So this week was pretty good and packed with lots of fun! There was awesome stuff every day this week and loads of funny stories so I'm going to go day by day again so you can all get the play by play
😀Monday- an investigator, Henry, took us to lunch at a posh restaurant! I had the best Mac and cheese ever (it had mushrooms and spinach in it and so I was super happy 😀) and he got venison. Like who knew you could eat flipping deer meet in the middle of the city in Wales?! I was shocked! And then I was jealous because I didn't get the same thing... Haha
but then all of us went bowling again and this time I actually won! Haha yay!Tuesday- so I can't remember if we do this in America or not, but the second Tuesday of February is pancake day. Like every one over here makes loads of pancakes and has lemon and sugar on them (it's the best thing ever by the way, but British pancakes are like crepes, not like our fluffy ones so it might be a little bit different haha). So we went over to Lisa's house and made lots of pancakes. Well we were going along making our pancakes in this little old frying pan. Lisa decided that she wanted to try flipping a pancake in the air like the professionals do. So sister Larsen, Lisa and I get all geared up for her to do it when...CRASH!!! As soon as she tried to flip it the handle on the pan broke and the pancake and the pan go crashing down on the floor. Haha it was the most hilarious thing in the world! We all just stared at it in silence for a quick moment and then all burst out laughing so hard!
haha I love Lisa so much!Wednesday- we went over to a recent convert's house, Nkosie. She is from Zimbabwe and oh my goodness they are the cutest family ever. It is just her and her three kids. Well we went over there when the kids were at school because they are kind of crazy, so then we were able to have a more spiritual lesson about her getting a patriarchal blessing. So hopefully that will be happening soon. Then a really sweet lady from the ward, Sister Henry, had us over for lunch.
Thursday- we had zone conference on Thursday which was awesome. We got training from President Leppard on teaching. It was scary because we had to do a role play of us teaching the restoration with one of the leaders watching us and critiquing us. Well guess who was lucky enough to to get president to watch them?! That's right, this girl! Ugh, it was super nerve racking just because I didn't want him to think I was awful at this whole missionary teaching thing haha. Sister Larsen and I were both freaking out afterwards thinking about it haha. But it was way cool because after that all the sisters and all the elders separated from each other and went in to different rooms. We got training just for sisters, and it was amazing! It was all about individual worth and how we are looking gems of our Heavenly Father. (Read Doctrine and Covenants 101:3. Think of the whole process it takes to make a jewel. From carving it out of the rock to when it is sold. Its a great message to think that to make the Jewel more sparkly and have more facets it has to go through a pretty rough process. So we
are like the jewels, our trials make us better). The Spirit was super strong and I just loved it!
Friday- sports night! Henry came and I think he had a really good time. We played basketball the whole time. I think he enjoyed it even though he had never really played before, he is really athletic so it worked out fine. Plus then we were able to have a lesson with him on the bus ride home!
Saturday- we did service for Lisa and helped her clean her house again. This time we did de-cluttering and organising and it ended up looking really good! I'm so happy for her! It was also a rugby game between Wales and Scotland so town was sooo crazy! Like you could barely move there were so many people! And absolutely everyone was wasted by about 1 in the afternoon so finding wasn't all that great. When we were walking home at around 8:40 we bought cookies and just watched all the drunk people make fools of themselves. Haha it was like dinner and a show! We laughed sooo hard
Sunday- Moein and a guy named Ade came to church! They both enjoyed it so we are hoping to see them again next week. Moein has already come three times and is doing great so we are really stoked about him. Then we had munch and mingle afterwards with the ward which was good. Aden had to leave, but Moein stayed and is making some good friends in the church. Yay! 😀 after church since it was Valentine's Day we took some valentines we made to a couple less actives, but no one was home :( we will try again today or tomorrow!
Well there is my whole week for you! It was a really good one! It went by so fast and was packed with loads of fun! Well love you all!
Love,
Sister Rasmussen
