Go Baptize!

At the end of the week there is always hope.  But really though.  Hahahhahahha. I LOVE PUNS.  Hope is a new investigator this week! In fact you could say, we are focusing on hope. Hehe.  Hope is awesome!! He is from Nigeria and was taught the lessons a year ago but somehow skipped the baptism portion. So we will work on that now. He is way cool. We asked him if he believed in God and his response, well, my name is Hope so....uh  yes .  Oh Hope, I can tell we are gonna be good friends.  BIG NEWS NEW COMPANION Welcome to the mission field...SISTER BROWN!  Sister Brown is from Chorley England (right next door to the Preston temple by Manchester) (yessssss finally going to get that British accent. Or the loud American is going to rub off on her...I sure hope not).  She is way cool!!! This is her first area--wowza--and she's already rocking it. Poor girl had to go to the Provo MTC because the Preston MTC w...

We saw the queen!  She's wearing the white hat with blue ribbon. stairs! Hahah made it in London. It was so so so fun to see you all on Sunday!!!! I loved it. I just wish it was longer! So fun to see you all. I feel like there are so many more things I wanted to say! Here's a few things I forgot to mention....and sorry I feel like I'm talking about myself a lot... 1. First off...NEW COMPANION. And guess what. I actually don't know who it is. Because....she is a brand new missionary. Yep I'm training. Oh no.

So my companion and I will figure this out tomorrow! This will be hard and crazy. 2. I had to translate stake conference that morning to a deaf member, Shafait.  She was super kind cuz I forgot half the signs. 3. Elder Oaks is coming to speak to the mission ...

Well. It has already been 3 months since the beginning of the mission. What is going on. Time. Time is going on. And it is flying innit? hello everyone!! It's May? What the. I have to tell you the strangest thing ever is putting someone on date to be baptized in June. We are already planning to June? That's nuts. Oh my goodness speaking of baptisms...EMILIA! Happy day in Zion Emilia Filipa Dunguigue entered the waters of baptism April 30th at precisely 11:53 (because all convert baptisms start late). And she could not be happier!! Although my companion and the ward were pretty happy too :). Emilia is amazing and I'm gonna tell you why she is! Here is part of her story...(ps sister Cummings if I butcher this...my bad)and even though I already told you some of it it's fine... Sister Cummings (my fantastic late companion) and Sister Hibbard (awesome missionary here before me) got to open this area for sisters about 5 months ago (white washing--things you would never ...
