(Sunday) church was really good. Our ward is about half the size of our ward at home. (It's) got a bit of crazies in it, but what ward doesn't? We have a guy that is known as Edward the Pirate, because he lives on a boat 8 months out of the year and travels via boat up and down England trying to visit all the wards he can find.... We took (another sister) on an appointment the other day and that was kind of a bad idea! She speaks "scouse" (the Liverpool dialect) and we went to teach a guy from Yemen who speaks VERY little English (although he has lived here 4 years). So first off they couldn't understand each other at all. Secondly, she's not very reverent. She asked (our investigator) how many siblings he had and he responded telling her he has 8 brothers and 2 sisters. She got a shocked look on her face and said, "Ooo! You're parents been busy han't they?!".... and we carried on with the lesson. I was beginning to bear my testimony of Joseph Smith and I said, "Everytime I hear that story I get a bit emotional..." She interrupted with, "Just puts a lump in your throat don't it?!... sorry love, I forget, bad English, a lump in your throat, ya know, makes ya all sobby....Oh sorry love, you can keep talkin." Thanks... so she's a character.
We are one of the busiest areas in England. Most areas are finding all the time with little teaching... we haven't been able to go finding yet. We run from appointment to appointment and rarely have time to stop and eat lunch.... My feet are swollen... they hurt, but I'm told I'll get used to it.
