Heyuh friends! This week we did some service over in Gateshead with the missionaries in our zone, Operation Flying Eagle has almost gone soaring, Facebook, and James got baptized!
On Wednesday, we were able to do something really cool. We did service in Gateshead, which is just south of Newcastle. I met up with everyone in our zone and we did some service in a park there. It was a lot of fun moving benches, digging holes for trees etc. It's crazy how many different countries the Elders and Sisters come from in the zone and how fun it is to learn about their different cultures.
We met with our bishop for a little this week and started working on this new idea that he has. It's kind of hard to explain over email, but I'll try. It's basically creating a weekly email newsletter to send out to people who's emails that we get. It should be pretty exciting! We're calling it "Operation Flying Eagle" for now.
One thing I forgot to mention in my email last week was that our mission will be using Facebook for online proselyting. We will be getting trained on using it at the end of the month and most of the missionaries are really excited about using it to work with their wards and branches better.
And last but not least, James got baptized!! It's been super busy and rewarding planning it. His young men's leader baptized him and I confirmed him yesterday. So many new cool experiences! After church James got the priesthood and is planning on going on a temple trip with the ward next month, which is super exciting!! Hope you guys have a great week talk to yous later!
Cheers!
