***If you're reading this, you should write Sister Roscher a Birthday letter! Her address is to the left, and she would love to hear from you!*** Now for the weekly update:
The title of this email is fitting because
England is being washed away!!! There has been massive flooding all over
England because of a record high amount of rainfall. Swindon has (luckily) been spared for the most part. Instead,
we've just been facing constant downpour, gusts of wind and wet feet :)
But other places, such as Cornwall, have really been hit hard, and are
practically under water (or so they say).
This week has been a week of learning, evaluating and acting.
We've met some pretty cool people and we've had some funny experiences
(such as running through a flooded subway to get to a dinner
appointment). We got to paint our investigator S4's kitchen fire
engine red and that was pretty fun!! Its always nice to mix it up during
the week with service. I love painting.
Monday
was Zone P-day so we trained to Cheltenam. The Zone leaders did a great
job planning it. We played football (district v. district), did a Preach My Gospel
challenge, fed our companions cereal in a relay, and had to come up with a
music video to the song "Ye Elders of Israel." My favorite part was the
cereal challenge because Sister Appleby and I owned it. We were the
first Sisters finished (because we both know how to EAT haha). The music video was
pretty funny to watch, but embarrassing to be a part of haha. P.S. Cheltenam
is a really pretty town.
The most exciting part of the week was M and J. J is
M's 16 yr. old son, and he is such a good kid. Getting him involved in the youth program is going to be the best thing ever; it is going to CHANGE his
life. Literally. We had a first lesson with them yesterday, and it was a
real miracle.
This week we found out the Jose A. Teixeira will be touring our
mission in March, so we will have Zone conference with him the week of
March 18. That is something to look forward to.
Also...
my claim to fame. One of the villages surrounding Swindon is
Marlborough. We went out there a couple of times to contact a referral
and then we had a dinner appointment out there
on Sunday
with this amazing family, and can I just say, I LOVE IT?? It is where
Kate Middleton went to school, at a really fancy boarding school.
It has the cutest high street, and a beautiful country feel. Man. I die and go to Heaven every time I go there.
Now for some pictures:
This is a street sign in Marlborough.Looks very English, huh?
This is a picture of a flooded Subway. Needless to say, my feet were pretty wet after we made it through!
My poor boots. They've seen better days...
Love you all!
