Westcotes!

Family!! 

Firstly, I was just transferred to..... Westcotes B! Our area covers 1/8 of the city of Leicester, and the ward boundaries are 1/4 of the city of Leciester. My new companion is Sister Curtis. She is in the same MTC group as me, so we already kind of know each other! Also, we are Re-opening the area so we're both brand-new to the area and the ward. The area had been closed for about 4 weeks. Needless to say, its been a fun but faith-building adventure for the last 5 days here! 

We've been out finding pretty much all day everyday, and I've been really enjoying it. We've met some really cool people and have been able to teach and testify. We're looking forward to this upcoming week. Hopefully we'll see some new investigators this week as a result of our finding efforts and faith :) 

Our flat is really cute and nice and we have been finding our way around pretty well with the help of our trusted map. We've already seen many evidences of the Lord's hand helping us in the work here. He is definitely mindful of us and this area. Leicester is a lot more diverse than Swindon was, which I am loving! Its fun to be a missionary in a bigger city. 

Leaving Swindon was hard, but good. The people and the ward are amazing and I know they will continue to do great things with the missionaries there :) I learned so much in Swindon. I had hard times and good times there and in the end, I know that I am a better person because of it.

This week, as we have had to chance to focus on the Savior and his resurrection I have have felt the spirit testify to me once again that Jesus is the Christ. That he did overcome death and sin, and that He Lives!!!! It truly is amazing. His atonement is something that I don't understand perfectly, but I know that it is real. I am grateful to be serving Him right now. It is such a blessing! 

Love you, hope all is well at home!

 All of the food that the ward gave us, how sweet are they?! And let me say... we really needed that food. We're pretty much out of funds until we get reimbursements in!

My burst tire/tube (which I fixed all by myself I might add, I've learned a thing or 2 about bikes in the last few months :P )

  English people don't do the plastic Easter egg thing, they've never even heard of them. BUT they do do this: chocolate Easter eggs with candies in them. A family gave them to us on Sunday, so sweet!

This is a picture of our front door. England has really cute, colourful front doors! More pictures of the flat to come.
