Teaching in Chinese and Jousting!

Hey there, how are yous! These weeks are flying by and mushing
together, but it was a good week nonetheless. I shared the gospel with
Chinese people, turned 21, watched some jousting, and found a lot
more Geordies to teach!
     

It's mental that this transfer is already coming to an end. We'll
be getting transfer calls this Saturday. It's a strange feeling,
because this coming one will be my final one. So we will see where and
who the Lord places me with!
     

This week I was privileged with going on an exchange with the
Chinese Elders. And we did some Chinese finding. It was
loads of fun! I learned how to say, "I'm from America" in Chinese.
Every time I would say it, I would get a funny reaction. I took a
little video during my extravaganza of a day.
     

We are teaching a load of new people this week. So that means we
did a lot of finding this week. Elder Kearl and I are proper being led
by the Sprit, but it's just the matter of helping these people get to
church. Loads of lessons are lined up this week. I'll let you know how
it goes next week.
     

For P Day / my birthday, we went to Alnwick to watch jousting!! It
was ace! Nothing is better than having fun in the sun with your mates!
It's getting very difficult to email, but I hope yous have a brill
week, cheers!

Driving and Castle Hopping!

Hi there. It's been another Belta week here in Geordieland! We had loads of meeting this week, went castle hopping, and did some service in Gateshead.
    

One little extra thing. After the long wait and hard work, I finally have my driving licence...... haha. I still accidentally sit in the passengers seat every once in a while, but I'm pretty used to the roads here now.
    

This week we had Zone Conference and MLC over in Leeds. Loads of meetings makes the week fly by. During Zone Conference, the departing missionaries of the nest transfer, gave their Testimony to all of the missionaries. All of the people in my group were like, "Next Zone Conference it's going to be us up there!" That's so mental to think that I only have one more Zone Conference and time is flying by.
    

This week we did some service with some other missionaries over in Gateshead. Basically what we did was sweep the extra gravel and dirt off a tennis court. I got a gnarly blister on mi hand but it was a blast.
    

In Newcastle for missionary work, we are hunting out new people to teach. But in the our zone there should be 5 baptism on the 19th of May!!
    

On P-Day we went castle hopping and got some really cool pictures at the Alnwick and Bamborough Castle.... Champion! Also, hope all of those mothers in America have a well good Mother's Day.
I'll be Facetiming mi mummy. Cheers!
