Saying goodbye to my mother. We were crying, so this picture is a little rough. Don't judge.

Sister Hymas, my best friend from the MTC! Glad I got to see her on moves day. I think I'm gonna make this the official Sis Jacobsmeyer pose.

Just Another Manic....Tuesday. 28 May 2013

Hiya, you alright?

That's how English people say what's up. I'm really working on my English vocabulary because they just say things so much better over here. I love it.

So the last week of my first transfer has come to a close. Puke. That six weeks went WAY too fast. But the end of the transfer meant another first: my first moves calls. So the President figures out where he wants everyone to go, then he calls all the zone leaders and tells them the specifics for the members of their zone, then the zone leaders call us and put us on a conference call and announce it all. But if you are doing anything drastically different, President calls you beforehand. So we were walking out of a dinner appointment last night at like 8:30 when the phone rings and guess who it was? President Jordan. And then he told us what was up. Would you like to know? Drumroll please....................................

I'm staying in Bedford. WOOHOO! Except less of a woohoo because Sister Webster is not. She is moving to St. Albans for her last transfer with Sister Finch. I'm reeeeaaaallly bummed because I really wanted to be the one to kill her off. So if Sister Webster is leaving who does that leave me with, you ask? Great question. Sister Jones from my MTC group will be coming to Bedford and we're gonna follow up train each other. Yikes. I love Sister Jones, she is great. This means I'll be the one that has to know where we are going and I'm not too great at directions. That's ok, I've got a map.

So the rest of my week is lookin like this: I'll be in London tomorrow to switch companions and go to a training meeting so Sister Jones and I can figure out how the heck we are supposed to do this. Then Friday night we havea performance at a fireside at the Hyde Park chapel. So I'm all up in London. Again. It's gonna be great!

So one reason I'm excited to stay in Bedford is this new investigator we have named Patrick. So we got a media referral this week, like a guy put his info into mormon.org. So we went out to have a lesson with him and he is AWESOME. Most prepared person ever. We taught him the Restoration, he accepted a Book of Mormon without hesitation, and we set a baptismal date. All in the first lesson! And immediately after the lesson he was asking when he could go on a mission and how he could start a branch in Cranfield! He came to church and looked like he was already a member. I'm excited to see where things go with him.

That's about all I've got for you all this week. Remember on the "Write me" page how it says only email if it is urgent? Disregard that. Email me whatever you want. But don't make it a novel. Also, I like pictures.

Ok, love you all! Cheerio!

May 20th Picture Post!

I'm baaaaaack. 20 May 2013

Did ya miss me?

I've been extremely busy these past two weeks, and last Monday I didn't get a chance to email because I was in London all day. And then again on Wednesday. And then again on Friday. Sound like I've been in London a lot? Because I have. Let me explain...

So I guess in my letter to President Jordan before I came, I mentioned my music and gave him my soundcloud url, and then I forgot about it. So I get here, and like 4 elders were like, "Sister Jordan showed us your music, it's really good!" And I was like oh brother how embarrassing, why did I do that. But anyway, there's a musical group in the mission that does firesides and sometimes goes busking in the city, and President asked me if I'd be interested in joining so of course I was like heck yeah! So Monday, we had rehearsal at President's flat, and it was super fun! We had a fireside on Friday night, so that's why I went on Friday. On Wednesday we performed at Zone Conference, and then of course we were there for zone conference all day anyway. So that's the story about that. I'm pretty pumped about it! But it also means that I have to sell my soul to travel to London all the time. Expensive.

BUUUUT last Monday when we went, we got there a little early, so we went to Abbey Road and Big Ben! It was epic! Yes, we took a crosswalk picture. Didn't turn out great because it's an actual road with actual traffic. But still cool. The previous Wednesday, the 8th, we were in London for a new missionary meeting, where they basically were checking up on us to make sure we were doing ok and our trainers were doing ok, but we got there early for that and went to Trafalgar Square! Another cool thing (especially since that's where the last HP premiere was.)

It's been a great few weeks though! Sorry I don't have much more to say about it, I'm bad at remembering details. And I don't have too much time, I'll just let the pictures speak for themselves.

In other news, congrats Noelle on getting engaged! And Carmina on being pregnant! And Austrie on coming home! Hey Aus, will you check your mission email because that's what I'm replying to you on, so just check that and let me know your real person email haha.

Next week is moves, so our PDay will be on Tuesday, so I won't be writing until then.  Peace and blessings!

My Friends and Fellow Sisters

These three ladies in the picture with me (sorry guys, it's the only one I could find of just the four of us) are some of my very closest friends and I love them dearly. They have made the decision to serve missions also, and I'm so excited to be in the field with them and hear about their successes.

Shannon (Harry Potter) is going to Everett, Washington and leaves here in a couple days.

Natalie (the tall one) doesn't have her call at the time I'm writing this, so she probably hasn't left yet.

Alexa turns 19 in June, so as of right now she hasn't started her papers.

I love you girls, and I'm so proud of you. Good luck in a few days, Shannon, you will be amazing! And good luck Natalie and Alexa whenever you guys report.

Alma 17:13 - "...They separated themselves and departed one from another, trusting in the Lord that they should meet again at the close of their harvest; for they supposed that great was the work which they had undertaken."
