my new companions to come and then I picked them up at the train
station. And it's been nothing but snorts and giggles and cussing in
different languages ever since haha.
So my new companions are Sister Osele from Zurich Switzerland who has
been out for five months and Sister Alayon from Macau China who has
been out for three months. Between the two of them they speak English,
French, Tagalog, mandarin, Cantonese, Portuguese, German, Swiss-German
and Italian. And I'm over here barely able to speak English myself.
There favourite fraise to say is "Freaking" "English isn't my first
language!" and "Uhh?" Haha I seriously love them so much it has
seriously been such a party in this first week we have had together.
So car singing has been interesting because we have three different
languages singing along to like every Disney song or hymn or whatever
we're playing. The first time Sister Osele put in her Swiss-German
Music it was a bit late and I started singing along and she asked
"Sister what Language are you singing it in?" I'm over here like " oh
this isn't English.... I have no idea what I'm saying"
We went to a diner appointment and as we were all sitting around the
table and the Toddler was STARRING at Sister Alayon after about
fifteen minutes of this kid starring down sister Alayon she finally
leaned forward and said " what's wrong have you never seen an Asian
before??" Sister Osele and I and the parents literally peed our pants
and we're crying from laughter.
We went to an appointment this week and we're talking to this man who
proceeded to tell us how if he could talk to God he would explain to
him how he would have done things much better. Sister Osele proceeded
to tell him that she didn't like how he was speaking about Heavenly
Father later in that same conversation she told him that he is "lazy
and prideful" because he wasn't willing to do the simple work to find
out if God truly is there. FYI no body messes with God when Sister
Osele is in the room.
On Pday we went to Lincoln castle and the Cathedral it was so Gorgeous
and super cool to see everything and go on the castle walk we took a
billion photos. I'm finally out of a relief society district so we've
been doing lots of stuff with the Lincoln Elders which has been a lot
of fun!
We did some service for a member in our ward and we did some sewing so
I broke out my sewing skills for the first time in forever. Sister
Alayon had never used a sewing machine before so the member showed her
what to do, as she started instructing her on how to use the sewing
machine pedal the member said it's kinda like driving a car Sister
Alayon said but I can't drive! the member looked at her and said oh my
and didn't leave sister Alayons side again after that haha no trust.
Oh so I saw a Delorian... we were walking up to the cathedral and then
I started Freaking out because it's not every day you see one
especially when your in front of a cathedral in England and not in
California or Orlando. But then I felt kinda dumb cause I felt like I
was the only one who knew what the heck it was. Needless to say I kept
my eye out for Marty and Dr. Brown.... no I didn't see them but when I
got out of the cathedral the car was gone so the Delorian lives guys!
So I don't have sisters at home so I'm kinda new at this whole sister
bonding thing and by that I mean I don't know what to do. So it's
about that time that I like to start going to bed so I'm chilling in
bed pondering life watching some Mormon messages when Sister Osele
comes in and sits right next to me and starts talking to me about all
things and I'm just kinda like oh ok we're gonna talk now haha later
in companionship inventory she told me that her favourite part of her
day is bugging me right before bed haha my companions are so
incredibly sweet there melting my sister-less heart.
So life is pretty great in the mission field right now.
Love,
Sister Talia Brown 🇬🇧
