eight days after the day i really thought it would come...


i was very surprised when i opened my call on thursday night because i was called back here:


to the england london mission! i still can hardly believe it.

here is the uk:
 



according to this breakdown of the island, england london mission is mostly east anglia, and then the southeast part of the southeast region, plus london. i just read some things about it and apparently it's mostly rural (surprise), is flat, and is essentially a huge bog! yay. my middle school was built over a bog.

this is kind of the only region that i have not really been to at all--the east anglia part, so that's cool.
 
honestly, i was pretty surprised that i was called to go somewhere that's been kind of the focus of my studies for my college life. i was expecting anything that would be
random, that i had no connection with, like most people who open their mission calls. but, this is so good too.

so. back to western europe for the fall?

Dude Emma. It was meant to be. I really think so. Too bad you're not going to Bulgaria or Russia, though.
