and we just got the bus home for the night afterwards. We got a lot of gifts from Zone Conference: smart phones and crock pots! We're gettin fancy over here!

Wednesday we didn't have district meeting because of Zone Conference, but we went and did some knocking and tried by a few formers and then had a lesson with Jay at a member’s house and taught him the Restoration! It was such a powerful lesson! We tried by a few more formers and then went to have tea with a family. Then afterwards we had our missionary coordination meeting before coming home

Thursday we saw Jay in the morning again and then travelled to the chapel because Emma was getting her Patriarchal Blessing and wanted us there to support her! Then we did some knocking by the chapel and then had companionship study at the chapel before heading to tea. We missed our bus back, so we talked to a bunch of people near the bus station and then came home!

Friday was a crazy day! We had a lesson with Jay in the morning again and then came home for lunch and comp study before heading out to do some knocking! We talked to a lot of college students and then had tea with Emma before going in to do our weekly planning! Since the nights are getting dark early, we got permission to do weekly planning in the evening for safety :) so that was fun!

Saturday was strange. We went to the Cattery and then we basically just walked around talking to people and knocking a bit because all our plans fell through last minute. But we met a lot of people! So that was good!

Sunday was such a spiritual day! We had Stake Conference in the morning and Jay came to the first part! Then afterwards, we had a quick lesson with him before knocking and lunch and then went back to Sunderland for a broadcast with Elder Ballard. Such a great broadcast! Then we had companionship Study and tea!

My Spiritual Thought for the week is from General Conference :) "every one of us aspires to a more Christlike life than we often succeed in living. If we admit that honestly and are trying to improve, we are not hypocrites; we are human."
-Elder Holland
There's so much in life to tell us we're not good enough, but our Heavenly Father wants us to know we just have to be perfect at trying :)

Hope you have a great week!
Sister Hope
