What we didn’t realise, and we’re not sure that Soeur Holt did either, is that even at this early stage of her last transfer there will be a series of ‘last’ things. A couple of events of the past week have highlighted just how short the time is. This was the last Zone Conference of…

Learning the voice of the Spirit…
An experience this week shows that even after 17 months Soeur Holt is able to recognise that there are things she can learn. Following up from General Conference I have been studying through certain talks this week and I have truly been uplifted through the counsel and word of modern day prophets, leaders and teachers….
The best laid plans…
The best laid plans and all of that! Sometimes the missionaries have everything in place and a spanner is thrown into the works. This past week it was their pday where they tried to go to a historical site that was supposed to be really cool but was actually closed so I used the mentality…

Heavenly Father has created all of his children differently but loves every single one.
This week President Herrington has invited us to be finding 10 contacts each and every day. This links with the desire of Soeurs Holt and Soeur Tepapatahi to be speaking to everyone they come into contact with. We have really latched onto this and have really been working hard while we walk to take the…
Distance makes the heart grow fonder!
On Monday evening in Manchester, our home town, we experienced an horrendous terrorist attack. This took place at the Manchester Arena which is a venue we have all visited many times for sporting and music events. For Eleanor, most recently, she attended a Summer Live event with various artists performing. Although Manchester has been the subject of…
