It has been an amazing week. Elder Hoopes and I went on an adventure to film videos in the far reaches of the mission. All of the content we have been putting out on the Consider Christ page has been set in Bristol and Bath, because those are local and easy on travel. That will change here soon though. We left Thursday at 7 AM to and went to Exeter where we dropped off two other missionaries for an exchange. We then continued south two more hours to Helston to a chapel. We filmed the audio of two sisters singing as well as a few shots with members for an upcoming music video. Afterwards, we sent even more south to the farthest southwest corner of the mission to Porthleven. While there we filmed the sisters singing on the beach. Everytime a a group stopped to watch and listen (which was frequently), a set of sisters who came along would talk to them. They had some great conversations and we even had a mini concert at one point right there on the beach by the clocktower. After that we drove to a college town called Falmouth which was a weird blend of England and Florida in my eyes due to the palm trees. While there we filmed another whiteboard video for Mother's Day. We had six sisters with us and we completely dominated one section of road. A person couldn't pass through without receiving a dozen compliments and several questions trying to prompt a convo. We had a couple finding miracles there.
That night we drove north an hour and a half to stay in Plymouth with some other elders. In the morning we went on a walk for our exercise where we saw the steps that the pilgrims walked down to board the Mayflower. We also had lunch in Plymouth at a nice little cafe where we had devon scones and finger sandwiches on fancy tea platters. I felt like I was in a Jane Austen book. The rest of the day was spent traveling to Exeter to film another video, and then back home to Bristol by Friday night so we could get footage for a Relief Society event today. We filmed four videos across five cities and three hundred miles in three days. Now we are looking forward to hopefully seeing four of our friends at church tomorrow so we can keep on teaching them!
Here are pics from last week's P-day, pics from this week will come later since they are on an SD card!
Have a good one!
