Just Continuing the Work

     This week has been fun. It is weird because the weeks fly by and I can't even remember what happened in which week.
with Joyce
     Transfers happened, and I am staying in Leeds! I have mixed feelings about it, but I won't go much into detail. Just that I'm happy Sister Jodicke and I can be companions still. I don't know what I would have done if  I was to lead the area. I could have done it, but it's nice that I don't have to.
     Sister Smith and Sister Jodicke and I have had SO much fun these past two weeks. I can do a pretty convincing Scottish accent, and Sister Smith's is so good. this past week we have been reading all of the signs on the buildings in Scottish and it has been really entertaining. Oh, and I'm getting pretty good at singing in Swedish. It's hilarious.
     This week we have been assigned to teach Natalie, a girl who is being baptized this Friday in another area in Leeds. She's so sweet and has the cutest little boy. I'm excited to work with her before and after her baptism. I love baptisms!
Mushy peas...I don'w know why
they are so popular here but they are!
     It was weird because I really thought I'd be transferred this time around but I wasn't. I said my goodbyes to everyone and now I get to show up at their house and feel awkward, haha. It will be good though.
     President Pilkington spoke at the Mission President's Fireside that happens every month and we were able to go to it on Sunday. He talked about how the blessings of the gospel far outweigh the "happiness" the world seems to entice us with. He said he'd like to gather all of the world's greatest minds, celebrities and scientists, etc. and tell them to come up with the way to make people the happiest. And he then said nothing they could come up with in a mil;lion years would be greater than what we are offered because we have faith, and a knowledge that God exists. It was a remarkable talk he gave. It made me think a lot about how I really don't care about what the world knows about me in the future. As long as I develop my talents, and I do it for me and not for the rest of the world, I will be the happiest.
     I don't know what else to say really, but things with Dennis have been progressing. He is really seeking to know whether this is the truth that we teach him and I know he has felt that it is, he just needs to realize it.
Things are good, just continuing the work.
Love you all,
Sister Lybbert
She loves her cat ears and wears
them all day and EVERYWHERE!
