This sister is a real missionary!!! (April 10th 2017)

Hello everyone! It was actually a pretty rubbish week here in Lancaster. P-day last week was really good we did some shopping and hung out with the elders and played sports which are always super fun. Tuesday I went on my very first exchange so Sister Menlove and I traveled down to South Ribble and went with Sister Fernandez and Carle. It was really great and I learned so much from them and they're just the sweetest! We had to come back early on Wednesday though because our zone had interviews with President Ulrich. That was sooooo good, just being able to sit down with him and chat about things that are happening (or not happening in our case ha-ha). He's incredible! 

Super funny and very embarrassing story from this week that I'm reluctant to share but why not! There is a thing here in the EMM that if you pee your pants while out tracting, you're a real missionary. Well, folks.....sister Washburn is a real missionary! Yay! We were getting ready to stop by a less-actives home to say hi and stuff and we were laughing so hard about something and I had to pee really bad and it just happened. Thankfully it was at the very end of our night so we could just go home! Oh well! Gives me something to laugh at!

The rest of the week was pretty boring... we did a few street displays in town and those are always a lot of fun! Just being out and talking to people is really nice and refreshing rather than going door to door and having everyone yell at you and slam the door in your face. Gotta love missionary work!!!! If you're reading this email today, if you're a member of the church or not, just always be kind to the missionaries if you see them. It seriously means the world to me when I come across decent people who respect me as a person. Even if they're not interested in hearing a message about the gospel, just being shown kindness is enough for me! 

The good weather didn't last here in England... surprise, surprise! It’s cold, rainy, and windy today and it's supposed to just get worse throughout the week! Yay!!!!!! This AZ girl is freezing cold! Hot chocolate helps though hahaha and we have a fireplace in our flat that we like to turn on whenever we're home! Pray for me and that I stay warm and dry ha-ha!

Transfer calls come on Sunday so I'll know if I'm staying with Sister Menlove (praying I do!!) so I will definitely let you know what happens next week! Love you all and hope you have a great week. Sorry that my life in Lancaster isn't super exciting. But I can say that even though the work is hard, it's all worth it. The gospel has blessed my life in so many ways and I know that it's true! This Sunday is Easter and I encourage all of you to think of how Jesus Christ has affected your life. And if you aren't sure, take a look at the church's video this year that’s on mormon.org! It's amazing! I know my Savior lives and that He loves each and every one of us!!!! And know that I love you all ❤

Cheerio!

Sister Washburn
