Missionary Letter #7 (November 15, 2010)

well, it's been a great week!

we're really excited because this is going to be like the best week ever. and the best week ever for a missionary to leave! sister j is so lucky. slash she so deserves it. but we have dinner appointments FOUR DAYS this week. that never happens! one of them is because i said to this lady in the ward, "this week is the last week you can have sis j over." it was the right type of person to say that to though because she loves us and loves church and everything, but she's like kind of fussy and like gets mad at us but at the same time loves us. anyway, it was perfect. sis g was so proud of me. "that's my daughter!" so anyway, meeting with b three times this week, sis j is playing violin for his baptism (she's a violin performance major at utah state) so i'm really excited for that.

last week we went finding on tuesday with another sister for a workover, and i feel like i learned so much from her. she's swiss, and the whole time she was just like giving compliments to people on their clothes and finding other things like that, and just being so friendly and sweet and then people would listen to her when she would share her own experiences! it was so cool. so i really liked working with her.

yesterday we sang God save the queen!! how long have i been looking at that in our hymnbook and never sang it???? so that was kind of fun.

this is sister j's last week! can you believe it?? i've only had her for less than a month and already leaving! my days of training in the mtc and now are just getting cut like no other. but i'm sure this week will go by so quickly because of it. BUT cool thing is that we take her to the office on monday next week in london, so we get to spend the rest of pday in london!!! woohoo! OH. saddest thing: apparently every missionary gets to see the lion king once while they're here. so obviously i thought, well, lion king is just an adaptation of hamlet. so...i wonder if i could see shakespeare. and THEN i realized that the globe theatre is on the OTHER SIDE OF THE THAMES. aka, it is in the london south mission. hahahaha. not like it would have worked anyway, but. i get to catch glimpses of it when we drive to the office so i guess that will have to do.

   

love you all so much! thank you for your letters i love you!

love,
sister emma
