February 15th 2021 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 ...

  September 29th 2020 Week 38 ~Transferred to Bracknell ~ 7 and a half months and they're shipping me out!  Hello everyone. To counter the over exaggerated statement above, "they" are not shipping me out. The Lord is sending me where he needs me. I'M GETTING TRANSFERRED OUTBOUND! If there is one thing I have learned while out on the mission it's that Heavenly Father is in charge and that brings enormous peace to me. It can for you too! Take a minute and think about why God needs you to be in the place that you are, with the people the are around you. If you feel that you are not where God wants you to be think about what steps you need to take to find out how to get there. I promise that as you do this you will find the  peace  that our Savior Jesus Christ speaks about in John 14:27  I'm headed to a place called Bracknell. It's about an hour and a half west of central London and an hour southeast of Oxford England  I'll be sad the leave sister Challeno...

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...

August 4th 2020 Week 30: New Companion, Baptisms, Family, & 6 Months Out! It's been a LONG time since I posted... sorry. So much has happened, "let me esplain, no there's time, let me sum up."  I have had three visits from family members and 2 packages from home. My uncle Jesse (who is younger than me) came to visit my aunt Esther and uncle Daniel who lives in Liverpool. They came and had lunch with me twice. It was so wonderful to see them. Then my Tanner family, who is currently living in Denmark, came to England and I was able to visit with them as well. It was so rejuvenating to see people that I love so much, pass words of encouragement and love and share our testimonies of this great gospel with each other.  I lost my flat companion Sister Perrin in an emergency transfer. There were tears, but I know we will see each other again since she lives in Idaho. She has taught me so much about how to be a good missionary. Then I lost the other two of our foursome. N...
