It was an alright week. This past week we went to a little town in my area called Downham, which has a lot of church history. Apparently missionaries there weren't having very much success, but then they sent the apostles here and ended up baptizing hundreds of people. Also when Elder Holland had the inspiration to build a temple in Chorley (the preston England temple) while in Downham, he prayed under a tree and saw where the temple should go. So we went and got pictures under the tree haha. Well we dont know if it was actually the tree, we just guessed haha. It's probably not the tree tbh, we would be very lucky if we picked the right tree. Downham was also super big for witches a while ago, I heard theres been a bunch of movies made in and about Downham which is pretty interesting
Burnley is actually a super nice area, there's lots of good scenery and places to go hiking. We went hiking this morning up this place called Pendle hill which I guess is where they executed witches before? Maybe? I could be wrong but it's a super tall hill that overlooks a valley, and they made another movie up there about witches haha
Other than that we've just been super busy! We have a new friend we put on date last week which is really exciting so we've been busy with that and just teaching people all day. Transfers are also next week so I guess we'll see what happens
