#77

Ok so the title of the email…… FUNNY STORY! Sister W. one of my comps is super funny and can do a Relief Society General Presidency voice and she was say short bold statements of doctrine from PMG in that voice and I tried to use that line in a lesson and all I could think about was her saying it all funny so we all started to giggle… ANYWAY!!!

How are you all?? Sounds like you all had a pretty normal week! I am excited to see the new car!
Thanks for those Halloween pictures!! They are so cute!!!!!!
I will try and get you all something cool from here.
So anyway this week was crazy! I am yet again teaching another of my posterity to drive on the crazy roads here. It is intense.
Honestly this week was a little difficult for me. In the sense that a lot of the people that have been progressing in the past and doing SO AWESOME are falling by the wayside because of their agency. Bob Sagget. Agency is so useful yet sometimes saddens me.
The Sisters are picking up on things quickly. I attempted to send them off on splits by themselves but our apts fell through…. But for the time they did have by themselves they did well! Next week I will be leaving to go to Trinidad for a STL and ZL big meeting with President M. and the AP’s so that’ll be cool and a good opportunity for them to learn and grow by themselves.
On the bright side of things! We are finding a lot of really cool people!
We also have met some really hysterical and wildly inappropriate drunk people….. SO. We will keep being careful.
This week we met this family and they are meant to be a mormon family!!!!!!!!! They are awesome. They are going to be great!!!
Anyway honestly that’s about all to super report on this week. Just still going strong and doing our best. I love my trainees they are amazing and teach me so much.
I had my last fast and testimony meeting as a missionary yesterday. I was a little emotional not going to lie. But I pulled together. These next few weeks I may be a little sad but life goes on right>?!!?
Welp. I love you all so very much and I thank you for all you do for me 🙂
Love, Sister Emily

Beautiful Places!

PoppieatTowerOfLondonSource

I have always loved Poppies!

They are such a beautiful flower.

There is a beautiful exhibit of ceramic poppies that have been placed around the Tower of London to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the end of World War I.  Each poppy represents a soldier killed during World War I, 888,246 poppies will eventually be “planted.” The exhibit started back in August and it has taken all this time to fill the mote of the Tower of London with all of the poppies. The last poppy will be planted on the 11th of November,  Armistice Day. 

What a neat thing!

When I look at this exhibit I think, “This is beautiful! This is a beautiful place!

We should always remember those who came before and sacrificed so much to make life better for us.
