Week 45! Guess who's been offending Jesus for almost 12 years?

Did you all guess? So the message that struck me the most from general conference was the talk President Nelson gave on the name of the church. We are members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. When we call ourselves by any nickname, we leave out the most important person in this church, our Savior himself. The name change is more than telling people that we're Christians, it is giving the respect to Jesus. One of the covenants we make in baptism is to take His name upon us, and if we don't refer to ourselves by the proper name, we are not doing that.
Other than that, I really had a nice week. We got to give a Temple tour to AL and Jacob and AL pretty much guessed everything that happens on the temple so not much to teach there, haha. Also transfers have come up, and I will be going to Swinton in Manchester city with sister Sawatee from Thailand. Sister Paschens New companion will be sister Taft. 
Funny moments:
So I just found out that they aren't telling us transfer plans until Monday night WHICH RUINS EVERYTHING
So the clock tower in Chorley is very festive apparently. They put up Halloween colored lights on for each side of the clock. It makes navigating the streets pretty easy.
I was on exchange with sister Poussard this Tuesday and after tea we were helping some members move their bed sets. I almost fell down the stairs twice in the process.
Miracle of the week: leaving my umbrella at McDonald's, having an hour long appointment, and coming back to see the umbrella in the same exact place where I left it. The church is true folks.
According to word web (dictionary app) We are protestants
So our flat building had problems this week and we went without heating o hot water. Heating is fine, I can just get a blanket, but having to take an ice cold shower when it's ice cold in the flat is a struggle. A lot of yelling was involved.
It's ladybug season and ladybugs are everywhere. EVERYWHERE. I'm constantly picking ladybugs off of myself and sister Paschen. They always seem to aim for your hair too.

*Pictures..Haley met a couple who are from Fresno. Their last name is Edwards. Haley didn't say if they were just visiting England or if they live there now.
