All the missionaries we are generally around went to Coventry and then Birmingham for Zone Conference trainings this week while we stayed back. It was nice having some time to really focus on our area instead of going and training with them like we did last transfer. We have even been able to tract just about every day this week. Even the content schedule fell into place perfectly to the point where we have a small backlog of videos building up. Elder Hoopes and I are getting much better at filming quickly and in great quantity!

Tracting the Neighbourhood

Sunday Visitors
Every missionary understands how hard it can be to help people come to church. Meeting throughout the week? Easy. Reading the Book of Mormon? Easy. Coming to a service Sunday morning? Sometimes it seems impossible. Many times they sleep in, or get cold feet, or life happens and something comes up.

Elder Hoopes and I have made a goal to teach more this transfer than ever before. This week was definitely a success. We had a couple points where it didn't seem likely lessons would happen, but miracles happened and they did.
Staying at the Office Elder's Flat
First off, before I get into all the new changes for these coming six weeks, go and check out the latest video on Finding Christ in the UK! We got it finished in the nick of time, wrapping up the captions just last night! There is also another video on that same page coming out tomorrow featuring a unique song written by a sister who just went home. So check that one out too!
The SMS can help!!!!
With this transfer coming to a close, things at the office have gotten really busy. On top of that, the senior missionary couple on the office went home for a couple weeks to take care of some things. Since they were gone, the office companionship took over their jobs, which resulted in them being incredibly busy so we stepped up to help them too. We have one exchange this week where all three of us went seperate places. Elder Hoopes went up north to help one office elder furnish flats, Elder Hopkins went to Downend to be with a missionary who's companion was going to the London temple before he went home, and I stayed with the other office elder in the office so he could do his administrative things and I could lead a technology council meeting.
New Flat
Hey everyone! We have had a chaotic last couple of days so I am relieved it is P-day! Basically, we try and post two videos a week, one inspirational video and one music video. We had our weekly plan set up to where we could film on Wednesday, edit Thursday, and have it scheduled to come out on Saturday for the inspiring one, and Sunday for the musical one. The problem is, we couldn't film until Thursday, which actually would be fine (but a little close) because we could just edit Friday. Well, that was the plan until the AP's messaged us and asked if we could take care of a service project and lesson for them on that day because they were away for Zone Conferences. We definitely gave those things priority, but now we are rushing to get some social media work done. It is a good time though, and we are making plans to be better prepared in the future!
