Week 58 (1 year, 6 weeks) 


Christmas, two transfers and plus one whole year. 


Hello everybody! Hope you are all well. Your girl here in London is still teaching and happy! 

These last couple months I have taught a lot of people that live in the Philippines. As Visitors Center sisters we teach people and then refer them to their local missionaries and it's great to see how much the Book of Mormon can make such a big difference in someone life. 

A couple weeks ago one of my good friends, Rodgers from Uganda, got baptized! We had been teaching him throughout lockdown and seeing him finally be able to make these special covenants made us want to shout glory to God! Which we did;) and I hope all of us will keep doing! 

I was told once that the Missionaries you serve around especially your companions will become your best friends for life and that was never more of a reality then when I got called out of Hyde Park 1 Ward and into London North to be in a trio with two of my past companions Sister Kleinert and Johnson!! 

During my mission I have had the opportunity to meet so many wonderful people that can not all be named right now but for the sake those who are curious about my companions and the areas that I've served in I will list them.

I have survived in 4 areas in the last year: 
White Chaple VC area 
(Central London) with:
#1 Sister Tuioné》 from Australia 
And 
#2 Sister Howell's 》 from Wales 
Hyde Park VC area
(West London) with:
#3 Sister Li 》 from  China Twice!! 
And 
#4 Sister Kleinert 》from Germany 
And 
#5 Sister Waterböhr 》from Germany 
And 
#6 Sister from Challenor 》 from Leicester England (near Birmingham)
Bracknell and Farnborough, Not VC, area 
(Southwest of London and almost directly south of Oxford) with:
#7 Sister Johnson from Switzerland 
Back to Hyde Park VC area  with: 
#8 Sister Li 
And now in London North VC area
(Most of northwest of London)
In a trio with Sister Johnson and Sister Kleinert as I wait for my new companion Sister Ahumada 》 from Spain! 

I am learning so many things but more importantly I have come to know many amazing people. Relationships are one of the things we will take from this life along with the knowledge and personal development we gain. 
One of my very favorite people said this to me and I never forgot it. 

"People may forget what you said, people may forget what you did, but people will NEVER forget how you made them feel." That's so true! And Jesus Christ was the ultimate example of this. 

He has asked us to Come to Him and to do even as He did, and He went about doing good and sharing kindness to all. My relationship with him has blessed me and those I teach more than I can say. 

Let us all keep putting our best foot forward, even when it is hard and help people to feel they can do the same. There are those who need you. I know that He's there and the relationships we are building now can last for eternity.

Prayer has helped and what we call CPR: Chruch, Prayer and Reading (Scripture Study). 

If you need or you know anyone who needs a message of hope or wants to learn more about Jesus Christ and his love for you, send me an email: 

Love you all! Thanks for you kindness and good example.

Week 17: Rainbows & Prayers

May 4th 2020 Week 17: Rainbows & Prayers Hello family This week I hit 4 months on the mission! Wow!  In some ways I feel like it's been a life time and in others ways has flown by. I think I've learned more about the gospel these past 4 months than I have throughout my entire life. It's been crazy and I've loved every second! We had some really incredible lessons this week, hearts being softened and allowing the savior to enter. It is such a privilege to share the message of the atonement and then to watch it work in people's lives. There is nothing more powerful or meaningful and I am so grateful that I get to be out here sharing the love! London rain is back!! and this was not just any rain, we got poured on and drenched and to the bone!! But we enjoyed it.  We had a fanatic lesson with Phumlani, my friend from Africa. He was wondering if God really heard his prayers because sometimes he didn't feel like it. He felt like He had gone too far and couldn'

Week 34: "Come again??" and Spiritual Gifts

August 31st Week 34: "Come again??" and Spiritual Gifts   Well Hello Family!  Transfers!! We will get to the transfer calls later. This week we had our FIRST Sunday service at the chapel! Have you started? It was so nice to meet some of the members face to face and bring some of our friends that we are teaching. It's so crazy to think that 30 people is referred to as a big crowd. Haha, yeah... we don't get out much ; ) Speaking of, online work has been fantastic! We just invited our friend Rodgers from Uganda to be baptised and he said YES!! Then he said "I was wondering when you were going to ask me, what took you so long?" It's amazing how people come alive when they hear the gospel, it makes such a big difference in people's lives. Funny fact. When the connection is really bad in Africa and we can't hear them very well, all we hear from the phone is "Come again". They also say please after everything. Ex "Thank you so so much pl

Week 75: Hello From London

June 14th 2021 Week 75 Hello from London England Since I last wrote I have had two companions, Sister Milone from France, and now I have been transferred to a new area and my companion is Sister Rodriguez from Spain. I am back in Hyde Park and I love it. In the last few weeks we’ve been able to see many of the sights of London: the Natural History Museum, Piccadilly Square, Big Ben, China Town, and The London Eye. Although we enjoyed ourselves, the greatest highlight of the last little bit has been being able to street contact again! As a mission, after being in lock down for 16 months, we can now contact people on the street. We call it “Hiya time” where we just say hello to people, we ask them questions about their day and hold our books of mormon. This disarms most Londoners because they don’t typically say hello to strangers.  One day we had prayed specifically to find one person who needed God that day. We had half an hour and as we made our way up to Hyde park we found a man name
