Week 2

Hi Momma!! 

First off, y'all don't get to complain about the cold! It's already freezing here!! Like for real I have no clue how I will survive winter! Anyways, the food is still great and the desserts are even better! It's actually a problem haha. Last p-day we went to some shops in Chorley. It was nice to be able to get away from the MTC, and be able to interact with real people! As much as I love my district, it's nice to see some new faces! haha Thursday was a normal day at the MTC, studying and and teaching and studying some more. 

Friday was a interesting day!!! We went into Manchester to go street contacting!!! I was so nervous at first! I mean how was I supposed to talk to random people on the street about the church?!?! When we got our there I was procrastinating talking to our first person by eating lunch, but then sister Kim and I just did it!! We talked to a ton of people, and it was surprisingly easy to bring up the church to people! We didn't give away any copies of The Book of Mormon, but we did give away a lot of pass along cards!! One cool experience from that day was the last lady we talked to! Sister Kim and I hadn't talked to anyone in a while, and we wanted to talk to one more person before we left! We said a prayer to find someone that would listen to our message. while we were making our way back to the meeting spot we both saw this woman and we both had the feeling we needed to talk to her! Long story short she was the most amazing woman ever!! We talked to her about how families can be together forever and how God loves us. She listened to every word!! It was a super cool experience to have! Heavenly Father really does answer prayers and he does lead us to those who are prepared to hear the Gospel. 

Saturday was also a normal day! We were all very tired after our long day in Manchester. Sundays at the MTC are super chill! (well after sacrament meeting at least) We don't know who gives talks in church so all the missionaries prepare one and then president Preston just randomly chooses someone to speak. It's a bit nerve racking! Luckily I haven't been chosen yet, but sister Kim was! She did such a good job though! After church we have tons of personal time! Sister Kim and I like to walk down to the temple! That's why there are so many temple pics!! The temple here is so beautiful here!! I love living right next to the temple! I'm going to miss it so much when I'm in Scotland! The rest of the week has just been normal. sitting in a class room all day! I am doing so good mom! I love it here!! I hope all is well in Georgia!! I love you guys!!!
