AH WE GOT TO SEE PRESIDENT AND SISTER MCREYNOLDS - 07/13/2020

Seeing the McReynolds!!

YES, YOU READ IT RIGHT MY FRIENDS. The McReynolds did a little mission tour and we got to see them and talk to them!!! ALL socially distanced of course but it was so incredible. I love them TOOOOO much!!!! We just talked and left and cried and had all the good and it was incredible. They are the best humans EVER. AND I will miss them! Their flight planes came and they will be going home on July 31st SO we will have a substitute mission president OR a miracle will happen and President and Sister Johnson will make it here!!! SO EVERYONE KEEP ON PRAYING OKAY THANKS!

We also had some incredible splits with the Sisters! OH MY GOODNESS I JUST LOVE THEM. They truly help me to learn and to grow more than they know and I am so grateful for them!!! I got to call Sister Torres, Sister Lawson, Sister Christenson, AND do a lesson with Sister Lundkvist! It was busy but definitely made for one happy Sister Farnworth! I just love them and I am grateful to have the opportunity to call them so often!!! THEY ARE THE BEST.

We love them!!

THEN we also had a miracle referral!!! SO we got a call from my past companion, Sister Buck, and she told us her friend in the Scotland/Ireland mission had a referral for us!!! SO we got to visit the referral on Thursday and she is AMAZING. We gave them a Book of Mormon and she wants to get baptized, along with her son! Isn't that SO HAPPY!??? AH it was incredible and I just feel so grateful because the Lord is truly on our side and His work goes forward!!!! I LOVE IT.

Splits!!

OTHER THAN THAT, this week was okay!! It definitely had its ups and downs but I am learning a lot and becoming the human God needs me to be!!! SO that is happy. I am just grateful for the Saviour and His Atonement. He is truly my Best Friend and helps me more than I probably know! There is a scripture I read today that I love in 1 Nephi 22:15-16 that says...

"yet will I not forget thee,... behold, I have graven thee upon the palms of my hands"

OKAY simple but powerful. Christ will never forget about us, He is always there. He will always lift us up when we need it (and even when we don't)!!!! He is there for all of us and I am so grateful to know that! OKAY, YOU'RE ALL THE BEST AND I HOPE YOU HAVE A FANTABULOUS WEEK.

LOVE YOU ALWAYS,
sister farnworth

THREE AND A HALF MONTHS LATER.. - 07/06/2020

GREGGS after 3.5 months!!

WELL my friends, it has officially been three and a half months of lockdown AND England is out of it!!!! ALL the shops are open (I even got to go to my favorite food place) and we are HAPPY. It honestly has felt unreal and it seems a little wild when you genuinely think of all that is going on in the world! We are definitely just counting our many blessings!!! AH, what a time to be a missionary!!!

Shopping..finally!

BUT this week was a good, good week!!! We started it off with a lil sister's lunch where basically we all Zoom called in and ate food and had a lot of laughs!!! AH I love my mission. Then we went on a GOOD five mile walk to meet a friend!!!! When we got back home I was real tired but it was so worth it!! She just wants to get baptized so we are PRAYING for a miracle (because basically, you can do most things but no baptisms)!!! BUT it was fun!!

Oh oh oh ALSO we had a lil fourth of July BBQ with a recent convert!!! It was SO fun! SO since lockdown has eased up, both missionaries in the area can go to a tea appointment so it was us, the Elders, and a recent convert and it was so fun. I love me some burgers!!!! We also had some skewers and sausage and S'MORES! AH, it was incredible but England didn't let us forget we were in England because the weather was still classic English weather 🤷🏽‍♀️ BUT that's okay!!!! We are still happy!!!

Celebrating the 4th of July

THEN to finish the week we were able to take the Sacrament and OH MY GOODNESS. It was a spiritually emotional time to be alive!!! I couldn't stop crying, we went to a members and we bore our testimonies and it was amazing! God is good!!!! I love Him and I love my Saviour, they are the greatest. It was the happiest moment to be alive. AH so incredible!!! Then the finally of the week was the Why I Believe Devotional which was incredible as always!!! Here is nothing better than hearing the testimony of recent converts :))

Calls with the Sisters!!

SPLITS!!

WELL, WHAT A HAPPY WEEK!!! I could jump for joy all day because of the joy I felt this week!!! It reminds me of a scripture in the Book of Mormon in Alma 5:26 and it says...

"And now behold, I say unto you... if ye have experienced a change of heart, and if ye have felt to sing the song of redeeming love, I would ask, can ye feel so now?"

AH this week was definitely a week where I have felt like singing the song of redeeming love!!! The gospel of Jesus Christ has changed my life for the good and I am so beyond GRATEFUL!!!!! I just love it all so much!!! IT IS INCREDIBLE. BUT yes I hope you all have a good week!!!!

LOVE YOU ALWAYS,
sister farnworth

Gotta love the weather in England..sunny and storming
at the same time!!
