Greetings from England!  This week has been pretty sunny and not too rainy so I don't really have too much to complain about. It is hard to believe that it is getting to the end of January. I am happy to say that I am so happy, and Sister Appleby is seriously hilarious!

We had flat inspections this week, so we spent half of our p-day deep cleaning our flat. The senior couple that does our inspections is INTENSE. Let me say- our flat SHINED (and smelled like bleach and all other manner of cleaning chemicals!) It really did look good. I'll take pictures this week to send you.

We had Zone meeting on Tuesday so we trekked out to Gloucester and had a really good Zone meeting. I learned so much! It is always nice to get together as missionaries and learn more.

Wednesday night we went on exchange and guess who I was with?? SISTER MILLER!!! My trainer! It had been WAY too long since I actually got to spend time with her, and it was so refreshing. She's still a rockin missionary. Everytime I even see her my IQ goes up. She helps me learn so much about being a good missionary and the scriptures. LOVE HER! We laughed SO much and teaching and GQing with her felt so natural because we'd done it before. Except it was way better because we've both learned a lot in the 6 months since we've been companions.

Also, let me tell you about S4. She is so cool! We started teaching her a couple weeks ago, but it wasn't until this week that we really started to see her progress. We taught her the plan of Salvation after reviewing the Restoration with her. She felt the Spirit when she read through the Restoration pamphlet by herself and she really loved the plan of Salvation. She said it 'clicked' and it answered a lot of questions. She has researched a lot of churches, but she disagreed with certain things. We had a beautiful experience with her; she promised us she would pray this lesson because she wouldn't in the first, and we got to witness her praying for the first time EVER out loud. She wrote a beautiful prayer down that was just all gratitude, and she talked about how she felt peaceful when she read the Book of Mormon. S4 is really cool. We should be setting a baptismal date with her this week, so YAY!! and we held her pet snake while we were there. Crazy! He's a python and his name is 'monty' :P

Anyways, this week should be a good one!! I have a good feeling. Also, the book of Acts has the coolest missionaries EVER! If you ever feel like your life is hard, read about Paul.

The church is true, and God is mindful of us in all areas of our life. He knows what we need and He knows what we need to become!
