Emi's Fifty-First Email! January 25, 2016

Everything I now remember from last week:
"We can take this and use it for sacrament tomorrow" (regarding the snow
after I kept eating it)
"The angles need to put petrol in the sun, it's not working"- Sister
Ntambwe haha
At a st. Display I told an older gentleman I liked his bike and he let
me ride it! Never felt so free in my life. And then after he gave me a
hug out of nowhere haha, not good. Oh well, good times.
The office elders came to help us out and were mocking our protective
golf club and was using it-then bam- he accidentally broke our
lightbulb. Days after our other one burnt out. It's dark. Hhaha but it
made my week.

Naomi cut my hair! She did such a good job! But I've been thinking
about cutting it even more and going dark red since I'm no longer
blonde. Any suggestions?

My days, I am so tired, but in the best kind of way. Sister Tholen and
I just work really well together and Heavenly Father has just blessed
us with so many miracles in such a short amount of time. We have a lot
of high hopes for this transfer and some immediate fruits are popping
all round us, hopefully we can harvest soon!

Emi's Fiftieth Email! January 18, 2016

President doesn't like moving people so if there is anywhere worth
staying half a mission, it's here. I am getting another companion
though! Sister Tholen (sister training leader) who started her mission
here gets to come back! It'll be so good and nice not having to lead
the area anymore!

Another week gone. Getting some more things sorted in the new house,
I'll send photos soon. More work and street displays. 

Eileen is in the hospital.pray for her. 

Our house got inspected and we passed obviously. A lot of things didn't go according to planned this week
but we worked so.

Top 10
1) It snowed!!!!!! Sister N's first experience with it and we got in a snowball fight with some chavs SNOW IS WAY BETTER THAN RAIN,,,,
2) Staying in Oldham AGAIN
3) Mission council thing at the Soungs
4) Dovestones Round 4
5) Chocolate place we got to go to with Laura Sescott!!
6) Some one came to church! Possibilities

I can't really remember what happened this week and I'm a week behind
in my journal but I know that this will be a good transfer. Cold, but
good. I can't believe I've been in this country so long! I still have
tan lines, not that anyone cares, don't think they'll make it all the
way through though. I learned a lot this transfer and I can't wait to
kick some booty next transfer. Ive come to terms I probably won't get
to train. At least the days are getting longer.

I am grateful to know my Savior lives, even when my heart is hard
