Hello family and friends!

This week has been pretty good! Elder Fellows and I did a lot of street contacting in Falmouth and Penzance. We found some new people to teach which is great!

We put our friend, Courtney, on a baptismal date this past week as well! It was the first time I'd ever done that on my mission, so that was exciting. The date is pretty far away, but we're hoping to move it forward. Courtney is so awesome though. She's ready to be baptized. 

Currently there's a storm called "Ciara" in the UK. Everyone is kind of making a big deal out of it, but it seems like normal Idaho weather in the springtime to me. But our church was cancelled yesterday because of it. And some of the roads were closed, so it was not a very fun day.

I've been driving a lot lately. It's pretty crazy driving in England if I'm being honest. First off, they drive on the wrong side of the road, and the steering wheel is on the opposite side. Then the country roads are all only wide enough for one car, yet it's a two-way road. And lastly, they have millions and millions of round-abouts that have about 4 lanes in them. So I'm pretty confident that if I can learn how to drive here, I can drive just about anywhere. 

Anyways, I hope you all are doing well! I miss you all! I appreciate all the emails and prayers that you send. I'm loving serving as a missionary. It truly is the best decision I've ever made. The gospel is true. Love you all!

Pics:

1. Here's a pretty cool belt buckle shop that we saw in Penzance.

2. This is the Truro Cathedral. It's pretty gigantic! 

3. I met up with my man, Elder Kozma, this past week! It was good to see him again! He's doing really well with his new companion!

4. I saved this picture to my phone this past week. I thought I would share it with ya'll. I know it seems like a gruesome picture, and it kind of is. But the things that Jesus Christ went through for all of us was pretty gruesome. I decided to save this picture to my phone, so that when I feel like things are too hard to bear or I'm feeling sorry for myself, I can remember him. It was never easy for him, so why should it be easy for us?
