Hello everyone! 

I hope you all had a good week! This week was pretty good! I moved down to Poole! It's been a good time so far! I found out that this place is really really posh. It feels like the Hollywood of the U.K. to be honest. Everywhere you go you see big houses and super cars. 

The ward here is also amazing! I gave a talk this Sunday. We had church in person, and they were allowed to have about 60 people there, so it almost felt like a normal church service. We've been teaching a few people. We will have to pass them on to some other Elders who are now covering the ward that they're in. But we have high hopes for this area. 

We also played some sports this week which was way fun! We played a game of touch rugby. It was my first time playing rugby. It took awhile to get used to, but honestly it was so much fun! We also played a basketball game with the bishopric and young men in the ward. The bishop was a baller! I was actually surprised with how good some of them were. It was fun! 

In part of my talk that I gave at church this Sunday I shared a quote from David A. Bednar from this past conference. He said, "Gospel principles are for me and you what a helm is to a ship. Correct principles enable us to find our way and to stand firm, steadfast, and immovable so we do not lose our balance and fall in the raging latter-day storms of darkness and confusion. We have been blessed abundantly in this general conference to learn about eternal principles from the Lord’s authorized servants. Now, our individual responsibility is to govern ourselves according to the truths of which they have testified." I'm grateful for the principles that we learn in the gospel of Jesus Christ. They really do help us become better people and help us find joy! I hope you all have a great week! 

Love ya!
