March 12

WELLLL oh my goodness I have so much to tell you!!! SOOO many favorite and exciting things that happened this week. I shall tell you through pictures..... (ps did you get my pictures? will you upload them on the computer and send me the things back? :) i am sending pictures from sister ho's camera today!)

*No. 4 Privat Drive Surrey is ACTUALLY No. 12 Picketts Post Close Bracknell, Berkshire :D This is the Dursley's home! and us knocking the door... ha ha we walked about 40 minutes to get there with Lexie and we got there and turned the corner and saw Tesco and realized it was actually only about 10 minutes to walk there from our flat ha ha it was a fun adventure

*Saturday we went to the TEMPLE!!!! We took Aigars to the visitors centre and the elders serving in Guilford brougth their investigator (her name is Shannon and she is from New Zealand- she was so cute and we loved her accent!) and we taught Shannon while Elder Culciu (Moldova) and Elder Sutcliffe (New Zealand) taught Aigars!! (Culciu taught him in Russian :)) Sister Aslett, our ward relief society president drove us there and it was such a lovely day!! (It was Shannon's birthday so we made her cookies... that's what that picture is of me and Sister Ho, it was just while we were waiting for sister aslett to pick us up ha ha 






*and last but not least..... president called us on Tuesday morning asking us about Shipon and how he is doing. He said he was going to a mission presidents conference in Germany and that he would be seeing some of the 12 apostles. He told us it was time to get this sorted. He told us he was going to talk to them and ask if Shipon could be baptised. He called us again Saturday saying he wanted to come speak with Shipon after church. Well OF COURSE Shipon couldn't come to church on Sunday because he had to go into London to getsome thigns for a big exam he has today- let me just tell you Shipon never misses church. So we call Shipon and he was just like oh my goodness ok I wil come straight after and see president! So Shipon goes to get on the train to get here, and missed it by seconds. Calls us it was fine because president was running late as well :) so Shipon gets on the train but THEN the train line from London Waterloo to Bracknell for some reaon stopped at Virginia Water- about 5 stops from Bracknell, so then Shipon had to get on a stinkin bus and take the bus from Virginia Water to Bracknell! So president got there and Sister Shamo was just like oh I'm not surprised things always go wrong, that's how you know you are doing something right!! ha ha so anyways Shipon finally got there and went in and talked with president for a while anthen came out and they were both red teary eyes and huge smiles and president told all of us that the first presidency said that Shipon could be baptised finally. Finally!!!!!!! Oh my goodness it was incredible. So we jumped on a train to Reading and met with the district leader there (Elder Cross) so Shipon could have his interview so we could start telling EVERYONE about his baptism this Saturday. :) hooray!!!!!! It was so great. Oh and we got to see the CES fireside as well which they held at BYUI in the center there... it was so weird i had completely forgotten about the new BYUI center! ha ha anyways. man what a good day. what a good week!! pray for shipon! We told him it would be hard this week and he said "it ok, i kill satan!!" ha ha oh so the first picture is me and sister ho this morning being so anxious about what president would say to Shipon and the second picture is all of us right after president told shipon he could be baptised and then us on the train going to Reading for the interview. :D
