Kara entitled this one "Finding Nature"

Dovestone Reservoir

Well, We've just had a flash blizzard. left the flat about 20 minutes ago, walking in warm (ish) sunlight. And within the last 20 minutes, the sky went dark, it started snowing and now there's already an inch of snow on the ground.... Britain.

They came out with a new rule this week for missionaries... well a revision. We can now email friends. Surprise! We sat there and were like... really? So I thought that was quite the change. So I'll email Emily about housing for fall.

This week was really good. Last P-day Sister Ballantyne and I went to Dovestone Reservoir. I just needed to get out and get some fresh air. So we hiked around the reservoir and saw a beautiful sunset over the hills. So that was very nice and calming. I wrote a very extensive letter to President this last week about how I've been feeling and he came to see me on Saturday. He laid my letter in front of us and said, "You could get a master's for such in-depth analysis." Then said some of it just went over his head, but he understood a bit better what I was thinking. He then reminded me that I have a "Big Presence" in this mission and that hopefully I can once again start being a strength for other missionaries and whatnot, and I need to make sure I'm being a presence for good and not for bad. So that was nice. He then took us to Liverpool for a baptism. I got to see all the members that I left a year ago now. They all asked when I'll be transferred back to Liverpool. It was good to see that they still remember me.

We took one of our investigators to a fireside at the mission home last night. He enjoyed himself and is now talking about wanting to get baptized. We might hand him over to the elders here soon, we're praying about it, we just get a really odd feeling when we have to meet with him. We're trying to figure out why.

Oh look, the sun came back out again... snow just melted... Britain.

We've gotten a lot of referrals lately. We hope to get in contact and have a bunch of new investigators! Sweet!

Well, that's mostly all the exciting things from this side of the world.

Well, I hope you have a wonderful week! I want to see more pictures of Kade! He's getting on 4 months here soon!

I love you all very much! Take care!
