Life Across the Pond: Where Did Sister Roscher Go?

This week honestly flew by. My new area is Lincoln (look it up on a map). It's got a decent size ward and a University. It's not really a city, more of a town, but it's classed as a city because it has 3 famous things: a castle, Lincoln Catherdral (its massive and beautiful, google it) and one of the copies of the magna carta or something cool like that. It reminds me a lot of Swindon. So far, I've really liked what I've seen, it's a good little area.

Leaving Westcoates was hard. I really loved it!! I have made lasting friendships there that will not go away anytime soon. It will always remain a happy and blessed place in my mind. Saying good bye to our investigators was hard too, they're so close!!! But, they're in good hands.

My new companion, it Sister Mohr. She's been out 4 months and is from Germany. Her English is really good though. She's great!

The great news is, Lincoln has been really good for my lungs. It's flat and better air quality. Biking is a breeze!

This week I've learned many things (which I am very grateful for, I might add) but a couple of the things which have stood out to me are. It is a great gift to have the Holy ghost be our constant companion, and a great blessing and privilege to be serving as a missionary. Peace that comes from complete submission to the will of the Father is also a great blessing.

"The Lord promises that if we keep our covenants, we will always have His Spirit to be with us. A person guided by the Spirit will have the knowledge, faith, power, and righteousness to gain eternal life." This is an excerpt from the gospel principles manual, chapter 23. This 'hit home.' With the spirit guiding and directing us in our lives, it becomes possible to attain eternal life because he will direct us to achieve and do those things which we need to. President Rasmussen always says that the Holy Ghost is the member of the Godhead that we have the most contact with.

I am so grateful to be a missionary. It has blessed my life so much and completely changed the person I am and want to become.

Sorry this is so short, there's not a whole lot to update you on, other then the changing areas thing...
