Just another group email

So we had many miracles this week! But first off, on Wednesday we

traveled by train to Birmingham for the training meeting! And I was

reunited with sister Gjevik, and it was so fun! My mission president

is amazing and is so intelligent, and his wife is the sweetest. It was

a great meeting!

A member from our ward called us and asked us to help her garden her

neighbours yard. Her neighbour has two jobs and is going through a

hard time, so she thought it would be helpful! When we started the

neighbour wasn't home yet, so we were about half way done pulling

weeds when she got there. She got out of the car and teared up when

she saw what we were doing, and she opened up to us about the things

she's been going through. Short story short, she wants to quit smoking

and we're going to help her! So amazing.

It's been really foggy here, to the point where you can't see anything

ahead of you! It's insane! And we're back on bikes, so that's fun.

People don't really celebrate Halloween here, so that wasn't too big.

But people have been doing fireworks for the past week, nonstop ALL

NIGHT. And the fireworks here sound like gun shots, so I jump

everytime...

Bonfire night is this week, which I've heard is bigger than the 4th of

July! It's when they celebrate London not getting bombed by Guy Fox,

so part of it is they burn a little doll in the fire, and then do

fireworks. They always say "remember remember the fifth of November"

Weird.

We have been volunteering for church at the bus station selling

poppies for the poppy appeal, which is really big here! And we're

going to start handing out family history cards as well to see if we

can help anyone with theirs!

It's going to be a really busy week, and it's sister Ronspies last

week on her mission :( so we're going to help her go out with a bang!

Love you all, have an amazing week!

Our investigator Carlos made us take like 50 photos before he liked one. So funny.
