Hi everyone!
It has been a very tough week. But the good news is that the gospel is still true!
On Wednesday we spent the day doing service. It's quite funny because manual labor is such a treat for missionaries. It breaks up the type of work we do.
We painted Sister Nettleships hallway, then went to Sister Youngs. We missed the bus so we decided to run to her house. It took 40 minutes and was mostly uphill.

Typical missionary life :) Because Sister Young has a hurt foot, we helped with small chores. We helped her hoover (vaccum), pick apples and blackberries, and hang curtains.

This past weekend has been pretty tough for me. There are a lot of things weighing me down in the field right now. I am still adjusting and trying to get used to life as a missionary. As I watched a video published by the church, "The Refiner's Fire", there was something that really stuck out to me. A woman talked about her personal challenges and said, "I believe that the greater our sorrow is, the great our capacity is to feel joy." So, right now I definently feel my capacity to feel sorrow deepening. But I believe that it will not only prepare me for harder times in my life, but increase my capacity to feel joy!

The rest of the week was filled with teaching Slovak friends in Rotherham, studies, and transfer interviews.

We got a Tea appointment almost every night which was awesome because we usually only have a few a month!

Mimi & Jason Jones: We are so grateful for people like Sister Peg and others in the ward or area who help out these missionaries. We are extremely grateful to members like this who see a need and come to the rescue. We are also grateful for President and Sister Green.
