Hello my loves,
Thank you for the great emails things sound busy and yes a difinite
week of change! I am in my new area: I am in Derby... pronouced Darby
(one thing ive learned anything in england is always pronounced the
opposite of what it looks like! I am in Derby near Nottingham, England
with a missionary who has been out 6 weeks! Her name is Sister Peronnet
and she is grom Gineva, Switzerland! She speaks some english with a very
thick french accent! I am helping her learn english and she is teaching
me French! Ive got about 4 phrases down so im making progress daily!
Derby is HUGE! Like 6 times the size of my Area! We sometimes have to
Bus 30 minutes to a DA or appointment, and Ive never bussed before and
my comp has been out 6 weeks, so its been a rough couple of days
figuring things out, but were getting there! We dont bike much which im
bummed about, just because we bus most places. I love bullseye and she
was a bit pricey so i want to get the most use out of her, but my bum is
far less sore lately! haha But everything is good. Getting a new area
with a 6 week missionrary was a bit overwhelming, but we got organized
this week and this week were going to get serious and start working!The
ward is really great though and all willing to help in the work which
makes our job so much easier! I have never had so many hugs on my first
day here!
It was so hard to say goodbye to Cheltenham! It was like leaving
for the Mtc all over again! It was hard to leave the area i had been
working so long, but it is def in good hands! Definintly some tears
shed, and so hard to say goodbye to the members. I have family there, my
district, my girl, it was really hard! We had our last TGIS that night
and then split for the mission home the next morning for a coach (bus)
to take us to the mission home and then to get on another Coach to get
to Nottingham and then to get on another train to get to Derby at 8
oclock. a Long day for sure! Our flat is quite nice and I finally got a
memory foam mattress for my bed! I have never been happier to be in bed
at half ten!
Cheltenaham will always be one of my favourite areas; so many good
things and went through so much learning an growth, but im excited to
expereince even more in a different area! Our area is doing pretty well-
we spent mostly this week getting things organized and ready to see how
we are going to work this area. Derby is a gold mine for finding.
Filled with heaps of African and chinese people!
We are teaching a man named Yan Wu from Singapore China! He speaks
very little english and it is incredible teaching him. we watched the
Restoration in Chinese the other day, and not exaclty how i pictured
joseph smith speaking chinese, but the spirit is so strong as we huddle
closely together as he whispers in broken english. I kind of felt like
Teddi teaching in Hong kong for a few minutes! He knows it is all true,
he just says he needs more time to be baptised. We also taught a lady
named Jackie who is from Tucson AZ haha pretty crazy! She loves God so
much and wants to do what is right, love that lady allready! We also
have a baptismal date for the 12 for a boy named Jack. Such a sweet
little boy with some challanges but he is excited to be baptised before
he turns 10! We have some good investigators, but im excited to go
finding here. Even though the lady next to me just accused me of being
evil, yelled at me and then refused to sit next to me. I know there are
people being prepared for me here and im going to find them!
Dallin, that is incredible you are baptising Dan, you are the man! I
love you and am so proud of our progress. Mum, I would love to be in
your lessons! You are incredible. Sorry its short, you have to literally
maul someone to get a computer here. I am good, I am safe, and I am
happy.
The Church is true.
Love you all
W9 Sister wengert
