Hello everyone!It has recently come to my attention that people love my letters so much, they send their favourite parts to my dad to tell them their thoughts. I am honoured. “Welcome to St.Helens, honey!”

Also another random
thought I had was that if 2 missionaries ever just show up on your front porch,
then you should probably be nice to them, and maybe feed them and invite them
into your home. Maybe even listen to them as they teach you about the Book of Mormon.
Who knows? It could probably change your life since it's changed
mine.

Everyone, this week was
really great but really hard! Sometimes I forget life isn't just amazing
all the time so that sucks. But honestly, life is great here and I'm loving it
and learning lots. Also sorry I have absolutely zero time to write anyone else as
this email literally just deleted itself 20 minutes before P-day ends.
Hahahaha.
Also please forgive how terrible I look in most photos as it is
typically pouring and crazy windy here so yikes. Honestly I don't care, but
some of you might be terrified, so sorry! I promise I shower and stuff!
Guy Fawkes Day! A long
time ago in a land far away, a man named Guy Fawkes tried to blow up the
English Parliament. Unfortunately, he failed. Haha. But for some reason, they
created a holiday to celebrate the fact he failed. So fun! Pretty much it's a
lot of fireworks, bonfires, and burning scarecrows and just having a dandy
time. For some reason, missionaries had to go in early to stay safe, so we
decided to put up Christmas decorations and sing Christmas carols. We love that
for us. Also, I realize that quite a few missionaries don't have housing that's
quite as nice as mine, so I'm sorry. If it makes you feel better, we didn't
have hot water in our kitchen tap this week. It was a trial.
Zone Conference was on
Wednesday (woot woot)! Another great thing that made it awesome was the fact
that it was in Chorley, literally on the MTC grounds right next to the temple.
Not gonna lie, these last few weeks have been a little emotionally crazy so I
prayed for the entire week that I would be able to talk to either one of my MTC
teachers, or someone I knew from the MTC, just so I could talk to someone from
my "normal" life (does that make any sense?).
All day long I kept
praying and had my eyes peeled but there was nobody. Nothing. Nada. Zip. Zero.
It finally reached the end of zone conference and it was time for us to head
home. To say that I was disappointed was a major understatement. We started
leaving and right as we were about to turn to leave the MTC grounds, lo and
behold, who turned around the other corner? Brother Casadibari, one of my MTC
teachers who changed my life. It literally was the dumbest and shortest
conversation ever, but it truly was such a tender mercy, and just a little
confirmation that Heavenly Father is looking out for me. Made me so happy and I
was so grateful. Heavenly Father loves us folks. He really does.
On Thursday, we had a
tea appointment where they gave me 4 high quality slices of blood sausage at
the end. Did I definitely go home and fry it up and eat it? Yup! I love it. So
delicious. Reconstituted pig's blood? Who cares? Not me!
Saturday we were able
to teach one of my favorite families in the world about how families can be
together forever, not just until we die, and it really struck me at how blessed
I am to know that. I can be with Heavenly Father and my family forever. How
amazing is that? They also fed us this bread pudding thing with toffee sauce
and whipped cream and it was so delicious. I promise I love them because
they're amazing, not just because they feed us. I swear.
Yesterday was
Remembrance Sunday, which is when everyone gathers together to remember all the
troops that have fought and died in any war. We got to go down to the town
square with everyone else and listen to the ceremony and it was quite touching.
Thank you to the people who fight for our freedoms and liberties, who literally
put their lives on the line for us.
Sorry this is super
short, but read the Book of Mormon! Pray about it! Get your own testimony! Then
write me because it makes my week (even if I can't respond I am so sorry it is
so crazy here)!
love you all!
Sister Pursglove
