Peter Pan

"The secret is not in doing what you love but in loving what you do, that is the secret to happiness."

A little different start to this week and new chapter. This week I can say I am good! I do miss home but I am happy to experience both the gospel and England for the next 17 months.

This week was super interesting. Nothing outstanding happened but I kept thinking of home and all of the experiences I've had and it turned from longing to gratitude. I'm so grateful for everything my mom made me memorize! The spirit could not prompt my mind without the words being there in the first place. I'm just overwhelmed with gratitude this week and I'm happy to be here in Newbury!

Friends!

I can't go into detail about who we are teaching but we have a really sweet group of people longing for the joy of the gospel. So if you could just pray for my mission efforts I know the Lord will understand.
