Hey Everyone, 

Sorry I haven't written a weekly in a while, it has been so busy. I'll just hit the highlights

-3 times this transfer we have housed 14 missionaries in our flat. We had Zone conferences at Gadfield Elm Chapel, the oldest chapel in the world owned by the church

-We are now officially the England Bristol Mission. The split has been crazy. The day after it split we went to Portsmouth and did exchanges with the new zone from the England London Mission. That was our P day, so this is my first p day in two weeks. Also, we went to church in Portsmouth and Bishop Waddell of the Presiding Bishopric happens to show up. Got to shake his hand, talk to him, and he actually asked us for a copy of the Book of Mormon to give to his coach driver. So cool! 

-Had interviews which were revelatory and learned a lot about goal setting and Planning. I've learned the principle of being specific in goal setting, planning, and prayers.

-Connie is preparing to be Baptized August 5th. She is one of the most prepared people I have ever met. I'm learning from her Childlike Faith, and it is inspiring

- Elder Valentine and I have low key almost got jumped by packs of CHAV's this week. Bristol can be kind of Dodgy hahaha.

Hope everyone is doing well, it's another great week!
