Weekly Update

Sorry for such a lame short email... haha but I am just emotionally and physically and mentally exhausted! But I figured I would jsut type up a couple things to throw in here just so that you would all know that I am still alive and kickin!

Sarah is getting baptized this Saturday! I am so excited! Her story is incredible. She is such an example of faith to me. And she's also my kindred sister... we're kind of the same person. So I just love her haha So if you could all keep Sarah in your prayers this week so that everything can go according to plan that would be wonderful!!!

I finally had my first "All English Breakfast". It's different.. haha but it is good! They have like bacon, and toast, and sausages, and beans, and eggs, and hash browns, and tomatoes... and I think I've got everything.. oh and fry bread! Yepp that should be everything lol Also, as for new words here in England they have this drink called "squash" here which I think is the equivalent to orange juice in America. Except they just call it squash here. ha

Something that is unique about England is that whenever you are on the phone with someone and you are saying goodbye, they always say goodbye like a dozen times before you hang up! I love it! ha and it seems as though every English person does it!

I love it here in England and especially in Crewe! The ward is fantastic.. and I know that I'm beginning to say it every week, but they truly are my home away from home! I love all of them! They have welcomed me and treated me like family and I will just always consider this place as my second home. I love it :)

OH! And this week I got my first raw foot! Well, I mean that I walked so far that my feet started to crack and bleed... I know. It's disgusting. haha but hey! "Sacrifice brings forth the blessings of Heaven.." I hope you all started to sing that in your head as you read it :)

But we were late for an appointment and the buses don't run on Sundays and so we basically had to power walk/jog for at least an hour straight. I swear I'm going to have Olympic shin/calf muscles by the time I get home. But yeah, my feet were aching but I didn't want to stop and look and so when we finally got to the appointment I looked and my feet were bleeding! yikes!

All is well though :) I can't believe I will have hit my four month mark this week though! CRAZY!

I love you all and pray for you all of the time :)

God Bless!

Loads of love from England,

Sister Reed
