"And Please Bless Sister Breinholt That Her Nose Will Stop Running During District Counsel..."

HIYA LOVES!! 
I'm soo happy to be writing to all of you on a Thursday! Today is my temple Pday and I couldn't be more excited to see the Preston Temple!! 
The England weather really got to me this week and it absolutely DESTROYED me! I have been on my deathbed for a good 3 days but it's okay, the lords work doesn't stop! Me and Sister P listened to the mission Kanye West song this week titled, "Satan, we're gonna tear your kingdom down" and it was just the pump up we needed to get to today! The peak of my existence will be when Kanye becomes a Latter-Day Saint
The wonderful thing about England is that it never falls short of allowing me to see the most amazing miracles! The Lord truly loves his missionaries here! Here are the top moments of the last week and 1/2! 


Our friend Nicole is progressing at a rate me and Sister P. can't even keep up with. We decided to start from the very beginning and teach her the Restoration because we wanted to get a grasp on how much she knew about our church. And of course the Restoration lesson just BLOWS HER SOCKS OFF! Like it does everyone haha. In that moment she chose to change her life. Later that day she told us that she wants to get baptized. WE WERE SHOCKED!! I don't know if you remember my email about nicole. How she approached us in a pub and told us she was jesus christ and had the gold plates... well ya that same nicole wants to get baptized! The spirit is SOOO GOOD!!! After fasting for her on Sunday the spirit brought these words to my mind, "I want all my children, you need to give nicole the same energy and time that you give everyone else." It was one of those "ouch" moments. Nicole has already made AMAZING strides towards baptism by not having alcohol for 2 week and going from 15 cigarettes to 7 cigarettes a day! She's amazing and is the miracle of the transfer! KEEP NICOLE IN YOUR PRAYERS!!

I had the chance to go on exchanges with Sister Randle on saturday and it was seriously one of the greatest days of my mission! I felt so honored that i got to learn from one of the most seasoned missionaries! Sister randle planned a whole day of finding because this is something i have wanted to become more confident in! So we went to 3 different town centres and road buses all day! Our main focus of the day was teaching to find, so everyone we talked to we taught. I LOVED ALL OF IT! And i walked away feeling so confident! We had so many wonderful experiences! 


Max- we saw him in his red hoodie and knew we needed to talk to him so we ran to him! We testified of the book of mormon and how it would change his life if he would read it. A little ways into the converstation we realized he didnt speak english he spoke persian. So, i whipped out google translate and told him again that the book of mormon would change his life and that we would love to teach him more. He accepted our invitation and we got his contact! Im so glad we listened to the promptings of the spirit! 


Hannah- Before we left the flat sister randle had the strongest impression that we were going to teach someone the whole restoration. And in the final hours of our work we met hannah! We sat by her on the bus on the way back to the flat. Hannah had all the questions and we were able to answer them by teaching her THE ENTIRE LESSON OF THE RESTORATION! We got her to think and in that moment i felt the spirit testify "well done my good and faithful servant!" Hannah didnt have the desire in the moment to learn more from us but, im grateful for good seed planting moments. I know she will get another chance. I feel blessed that i got to play a role in her journey! 


The Lord rewarded our offerings that day. We gave everything to him. And in return he blessed us far beyond what we will ever know. I know his messages change ALL who hear it whether they accept it or not. I left my testimony behind everywhere I went. I now walk in confidence with the book of mormon in my hand ready to testify to ALL of gods children.

During a meeting on Tuesday I kept getting a call from a random number. After multiple calls I texted the number and told them that we couldn't answer at the moment but we were missionaries and would still love to help. This sweet Hungarian lady responded and said, "I want my 5 year old son to be baptized for Christmas!" 
Yesterday we went over to her house and met her sweet family! She said that it would be worth it to wait until age 8 if it could be in our church. I'm so excited to see what comes of this! 


Mission miracles are so amazing! I love how I go out everyday not knowing what is going to happen, but the lord does! My desire for the salvation of souls is so great! Im so blessed. Now its time to hit the ground sprinting to find every soul! 


I love you all! I'm grateful for your example! Stay close to heavenly father! He loves you! 
Also go to the temple this week!! 
Email me!! 


Love, 
Sister B.

HIYA HIYA!!!  Wow the weeks just keep getting faster and faster I can't believe it! WELCOME TO DECEMBER! In England we've been celebrating Christmas since November and I wouldn't want it any other way! I'm glad all my American peeps are up to speed now! Send me fun things you are doing for the holiday season this year! I would love to hear about it!  So many ups and downs this week but as I'm able to reflect on the miracles of the week I am so humbled! The lord truly works with all of the effort I put in each day. He truly magnifies my offerings. I have really felt the burning of the refiners fire this week and at moments the fire gets really hot and I want to step away or I question why does it have to hurt sometimes? But those are the moments where I am able to have the greatest conversation with Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ. Those moments where I get to plead on my knees for strength and help. And instantly they lift me up and carry me along!  I'm so prou...

I MADE IT TO PROVO YAYA

Bor Da my fish and chips lovers!! Wow this last week has been a blur of awesomeness:)) I finally made it to the mtc with extremely heavy luggage and a big smile on my face!  I LOVE BEING A MISSIONARY! There's nothing more special than being here in Provo surrounded by 1000000 missionaries. Goodbyes are hard but all I know according to my sister Rilee is that I have 514 days until I will be home in good Ole SJ:)) So not too bad... but until then I'm ready to devote my time to the lord and bring his children back!  There's so many amazing things I have learned over the last week but this email I'm going to focus on how amazing conference was!!!  Getting to watch conference at the MTC was so special. It's definitely going to be one of my most cherished memories from being a missionary.  Here are some of my takeaways from conference:  • God loves me individually and perfectly • The holy ghost speaks to everyone individually  • God's timing is perfect. So have t...

Let Us RUN With Patience The Race That Is Set Before Us.

Image
My mission has been the ultimate race.  Its a race i felt like i trained for for a long time.  I felt ready to run.  But quickly into this race i realised that i was far from prepared.  I didnt realise how steep the climb was going to be or how many roadblocks and detours i was going to have to take and conquer.  I learned quite fast that sprinting as fast as i could wasnt going to help me win this kind of race.  Something I came on my mission with was a full backpack.  Packed full of a collection of things from over the years.  Full of doubts  Full of insecurities  Full of sadness Full of brokenness  This backpack was really heavy.  It was a backpack that was full of the wrong equipment. Despite the weight I continued to try and run.  It was then a few months into this race i realised i wouldnt be able to run anymore with this bag dragging behind me.  But its hard to let go of things youve held onto for a long time. ...
