Hello mama!!
Things here in Norwich are great... Basically I decided you can sum Norwich up like this:
1. Fabulous member missionaries
2. old people... they are EVERYWHERE!
3. stray cats.
So there you have it! That is Norwich! We are doing wonderful though and I am starting to love it! We went to the castle this week instead of last because it was cheaper this week. But other than that we have been doing missionary work! This past week started out pretty hard but we prayed a lot and the work was a lot better on Saturday and Sunday. I have really learned that as I stop worrying about myself and my wants and needs that it is easier to help others and makes things a lot more enjoyable!! Sunday we had an appointment with a 50 year old man who was 100% Church of England without a single spot. We had a feeling going in that it would be a hard lesson because Anglicans are not very accepting, especially when we inform them that their church was started by a King because he wanted to divorce his wife.(look up church of England background or I will explain that more if you don't understand.) But we prayed really hard and right before I realized that the appointment was going to be whatever I decided it was going to be. If I thought it was going to be miserable then it was. So I decided that it was going to be really really good. Turns out, it was. He told us straight out that he realizes that his church has some false doctrines and that it isn't really from God because it was started by the King with no power or authority from God. He was so excited to read the Book of Mormon and told us straight up that it would be incredibly hard for him to change his religion but if he receives the answer that this is true then he knows this is what he will have to do!!! How cool is that?!?! I know that Heavenly Father softened his heart and basically we as missionaries are not the teachers at all, all we do is help the spirit teach. So that is the cool story for the week!!
And about the package.. we have a lot of ensigns and such.. but TIDE TO GO PENS!!! then don't exist here, maybe 1 or 2 would do cause I still have about 2 left! other than that I don't really need anything :) maybe some CTR rings for the kids would be cute and just anything cool that you can find at deseret book, but I would rather have money than things if you know what I mean. just no chocolate cause really, American chocolate is absolute rubbish!!
We email from the library in Norwich! Its actually a HUGE place and it is really cool! We take the bus everywhere but run every morning. I am addicted to these chocolate ice cream things called Magnum bars.. The white chocolate ones!!! Im sorry that it feels like groundhog day, if it makes you feel any better the only difference between days on a mission is what you are wearing! haha you do the same exact thing every day.. but its ok :) Its fun!!! :)
Also... AHHHHH about soph surprise birthday party!! That is so sweet! Your like the poshest mum eva!!! ;) haha she will love it!! Make sure you take flat abby so that she can be there!! :) Take lots of pictures! And thank you again so much for all the quotes that you put in your emails! I love them!! :)
I love you to the moon and back infinity times!! Your the greatest momma and don't you ever forget it! Read your scriptures and say your prayers! xoxo
