I’m not at all familiar with blogging, but why not have a go, seeing how it is a good way for anyone who wants to see what we are up to. Certainly we will cease the internet with so much interest! 

To get used to using a few tools, I’ll highlight just a few goings on that are pretty recent.

This is going to be super boring😂 but it’s a test run! 

We met with stake president a couple nights ago . About a 2 hr meeting. He’s really really sweet and so impressive. He told us he felt we were here to serve the young single adults …. So that is our assignment! YSA, Yay! There are like 400 ysa on the stake role but only 40 active in the stake. 

So we will circle the stake going to the different wards on Sundays. Looks to be 7-8 units.  For the first time we visit, such as this Sunday, we will call ahead and make an appointment with an EQP and RSP and to discuss their YSA and get lists of names of the actives and not so active and we will try to track down the less actives telling them the stake president has asked us to come show them a 10 minute video.  It’s a wonderful little video called “One By One” , perhaps I shall link it in here) The SP basically  wants us to develop the YSA program and help develop their leadership skills. There are a lot of older people all around and they are losing so many singles who should be the future leaders, eventually!

They have tricky laws here. Dad has to be called as the stake exec secretary by the stake president JUST to be able to access the stake roster for tele’ numbers and addresses due to privacy laws in England. Peeps info can’t be made public unless they give out the information personally UNLESS the stake secretary (actually a senior missionary) accesses the records without the stake president looking. Nudge wink. Ha he will be called for that purpose only says the SP-

We will then meetleaders as we travel the stake to inquire of these people then go gather them into the  British fold, we will. 

And also we will be working with young missionaries we are assigned to mentor and help them master specific teaching skills . Lots of role playing. They are fun to work with. We meet Friday with a senior couple in charge of that program. 

Weather gorgeous. So far zero rain...except 10 minutes while driving home yesterday. 

No worries driving in the dark as it literally doesn't get dark till like 10 pm. Driving is still horrifying, but we get better bit by bit.

Next we will send funner tidbits and pics😏
