This week was amazing – the highlight of my mission so far! Daniel
got baptized on Saturday! Woahhh!
 |
| Sister Mura, Daniel and me! |
Man such a beautiful thing to watch – someone
you've found and taught get baptized. To witness his transformation in just six
weeks is such a blessing and a miracle. He has taken the Word of Wisdom to
heart and is following the commandments he has learned! He is such a miracle! His
confirmation was so powerful. The blessing made me cry. It talked about many
spiritual things that indicate how important he is to the Lord! To witness the
change of heart in people that comes with the gospel is indescribable. He is
just so happy! Sooooo cool!

Daniel will receive the priesthood next week and will be able to
baptize one of his sons and a young daughter. We are teaching his 19-year-old son
who came to the baptism. He said he felt the spirit so strongly there; such a testament
to that special ordinance. The whole family is growing; it's so amazing!!
I feel like part of the reason I was called to this mission is
because I promised Daniel in the pre-mortal life that I would find him and
share the gospel with him!
I'm getting transferred to Ashford tomorrow. And holy flipping
cow, I will be the training missionary for a new missionary, Sister MuraKane
from Hawaii. Talk about being thrown into the deep end! Haha! But at least I'll
learn how to swim! ;) It will be really good and I'm very excited!!! Oh my
stars! I'm so excited to meet Sister Murakane! I'll move tomorrow, but will be
in London most of the day for training meetings. It's going to be great – I'm
excited! Hopefully I don't suck at training this poor girl but I know if I just
trust the Lord he will do all the work through me!

I'm really sad to leave this area, the wonderful people of
Mildenhall and my awesome companion, Sister Mura. We have so many people we are
teaching and who are progressing toward baptism. AND, we found so many new
people just this week! We have been so blessed; we've found four families to
teach! Our numbers for church attendance sky rocketed this transfer. The Lord
is really blessing this area!!! He's amazing; He's led us to so many amazing
people!!! It

will be sad leaving the ward and the people we are teaching, but
I know they're in good hands! Sister Adams is coming to replace me;
she's amazing; she’s funny, spiritual and the best! She was in my room at the MTC. I love her! I know Sister Mura and Sister Adams will take really
good care of the wonderful people here in Mildenhall.
The weather has been great this week! We even had some sun for a
couple hours, which really made me happy! You never realize how much you
appreciate the sun until you never get it anymore. It was so beautiful; it
didn't feel like England!
I love you guys so much! Have a wonderful week you beautiful
people!! I love
you!
This week we found 12 new investigators! So cool to witness the Lord’s
work through us! We will have our first baptism in Ashford in three weeks – a
gentleman named Sorin, from Romania! It’s just so exciting to see how the
gospel is spreading and how it is helping to change so many lives for the
better! It is the greatest blessing to be involved in the Lord’s great work! So
thankful for my decision to go on a mission to share the gift of Jesus Christ
with others!
Ashford is near the ocean, so today we went to a place they call
the “white cliffs.” It is so incredibly beautiful here!! A big storm named “Doris”
moved in and is super windy and rainy – we got soaking wet today! But we had an
awesome time anyway!
Today’s such a busy day with very little time to write, so will
hopefuly share more next week. I love you all so much!!
