SUNNY DAYS - 07/01/2019

Members from Canada that paid for our meal at McDonalds!

OKAY WHAT EVEN HAPPENED THIS WEEK!  I feel like I lose track of my days and it all becomes a blur but this week was sooooo nice!! The weather was AMAZING and I definitely got a little tanner so you know I am happy about that! AHHH SO GOOD I LOVE THE SUN. BUT what an exciting time. WELL for starters, funny story. So we were at a tea appointment with a member and she was driving us to drop us off at the bus station but as soon as we got to the bus station, the bus drove off so we were like oh no! So we followed the bus and passed it and got in front of it and it was quite the adventure because THEN I had to stick my head/body out the window and wave down the bus driver to pull over at the next stop hahaha I'm pretty sure that's against every rule as a missionary but yanno gotta do what I gotta do! BUT classic sister farnworth, it was so funny!! Then the bus pulled over and we got on the bus and everyone was laughing and some people were like we were so confused why a girl was hanging out the window and stuff it was so funny hahaha definitely something I will never forget it was so good!! OH, ALSO area book changed for every missionary in Europe this week! It's rough because we can't write how the lessons went anymore or anything, we can only mark the principles that we talked about and what we committed the people to do. IT'S ROUGH because let me tell you, I have the worst memory in the whole entire world and so that'll be a struggle but it'll be good because I will have a good memory by the time I get home!!! YEET. But yes so that was an exciting time in this week and it'll be an adjustment but it definitely is understandable for privacy purposes!!!

This was a good week with the work though! We are meeting so many great people and having such good conversations. I talked to this one man who said I was gonna get skin cancer and he touched my face and told me to keep the sun off of it so that was fun! And we were tracting one day and we knocked on this man's house and he answered and wasn't interested so we were like oh okay no worries but before we left, Sister Ellsworth was like "well what brings you joy in life?" And homeboy was like "when people don't knock on my door" and it took both of us a second to process but I was like oh hahaha okay well have a good day then we walked away. It was so funny and made me laugh so hard! But that was a good time, people are fun and tracting is like my favorite thing because you meet all different kinds of people and that's just so fun!!! We also met this man that was doing the CO detector in our flat and he was talking to us about New York and 9/11 and it was so neat!! He was the nicest human and we weren't talking about any gospel things but the spirit was so strong and it was just so good. He was great and made our day for sure!!

ALSO, our friends are doing so good, most of them have made so much progress which makes me so happy! One of them has been distancing himself which is sad but he said he needs a minute and he will text us when he's ready so we are praying for him. I literally cried about it because I love our friends and I love this gospel and I just want everyone to be happy and I know this can help them so that was sad!!! AHH but it's okay and itll all end up good so that's okay! THEN we met with a couple returning members this week and they both said they would come to church next Sunday so that was so good!!!! I LOVE THE PEOPLE HERE.

This week was an interesting week, everyone kept canceling and plans kept falling through and buses kept not coming so it was rough. This made me want to study a lot about Charity and Love AND IT'S BEEN SO GOOD. I read Ether 12:33-34 and I just felt so much love!!! Heavenly Father loves us so much and since he loves us he sent his Son who laid his life down for US!! HOW AMAZING IS THAT. I don't know it just makes me think about how loved we are and that just really helps me every single day! Charity truly brings happiness into our lives and it's so important to be charitable every day!!! I LOVE THE GOSPEL AND I LOVE THE KNOWLEDGE THAT WE HAVE. IT'S SO GOOD. I'm so grateful to know that our Savior has that much love for us and I am so beyond lucky to share that knowledge with others!! AHHH I LOVE IT.

Look how pretty!

ANYWHO, I hope you all have a good week!! I'll talk to you next week!

LOVE YOU ALWAYS,
