The People

Hello Everyone!
I can't believe i've been here for a month. It's unreal but i absolutely love it. It's been a really good week, stressful but really good nonetheless. This week we had quite a few people come into the visitor's center and we met our goal of 32 lessons taught online. One of our investigators that we met on the street like forever ago barely called us back this week but how awesome is it that she actually still wants to hear from us!? i thought she was just trying to be polite when she met us. haha. we set up an appointment with her on tuesday in the visitor's center so i'm hoping it goes well.

Nothing too exciting has happened this week other than the investigator calling us back except the fact that we had so many lessons taught online and also we had a lot of tours taught. Missionaries from the field bring their investigators to the visitor's center and the spirit is so strong when we teach them. I taught a tour by myself yesterday and two with my companion, sister cardona. The one that i taught alone i thought went really well and so did the ones with my companion. Rumor has it that if you bring your investigators to the visitor's center they end up getting baptized which is completely true. haha. Even though i'm not the one seeing baptisms, i'm a part of them. Sister cardona and i are hoping to get a baptism online this next and last 6 weeks that we are together. We worked our buns off the last 6 weeks and are going to try to work even harder these last ones.

Ooo. I had a crazy allergic reaction from the laundry detergent that we have been using so that was fun. not. my throat swelled up, my skin broke out and i itched so bad. not fun. i'm still recovering. haha.

The ward members here are so awesome. British people are super hard on the outside but once they warm up to you it's a whole different story. It's been a challenge trying to warm up to them and it's taken a good 6 weeks to do it and that's only some of the members. It's crazy how different people are compared to home. Speaking of home, I hope you all had a wonderful fourth of july! we celebrated on the down low here since we're in the heart of the people who lost... but we had a lovely cake with ice cream that was super patriotic. (: This week made me realize how blessed i am to have grown up in America. I miss it! I miss driving on the right side of the road/ wide roads, the people and don't make me say it... i miss wal mart. there. i know. it's awful. it's like we waste pday going to a million different places for a million different things! so frustrating. if only they had a wal mart. haha. it's okay though. (: i'm enjoying the culture here for sure and on sunday i realized how much i really do love being in England and the weather has been absolutely beautiful for us so i can't complain!

 I'm hoping to hear from more of you next week! I love hearing what everyone is doing in their life and it's only fair since i'm telling you about my oh so lovely life in England. (: right? haha. I miss you all a lot and i especially miss all my little cousins. When i see a little kid or a baby i just want to hold them and kiss their cute little cheeks! It's lame that we can't hold babies because they are my favorite! anyway... i love and miss you all and hope to hear from you soon!

Love,

Sister Stewart

p.s. I noticed that i'm starting to think with a british accent. super weird.
