Sister Ellie Smith England, Manchester Mission

Helloooooo everybody!! Howzit.  This week was wonderful. Got to go to the temple today and I just feel so lucky to be there on such a beeeautiful day! Also saw my MTC teachers Sister Chapman and Sister Wade!!! Goodness I love them so much it was so good to see them.  This past week we had Zone Conference and I was lucky enough to go to both days to film it. And MAN it was so gooooood. We learned all about teaching as the Savior would. What a powerful teacher the Savior is. Something that really stood out to me was how the Savior asked questions. Crazy fact. Jesus Chirst asked about 300 questions as he taught and has only answered 3. Whaaaat! The importance of questions. They bring so much power into every conversation and that's where the spirit comes into play.  Not going to lie this week was hard but recently I have just felt so grateful and reflecting a lot on my Savior and how close I have been with him recently. I never thought I could love someone so much. I had int...

Howzzzzit everyone. Happy Pday. Hope you are all well and swell.  This week rocked. I am now the videographer/social media sister in the mission with SISTER ROWLAND SHEEEE IS GREAT. I remember when she filmed me coming in Day 1 and I loved her immediately. Look at us know. Filming together.. So good.  Because of this new assignment we are so lucky and get to go to everything to film it. So this week we were able to go film all the incoming missionaries and see them get their trainers which are my bestest friends from the mission so it was sooo much fun. They are gonna be the BEST. Trainers in the world. Love you sisters. Also got to go to Lyme park for missionary graduation for those who just finished training and WOWEW it's beautiful.  Being able to film the incoming missionaries was so fun because it was like I was back to day 1 and got to hear everything President told me when I first came, AGAIN. There were so many things I needed to hear again. Something that re...

Where do you I even begin. God is sooooo so so so so good.  First of all. Im getting transferred again. Shocker but I'm stoked. Going to Stretford and I'm the new EMM videographer what the flipppp! So good. Gonna be the best. With such an amazing companion. Here I come!  I felt an immense amount of joy and had an endless amount of expereinces from Heavenly Father this past week. We were struck with how many ways God astonished us so I want to name just a brief few! 1. We said God would astonish us by 6 friends at church. 30 minutes in...no one. Then SEVEN friends come flooding through the door!!! We hit all of out Key Indicators this week. What a blessing! 2. On Friday we had another miracle. We were street contacting in town and met a man named Daniel. We had a really great conversation with him but he wasn't too interested. He then said, "But my coworker Jimmy is super religious and would love this!" REFERRAL! We had all aligned (mission zoom call) that morning ...

Heeeeey! Super great week. I flippin found a superhero on the bus. 1. Because his name is Marvel. 2. Because he is the most elect person I've ever met.  Met Marvel on an exchange on Saturday and we were just chatting it up and laughing on the bus cracking jokes. Then he said this year he wants to more fully commit to God and wants to be baptized with his WHOLE family THIS year!!!! I knew 2025 would be a good one. Booooya. He's so amazing and we are stoked. God is so good! I'll add a screenshot of his amazing fam.  Happy new year!!!! It's been such a great start to the year. Made some goals and I'm so excited to commit to my Savior. D&C is going to be so good.  Let me know what your goals were!!  Last week of the transfer which is sooooo wild. Pray that I stay here with Sis Hanks! THANKS! Psh that rhymed.  Love you all! Keep rockin over there in the USA or wherever you may be.  I think I might start sending my favorite scripture a week. I promise I'...
