Sister Ellie Smith England, Manchester Mission

WHAT IN THE WORLD. My very last email. WHAAAA My heart is absolutely exploding. It's really hard for me to express my gratitude in this email so I will keep it short. WHAT A RIDE it has been to serve the Lord here in England the last 18 months. This has been the happiest I have ever been in my entire life. The people here have brought me closer to Jesus Christ more than anything in my life. I AM SO GRATEFUL I CANT SAY MUCH MOOOOREEEE  Thank you all so much for being such rockstars and cheering me on each and every day. I have felt your love and prayers every time I am on my knees praying for more strength. Also, thank you for all the emails, especially this week! I have received and read every single one of them even though I haven't been able to respond. They have carried me and lifted me more than you will know.  Just want to share how much I love the Savior of this world. I have such a strong testimony of this work.

I wanna write down a lot more thoughts but I will next week for my last email.  Last thing, I sang in my last Christmas concert this weekend and I want to share a really special experience I had.

WOOOOOOOWOOOWOOOOOWOOO another week chomped.  This week was so very not that awesome but lit at the same time.  New comp is HERE. Reveal....... She is her. Sister Warbrick is awesome and it's been an absolute blast. I am so luuuucky to end my mission with her. God is so good. We are still running up the referrals and to be honest it's making me go a bit crazy. It's hard not to wish to be out in the streets buttttt this is where the Lord wants me. So I'll take it! It was Thanksgiving this week???!!! Did you know? Sister Warbrick and I have been talking a lot about how much we love gratitude. Why does it get so overlooked? We have SO much in our lives to be grateful for. I'm so grateful for everything in my life, even the smallest of things.  It is not joy that makes us grateful, it is gratitude that makes us joyful!!! Learned that one this week. Eeeeooooo so good huh Love you all! See you in literally 2 weeks what the flip... so nuts!! Cheeeeeers Sister Smith
