Man so England decided to dump it down this week to make up for all the nice sunny days we had earlier. Like half the week was hardcore rain. So bad that I was wearing two coats and still getting soaked. One nice thing about the rain though is that people take pity on you and will sometimes let you in. We had a lot of good tracting experiences this week because of the wierd weather.
So I don't really know what to say. My mission has been amazing and I wouldn't change any of it. Even the hard parts I consider worth it. Without them I wouldn't be the person I am now. Anyways I'll expand more on this in my homecoming talk. See you all soon (or message if you're in England)!
The funny stuff:
So since my monthly bus pass expired, I just got weeklys for my last bit. Well I had my weekly pass renewed for the day after it expired by accident, so I had to get a day rider pass for one day. I thought I was done making silly mistakes like this.
When we were walking down Oldham road (busy street), we heard someone yell "MORMOOONNNNSSS" and so we looked back, and it was the zone leaders. They must have been coming back from exchanges
So the pass along cards we have are pretty tough under most conditions, but one thing they can't survive is the washer machine. I had like 5 of them in my dress pockets. Card body parts were everywhere.
So we were on the bus and we got off like normal, and then sister Ott and I realized that sister Songer was missing. We looked back and the bus was gone too. We were running around the bus station and sister Ott had just started to call President when we saw sister Songer running towards us. So what happened was that her bag had gotten hooked to the seat, and while she was unhooking herself, the bus started driving away. She managed to get off around the corner though so no biggie. The text to President was pretty funny though.
So as we were waking to a bus stop, we stopped this man and commented on his pin (it was an American flag) and then he tried to give it to us. And he basically tried to pin it onto sister Ott. Sister Songer kept the pin.
So I gave a talk on come follow me on Sunday, and it went pretty well. When I went to walk off the stand though, I slipped and almost fell down the stairs. Scared me real bad.
One of the primary boys (Benjamin) (he's sooooo cute) was getting baptized this Sunday, and during the baptismal service, all the primary kids got up to sing. There were two kids who were clearly brother and sister, and the boy looked about 8ish or 9, and the girl was like 3 and so she was just standing there, and her older brother was moving her mouth while they sang with everyone to make it look like she was singing too. It's was so funny, and all the missionaries were giggling. Classic siblings.
*lots of pictures...Her district..tracting in the rain.. her flat..farewell Temple trip..and my favorite, her worn out shoes. Those aren't even the shoes she took with her at the beginning of her mission. I think those are the 3rd pair of shoes she wore out and those ones are probably only a few months old. Haley got to do lots and lots of walking on her mission.
