Ey up ducks! Last Wednesday almost felt like a proper American 4th of July over here with Root Beers and patriotic flags (the wrong flag though... haha), we had exchanges again, taught some ace visual lessons, we did some nice missionary work in a charity shop and more football madness happened!!       First I'll explain how my 4th of July went or treason day over here. We had our district council and naturally we had to sing all of the American patriotic songs before the church removes them from the Hymn books. After that we went and got some Mc Donald's and reminisced on ..read more

Hey again! Here's a 2 week update because of my Temple trip. Time is flying by quick. It's mad! Elder Legisma and I have been proper stuck in to the Lords work lately. We've had some funny experiences and went on a trip with a recent convert to see the brilliant Preston Temple.       So first off, the highlight was definitely the temple visit. We set off from Worksop at 10am with a couple of members and Elder Legisma's recent convert. The 2 hour drive was quite beautiful through the fields of Yorkshire to Lancashire. The member driving us is originally from Presto ..read more

Ey up everyone, It was a really smashing week! We did some missionary work with a soon to be missionary, had some crazy cool lessons with blokes from around the world, talked to some World Cup fanatics, and I had my last Zone Conference!       First off, yes I had my last Zone Conference! Time seems to be slipping through my fingers like crazy. We met at the Leeds Cross Gates chapel. I said hello and goodbye to loads of familiar faces. This conference was definitely one of my favorites! There were lots of laughs and spiritual stuff. Next month our mission is, as President T ..read more

Ey up ducks!! That's what a couple of people have actually called me here in Worksop. This week was had a really funny lady yell at us, I got going home advice from President and Sister Turvey, and more!       It was a well nice first week in Worksop. Once I got all of my luggage sorted, I took a train from Newcastle to Sheffield and met Elder Legisma. We took another train to to Worksop and went directly to church to help with a funeral of one of the members. I obviously never met the man, but he sounded like a very Christlike example to his friends and families. After the ..read more

Transfer calls came, we went on some more exchanges, I got treated at Sister Thompson's again, we witnessed a Turkish baptism, and we had an American Summer kickoff!!       So, first off transfers calls came once again. I had no idea what to expect this time, but I am leaving! I moving to a little city called Worksop near Sheffield. I'm gutted to leave Newcastle and the Geordies, but I'm excited for the last stretch of this big adventure! I'm also getting reassigned to be a normal missionary, which mean ..read more

Hey there, how are yous! These weeks are flying by and mushing together, but it was a good week nonetheless. I shared the gospel with Chinese people, turned 21, watched some jousting, and found a lot more Geordies to teach!       It's mental that this transfer is already coming to an end. We'll be getting transfer calls this Saturday. It's a strange feeling, because this coming one will be my final one. So we will see where and who the Lord places me with!       This week I was privileged with going on an exchange with the Chinese Elders. And we did some Chin ..read more

Hi there. It's been another Belta week here in Geordieland! We had loads of meeting this week, went castle hopping, and did some service in Gateshead.      One little extra thing.

Loads of meetings makes the week fly by. During Zone Conference, the departing missionaries of the ..read more
