Hello everyone! Another week gone by! Time continues to fly by! This week was quite hectic to be honest! On Wednesday the fire brigade showed up to our apartment complex and started putting fences up everywhere. Apparently the roof to our apartment complex was caving in, so everyone in apartment complex had to evacuate and move out for the time being. We ended up moving to the Forest of Dean area. We live in Monmouth, Wales which is right on the border of England and Wales. The area is really cool! 

We also had a sacrament meeting with our zone and Bristol zone again. It was super uplifting! Elder Crawford and I also gave a training which was fun! Afterwards we had interviews with President Hughes. He is such a good man! I celebrated my birthday on Friday. Thanks everyone for the birthday wishes! 

We also had an amazing devotional with Elder Baxter, a general authority, this past week! He shared his conversion story about when the missionaries knocked on his door in Scotland when he was just a young boy. He said that the gospel completely changed the direction that his life would have gone. He got pretty emotional as he talked about the missionaries. It was really special to hear! 

As I thought about how much the gospel gave to him and then the sacrifices that he made for the gospel, the lines from a hymn came to my mind. The line was "Because I have been given much, I too must give." I love this line, and I hope it's something that I can try to remember throughout my life! Have a good week everyone! Love you all!
