Glad I don't live on Hoth

Dear Mum and Everyone,
I do not miss the Canadian weather. I don not want to have to drive on icy roads, or feel like I'm living on planet Hoth [Star Wars reference], or any of that. Although, I'm getting tired of the rain as well. It is just plain cold here regardless of if it rains or not. But, I am embracing the beautiful fog and moss, and green-ness.
     It has been a great week. good news everybody, Eddie is being baptized this Saturday! I am so grateful to be a part of this experience, it is so exciting to see someone progress in the gospel and desire to make covenants with their Father in heaven. We have also had some neat experiences while finding, and we had a great miracle on Friday. We had been trying to meet with Syllene and Amare her daughter) a couple of times this past week and it fell through both times. It was such a great blessing though, because as we went to the appointment we had set up on Thursday, she was just stepping out the door (so..we caught her at the right time!). We invited them to a Ward Party (for Bonfire Night a.k.a. Guy Fawkes Night) and they came! It was brilliant. Syllene asked us questions the entire time, the ward was really friendly, and she is really looking forward to seeing us on Friday. Guy Fawkes night is quite interesting... googling it would probably explain it better than I can. He was a guy who tried to burn down Parliament, so now, for some reason, they have a holiday for it? They have bonfires and fireworks, and they eat pork pie with mushy peas and mint sauce (interesting combo, but it was good nevertheless) I love mint sauce, by the way. I will have to bring some home with me.
     So, we have seen many miracles and Sister Garrett is doing so well. I can't believe she's only been out for as long as she has, she is doing amazing in lessons, and in finding situations.
I am grateful about how everything is going. :)
I love you all,
Love,
Sister Lybbert :)

Oh dear! I forgot to tell you something crazy! A few of the members in our ward saw myself and Elder Hays on the telly! (our companions were nearby, we were just the only two they recognized) It was on a preview for a program on Yorkshire politics or something. Apparently we were just walking down the street, but nevertheless, we are famous!
