Walker, Ellie PT

Wow this week was honestly just a whirlwind. Just remember lots of gnawing. So let's see how this goes. We had exchanges and they went really well! I stayed here in Bournemouth and we had a really good day! We were visiting members who live really far away from us where the buses don't go, so we had our senior couple give us a ride. We had a couple really cool miracles visiting some people we didn't really plan on, and it made their day. And then we came back and later that day we went to a relief society activity. There is a lady named Margaret who is now my favorite. She was making me and Sister Baker laugh sooo hard. She was gnawing on her Twix bar and telling us how crazy and how to climb up a mountain. I love her so much. She brought so much light to my week and let me have a good laugh.  We got to meet with our friend Dustin again, and we taught him the plan of salvation! It was a really good lesson, and then he came to church! So that's amazing and he's progr...

Wow this week honestly feels like such a blur. It went by so fast, and I can't even remember everything that happened. So this will be fun lol.  Last week we had exchanges and those were really fun! I gotta stay here in Bournemouth and hang out with Sister Hannig. Something I have realized since being out on my mission is that I have no idea how to proportion how much food to cook. I had a whole bag of pasta and I didn't know how much we were going to eat so I just cooked the whole bag. It wasn't until after I put the whole bag of pasta in that I found out it would probably be too much pasta. So leftovers for days lol. Other than the pasta, our exchange went really well! We met up with our friend Dustin, and we just got to know him a little better, and gauge his interests haha. Good news is that we are pretty sure he is actually interested in the church.  Not a whole lot else happened this week. We had a ward football (soccer) game this week which was a lot of fun. I'm ...

Ahhhh what a week. This week was pretty good!! There were some pretty crazy things! As you can tell by my subject line we had ANOTHER freaking finger incident. Literally I've learned my lesson and I won't complain about fingers ever again. So what happened was we woke up Wednesday morning to go do service at some place called Hope for food. And this lady told us to go "fiddle" with the front desk and make it look nice. So Sister Routt was holding this wine glass, and there was a metal thing on the top shelf that kept falling down. Yall probably know what happens. Yep it fell down onto the glass and a pretty big piece went into Sister Routt finger. Ouch. So she pulled the chunk of glass out and I got to be Dr. Walker. I think the best part was that I didn't pass out. We were on the phone with our mission nurse (Sister Sawyer who I love so dearly and was in the same area as me so she knows me pretty well) and she was so happy when she heard that I didn't pass ou...

Okay okay... I better hurry and explain the subject line because I know that God does love us equally;) Both places where I was born are getting a temple!! I was actually born in Cleveland Ohio, but on my mission I was "born" (meaning it was the first area) in the heart of Birmingham. So that was such a fun experience and I actually screamed when they announced Birmingham was going to get a temple. So I'm so excited that we are getting more temples!!  Okay now that I've explained myself I'm gonna start. This week was pretty good!! So I went to the beach!! It was sooo pretty, and I feel so blessed to be in such a beautiful area. The only sad thing is that my hands got superrrrr cold. The tip of my finger actually turned purple, and the palm o f my other hand was blue. I don't know why God loves giving me issues with my hand tbh. Must be some funny joke or something. I just wanna catch a break. It's okay though we went and warmed my hands up at good ole Mcdo...
