Happy New Year!

Well, this week was pretty crazy. I said good-bye to Sister Forbes. My new companion is Sister Appleby from Brisbane, Australia. She has been out since June 20th, so one transfer less then me. She's a really cool sister, and she's got an aussie accent!
 
This week was new years and it felt really weird... its doesn't really feel like a new year, mostly because mission life pretty much stays the same. The weather has been pretty intense, but that is why I wear lots of layers.

This Sunday in our ward we got a new bishop, so that was pretty exciting. As a missionary, I think its great when you get a new bishop with some fresh enthusiasm! We have a wonderful ward here with some really incredible families that really exemplify what it is to be disciples of Jesus Christ.

Our washer and dryer have been broken for 2 and a half weeks, but good news! Its getting fixed tomorrow. Hooray! I learned that hand washing clothes is not a very enjoyable or effective way to clean clothes  ;)

On Wednesday I'll get my bicycle helmet from Harborne (the zone leaders are going to pass it off to each other) and then Sister Appleby and I will hop on our bikes. Its definitely the most efficient way to work in Swindon. I think I'm probably going to have a pretty fun week going up and down hills though... Hopefully I will lose the belly I have gained over the Christmas holiday!

Funny story, when Sister Appleby and I were training back to Swindon after dropping Sister Forbes off with the Zone leaders our train got detoured because of a landslide so we ended up going into the London South mission for about a half hour. That's how close I am to being out of the mission! It was pretty funny. I had a heart attack that we were on the wrong train haha but then I was assured by the train man that we were headed to Swindon it was just going to take longer.

This week we'll (hopefully) see some new investigators start popping up and get more settled in.

Love you all!
