Week 49: The Grind (St. Albans)

It was another exhausting but good week. At this rate I'll probably either come home balding or with gray hair, but we'll see. Literally a million things always happening. Lots of meetings and grinding on the streets. Elder Sabin of the area Seventy was here with his wife for our zone conferences. We took the train into London on Thursday morning for the world's longest meeting/zone conference. Literally was a walking zombie after it. Elder Sabin shared some great insights, but my favourite would have to be "stretch don't stress". A lot of times in missionary work things happen that we can't control but we can't let them get us down. We can only do so much and people still have their agency.

With that being said I was able to go back to Cambridge on Sunday for Lorraines baptism. Keeley was supposed to get baptised as well but blocked us and haven't heard from her and it broke my heart. Fortunately Lorraine still got baptised and it was so amazing! She's so incredible. Her kids love it so much and they can't wait to get baptised as well.

We also have a baptism this upcoming Saturday with our friend named Alice. She's so amazing. She's 22 and the most solid person ever. She's one of those people who could totally serve a mission and kill it. She's so funny and I'm so grateful to have had the opportunity to teach her and see her grow.

Literally so busy and starting to feel it haha. I got pretty sick this week just from exhaustion and running on fumes but eventually my body will adjust haha. At least I hope so! I'm loving the journey and all the crazy things that go on with being here. I love my saviour and have loved my mission. I have learnt so much and can't wait to continue to know my saviour and grown in my own faith. I love you all so much and keep on being great!
