Week 33

Well after a fun week of being with Sister Chen we went to the mission
home  on tuesday and picked up our new missionary's! The process was so
mean we didn't find out till the very end who our companions are so we
awkwardly ate lunch all of us together and then had a long meeting and
then after all that they finally called us all up to meet each other
and of course we were the very last people to find out but then
Finally they called up Sister James and said her Trainer was Sister
Brown!

It has honestly been a blast ever since, Sister James is from Nevada
and she is such a cutie and so much fun. We have been together for 7
days now and it feels like we've been companions for a month. It's
been really fun to show her English stuff and make her eat Marmite and
other English foods haha. We've seen so many miracles the past week
which is really great we have been able to turn a lot of people we've
met into Investigators which is so great and we've met a lot of new
faces so that's been great as well.

I love being with a greenie it's so true they just have this greenie
fire and it's easy to catch so we are gonna have an amazing summer
together I think and see so many miracles happen. President told us we
need to make sure we are the ones fanning the fire not extinguishing
it. So I'm definitely trying to just make everything awesome even
awkward Missionary moments haha.

This week the poppies exploded so there are now fields that are red
and covered with poppies it's seriously so cool.

So on sister James very first day we went to a members home and the
member told her that her favourite food is marmite when she's pregnant
so naturally sister James said she'd never tried it before so the
member got some bread and marmite for her to try, thankfuly she didn't
through up she just made a coughing noise as she chewed and swallowed
it haha.

Any way life is wonderful, I love being a missionary and I love my greenie!

Week 32

This week has been a party with Sister Chen, we worked hard we played
hard and we slept even harder.

This week was super hot and humid in Boston it's been about 32 which
feels a bit extreme especially because the people here don't have air
conditioners like no where so every where is just super hot. The
members have said it's not really normal for this kinda heat so we are
just soaking up the rays until it's starts raining heaps again.

So you've probably heard me mention Chavs before right? Well
traditionally the Chav wears a Adidas track suit all the time... all
the time! But guess what happens to Chavs when it gets hot outside?
They shed the layers and walk around in nothing! (Well they have pants
on but that's it) So sister Chen and I took turns shielding our eye
balls from there nakedness except a couple times it got interesting
while driving haha.

One night this week we're making diner and I noticed there was a swarm
of ants attacking our wall it was crazy the wall was black and they
were coming up from under the carpet so Sister Chen and I attacked
right back with the vacuum. We now have ant traps and spray so we're
set.

This week we also did some finding in Skegness so of course we stopped
so sister Chen could see the North Sea.

I've come to realize that England has two flower growing season first
in May with all the tulips and daffodils and the second June which is
bringing amazing roses and Poppy's! Sad to say I'd never seen a real
poppy before just the plastic ones we pin in November so when I saw
them from the car I freaked out and made us stop and look at them.

This week we got fed so much Sister Chen hadn't been fed like this
before on her mission so it was cool to help her feel loved by the
members here in Boston. I'm so happy to be here still and I'm so
pumped to show my girl the area and what mission life is like.

I pick up my greeny from the mission home and I tried to plan a
busy but fun week for her so I'm excited to help her love missionary
work!

Week 31

This week was really good,  Our investigator was baptized this week on
Saturday it was so awesome his Dad and brother came to the baptism to
support him we had lots of members and missionaries who came out as
well so it was good.On sunday he was confirmed and made a member of
the church. It was funny because the font hasn't been used for a while
so when they filled it we realized some how it wasn't filling up
higher then to just above the knee caps. So the member who baptized
our Investigator had his work cut out for him. But he killed it and
pile drived our investigator to the floor so everything was submerged
under the water which was great that he did that only once haha our
Investigator looked a bit concerned before he went under the water
that he might get hurt but afterwards he was good to go haha.

So I got my dodge call and I'm staying in Boston!! Woot
woot! My companions are leaving Sister Alayon is going to
Kidderminster which is in Birmingham and Sister Osele is going to
Blackwood which is in Wales. My greenie doesn't get out of the mtc
until the 20th so Sister Chen is gonna stay with me for a week while
we wait for our babies! I'm so pumped sister Chen and I were in the
mtc together so it will be so fun to have her in Boston we are
basically going to party for the next week to prep for the next 2
transfers with our babies haha.

So ya life is wonderful, I'm so excited to be in Boston for 2 more
transfers and I'm so excited to continue the progression here in
Boston.

Week 30

This week I went to the mission home in Birmingham to go to my
trainers meeting it was so fun to see so many people from my group and
be able to train with them. We are all pretty excited and all a bit
nervous cause we've been in our areas for two transfers so we're all
thinking we are gonna white wash train! I gotta see my MTC comp
Sister Romero which was so awesome I love that women.

So we've been doing lots with our Investigator this week on Friday
night we got a bunch of Elders to come down to Boston for games night
to help fellowship and we played werewolf needless to say my District
is now addicted to it and we've been playing none stop now whenever we
get the chance. It was so nice for our Investigator to be able to meet
more members that are closer to his age so we are pretty excited.

So I thought I was almost done with having to Adult but I was so wrong
literally the day I got our car back we got a flat tire! So sad! So I
had to pull my big girl pants on again and had to deal with the flat
tire so nothing but fun times in the car lately but this could be my
last week in the car so I'm gonna try not to complain to much and just
enjoy my air conditioning while I can.

We've been working really hard to get Boston to be doing better so
we've been finding, bringing people to church and doing less active
work and we've been able to see some of the fruits of our labours.
I've been saying good bye to members before I go just in case and on
Sunday I said good bye to a husband and wife that I've been working
with since the first week I got here I Love them so much they hadn't
been back to church for twenty years and now they are making plans to
get sealed in a year. I love them so much.

This is the last week we have all together as a trio it's really sad
because I really love serving with them and it's a bit sad knowing my
dodge already but I am excited for change and I think it will be
interesting to be with someone at the very beginning of there mission
so I'm excited to see the difference cause I literally feel like it's
been 7 weeks sometimes not 7 months.
