Hiya everyone:)
This past week has been good! It went by pretty fast. The craziest thing that happened was that I got tested for COVID. The thing that made it crazy was that this was my first covid test ever! So I made it two years and seven months since the pandemic started without being tested haha. My companions couldn't believe it haha. Don't worry I am negative.
Other highlights:
-We got to go to THE famous Alnwick Castle!!! Aka, the Harry Potter castle. It was so cool! We spent the whole day there, touring it, and having fun. We got to do broomstick training which was a blast. Also, got some good ol Butterscotch Beer. It was most definitely the coolest castle I have been to so far.
- We had zone conference this week. That was very cool, it is always fun to be with a ton of missionaries and the Spirit is always super strong.
-We had English class again this week:) We are slowly getting more people to show up so that's been awesome!!
-We went to the care home again to visit a member that lives there. That's why we had to test for covid. She's the sweetest and is probably one of my favorite people to visit.
- We went to Richmond one of the days to do some finding and visiting and we saw the coolest waterfall!! I love Richmond and honestly would live there in a heartbeat...it's gorgeous!
-While we were in Richmond we knocked on the door of this 96 year old and he was awesome!! I kept getting the impression to give him a Book of Mormon so I did and he was so happy to take it! He said he would read it all and then he read us the poem that he wrote to the queen:) It was very sweet because in it he talked about how he was born only a couple of weeks apart from the queen.
-We had a lesson with a friend that hasn't come to church in a long time and we just read her the Book of Mormon because she is partially blind. It was very sweet. But let me tell you about her house. This woman is the world's biggest collector there ever was. I have never seen anything like it. She has about 300 elephant figurines, 200 angel figurines, 100 porcelain war masks, religious pictures, and 800 teddybears!! It was crazy. But the good thing was she isn't a gross collector, like her house wasy pretty clean all things considering. And then for Christmas she takes it ALL down, and puts up hundreds of Christmas decorations. It blew my mind.
I just love being a missionary here in England and I am so grateful for God sending me here!! I know He knows me perfectly because I feel like I am in Heaven as we drive through these beautiful green hills and Yorkshire dales and the pretty cobblestone streets. I love nature so much and I feel God's love the most when i am surrounded by the beautiful things around me. England is gorgeous!!! God loves us so much!
Love,
Sister Jepp:)
