Hiya everyone!!!!
So sad news, we lost Sister De Guzman! One of the sisters in the mission went home because of health issues and so her companion got Sister De Guzman. It was really sad, but also we still get to see her like 2 times a week at least so that's way nice. She's the best!
In other news, here's the happenings of the week:
- we had Hull stake pday this week!! So that means 6 hours of straight volleyball, chair football, spikeball, and football. It was SO FUN!!!
-had exchanges with Sister Crook! She's in Scunthorpe and we had a blast. She is so sweet and we had a good time and talked to some cool people!!
- also had exchanges with Sister Tijssens in Harrogate! She's the coolest ever. She literally has already done so much and was ground control at an airport and a sushi chef. So like the coolest ever.
-got to do some weed whacking this week. They call it a strimmer haha, I got to wear this cool suit thing and I looked like the Michellin man haha. Also it was gross because the weeds were to my knees and I for sure saw the longest worms that got sprayed all over me haha, nasty
-dropped off the Sister that was going home in Leeds and got to talk to Sister Clare, the mission presidents wife, she's the BEST!
-painted some houses this week, I'm telling you, I'm going to be a painter for my profession
Also, I haven't really told you fun facts about England so here ya go:
The King owns all of the swans in the UK, so if you hurt or kill one you get this massive fine.
Fun saying, "Bless his cotton socks"
The fruit and vegetables go bad really fast here haha
Most people drive manuals here. So all the British missionaries always think driving automatics are so boring haha
A favorite breakfast and food here is Beans on Toast, I think its nasty.
You can only buy scissors if you are 21
Pubs are normal eating places during the day, then at night they become a bar/night life. So yes, I've eaten in a couple pubs.
All the washing machines are in the kitchen in flats.
For all the outlets, there is a switch to turn on the outlet, you can't just plug it in
There is no AC in most places, and they have radiators, not heating systems
Slang terms:
Pang, means you're pretty
Lang, means you're out of this world beautiful
You have to put a pound coin in to get a shopping cart, then you get it back at the end
Eggs aren't refrigerated here. Bread is.
That's all I got for you today folks, love you all!!!
Love,
Sis Jepp:)
