Cheltenham, England - August 10, 2015

hey! so today for our district p-day party we went to Gloucester Cathedral- Where they filmed HARRY POTTER!! It was so legit! you could totally see all the parts where they filmed, like specific seens. Especially in the second movie a lot. It was a ton of fun! then we went out to KFC for lunch (where the elders ALWAYS want to go). It was so cool seeing all the insanely old people burried there (like we are talking thousands of years) and all the really intricate carvings, statues, stained glass windows. It was noticeable though how even though we were in this huge, amazing church the Spirit was not there. When we went to lunch in KFC we obviously prayed over our food before we ate and the we all noticed how the Spirit was stronger in the middle of KFC with a bunch of missionaries praying than it was in that cathedral. Just goes to show how this is the true church :) Other than that, this week was fairly normal. We had a Zone Conference with Elder Dyches from the seventy again. He is the best! it was awesome feeling the Spirit so strongly as he talked about how we can be better missionaries and teachers. Then he pulled two random people out of the congregation to check how well we are keeping our planners in front of everyone. Of course he picked me! ugh! i was so nervous! but he checked this elders planner first. Let's just say this elder got rebuked... hard core...in front of a quarter of the whole mission! So then i go hand mine to him. I had a picture of Christ on the front of my planner which he really loved. Then he went through page by page holding it up so everyone could see. He smiled and said that i was doing a good job! He said it was a model for other missionaries! I am so glad he thought i was doing well with it! that would have been really embarassing if he didn't like it! Also this past sunday we had a huge miracle. Our numbers for the week were not too fantastic and we only had an hour of finding to get 3 lessons and two new investigators. With these our numbers for the week would be a lot better so we prayed really hard and specifically before we left our flat. we went outside and with in 45 minutes had gotten our goals! The Lord is so awesome to put those people in our path! what a blessing! we are seeing the people from that hour later this week and i really can't wait to teach them more. well hope you have a great week! love you!

Love,
