My first three days here was a blizzard. The temperature was negative and everyone was freezing. We talked to people and they said it was too cold to talk, so we tracted and they said it was too cold. It is always too cold for the english people.
My companion is awesome! She is actually the first missionary from Cyprus. She hit here nine months on her mission this week and we celebrated by eating donuts and lots of them!
The members in my new ward are very friendly. There are two wards in Chelmsford and people from both wards already know me. There was also an Elder Robertson from Birmingham who served here. So it confuses them.
"With even your strongest faith, God will not always reward you immediately according to your desires. Rather, God will respond with what in His eternal plan is best for you, when it will yield the greatest advantage. Be thankful that sometimes God lets you struggle for a long time before that answer comes. That causes your faith to increase and your character to grow." Richard G Scott

I love the quote that Ruth shared from Elder Scott. It looks like this transfer is an awesome one for her. Tracting in the cold is not fun under any circumstances. It would be nice if the English people invited them in to get warm and hear the gospel. I looks fun to share an area with Elders. They are good to watch over the sisters a bit.
Always love hearing Ruth's report.
Sending hugs Ruth's way!
