exchanges with sister robertson and sister ott!!!

OKAY LETS TALK ABOUT THIS CRAZY WEEK SISTER FARNWORTH HAS HAD. For starters, Monday night we had a little sleepover with some sisters in the mission because they couldn't sleep at their flat and it was so fun!!! THEN Tuesday and Wednesday were the best, hardest days of my life!! SO we were getting ready to go on exchanges with our Sister Training Leaders in Newcastle/Stoke area and my stomach hurt SOOOO bad! I seriously thought I was gonna die BUT I put it off and just decided to carry on with life and we traveled there and it was rough, let me tell ya! Longest trip of my life!!!! THEN we finally got there and my stomach was KILLING me so I got some medicine and carried on with the good old missionary work, which I am so grateful I did because we taught one of their friends and she asked when she could be baptized!!! WHAT???! It was AMAAAAZING. We were so happy!!!!! THEN we went home and the next day (Wednesday) was ROUGH. Here is a little too much information BUT I was sitting there dying because of my stomach and I prayed like 18287297 times that I would just throw up and get this all out of my system!!! WELL, I didn't at that moment but then some elders came and gave me a blessing and it was exactly what I needed so I am SO grateful for them and that they could do that for me because shortly after my prayer was answered and life was good!!!! OKAY I know it sounds wild but it was the best experience because I learned SO much (just like I learn every week). LIKE how much we need the Lord in our lives!!! I know I couldn't have made it through this by myself and I know that He was there for me every step of the way!!! AHHH it was amazing!!! SO GRATEFUL.

zone conference!!

THEN we had Zone Conference and that was an experience! SO we woke up early to go and got a bus and we were waiting at this bus stop for this other bus AND IT DRIVES RIGHT BY US. Hahahahah so we RAN and the elders were on the bus so they talked to the driver and he said he wouldn't stop because it wasn't a stop and he wouldn't wait for us and it was just a MORNING. BUT then Zone Conference was amazing and we talked about our testimonies and how we can plan better and just be better missionaries. I always love Zone Conference so it was just amazing like always!!! I was asked to speak at it (scary!!!!) AND Sister Johnson and I sang so it was an exciting one!! BUT we loved it!!!!

Then we saw the Lord's hand in so many ways on Saturday! One of our friends canceled her meeting with us last minute so we had to hurry and do something else. Well, we decided to go to this town called Buckley (where I use to live) and visit some people who use to be interested but weren't taught anymore AND inactive members. We started knocking on their doors but no one was in SOOO we got to the last one and no answer so I turned and said "mmmm okay let's tract!" so we did!!!! AND IT WAS SO INSPIRED because we made two new friends in the span of three minutes from knocking on those doors down that street!!! What a testament that the Lord is helping us in our efforts AHHH I am so grateful!!!! I love it!!!

The Zoo!! Sister Johnson and our friend!

ALSO FINALLY TO TOP IT ALL OF, we went to the Chester Zoo with our friend!!! It was amazing and she is amazing, she use to work there so she got us free tickets! IT WAS SO NICE. AHHHH this truly was the greatest craziest week of my life!!!

BUT YES. I love this work so much, even when I get sick or a bus driver drives right past Sister Johnson and I. There is seriously nothing better than sharing something you love in a place you love with people you love!!!! I am so lucky and blessed to be a missionary and to know that the Lord is there for me always. He is there for all of you and I can say that without a doubt!!!! A scripture that we talked a lot about this week was in d&c 6:36 (a classic) and it says...

Look unto me in every thought; doubt not, fear not"

The Savior is with us in every thought!!!! I KNOW IT! I can promise that when we rely on Him and TRUST Him, He will help us and He just waiting for us to ask for it!!! AHHH SO GOOD OKAY. Everyone have the best week, I'll talk to you next week!!!

LOVE YOU ALWAYS,

sister farnworth
