The Pegg's favorite fish n'chip shop. Make sure to get a dandelion and burdock soda and some mushy peas and curry with your meal! Ps...notice how the cars park on the road here.
Was I warned about the rain in England? Yes. Was I prepared for it? Nope. The rain here is SO unpredictable. One second it will be sunny and warm, and the next it is pouring. Imagine a shower coming from the sky. It's like that...but worse.
This week was super busy. Most of our appointments fell through, but the Slovak work is moving forward rapidly. A little background- there used to be an entire Slovak branch here in Sheffield, but there were some major problems that caused everybody to go inactive except for one older man.
This week we met S. He is a Slovak man who isn't a member but is eager to learn more. We have taught him two lessons and hope to keep progressing him. His daughter in law is also interested so we began teaching her as well. In addition, we met with the M. family, and hope to reactive them and get their sweet 8 year old daughter baptized as well! Sister Mottlova translates for me as I simply explain principles and testify of the truthfulness of this gospel. The work is moving forward!
Fun side note: It's berry season here, and Sis Mottlova LOVES blackberries. So every few days we walk down the street collecting blackberries to put in our morning porridge.
Five Guys with my district. Elder Sena, Reese, King-Taomohanga and Hadfield.
Side note no. 2... We got invited to a BBQ this week at a friends house. When we showed up, we were the only white people there HA. Try to picture that. Two white girls with funny name tags and long dresses at an African backyard BBQ. It was awesome.
This week I have realized how grateful I am for the consistency that the gospel brings into my life. I meet people every day who do not know their purpose. They don't know why they are here and who they can turn to for strength and comfort. Because of the gospel of Jesus Christ, I can have constant peace in my life regarless of my circumstances. Think for a second about that. What would your life be like without that knowledge? The gospel is so good. Do not take it for granted!
Cheers! Sister Jones
Package from the fam! No better feeling than picking up a package at zone conference.
HAPPINESS! Ice cream and a craft store....The whole Peter Rabbit Collection!
Such a nostalgic view for me. This is my view right after we got off the train in Rotterham. We'd walk across the bridge and the soccer field into the run down gypsy town to teach our Slovak friends
