Hey Everyone,
Crazy things have been going on nevertheless this week has been a fantastic week. I am in love with Stevenage. (My new area) And My companion is Elder Carder (From Wales) He is a funny British man. We served around each other at the beginning of his mission last year. (he makes me feel really old) So I went up to the top floor of the chapel which is the mission office to speak to President and he assigned me to Stevenage which he told me the night before but what he didn't tell me was that I was going to have Elder Carder as a companion which was a great relief because elder carder is great. Elder Carder got the call that morning and he drove the two hours down to London and we made the switch of phones with the other elders. So then Elder Carder asks me, how long have you been in Stevenage. I look at him with amazement and said "as long as you have". We have whitewashed the area. Neither of us have ever been here. It has been great and we have been working so hard. Elder Carder is the first missionary I could share the load with since last July with Elder Tobia. So it has been amazing.
Something that made me laugh this week was my Companion's British Humor I can't handle it sometime. I will have to film it so you can have a laugh as well. So good example before we went to the Chapel we felt prompted to knock on a door. As we approach the door and knocked he looked at me and said, "if it's a pretty girl will you do it?" when the door opened a lady with.........inner beauty (to put it positively) Opened. Elder carder said "well guess this one's mine." The lady wasn't interested and I couldn't hold my laughter as we got to the chapel. He was stoic in his appearance.
Something that made me think this week was Do people in the Terrestrial and Telestial Kingdom continue to commit sin? This was asked by a 15 year old we are teaching (very smart). came to the conclusion That no they can't.
Anyways I really have to run to an appointment
Love YOU

Hello Everybody,
So Valentines day was just like any other day which I don't mind too much. I kinda forgot that it was actually. Then I saw all the people standing outside Tube Stations with Balloons shaped like hearts and Roses. Oh well. So my address is the mission home address just send stuff there I will get it when I come into the office. Bad News I am being emergency transferred. I am going to Stevenage (outside of london :( Not too excited about it because I just sort of got to know this place and the members. But it wasn't meant to be I am being sent back out. No worries though I'm not too far and I might move in another 3 weeks so we'll see when it happens. Thank you for the Journal prompts I really can't think of anything to write especially since I am moving and this place has been slowly starting to pick up a bit.
One thing I saw this week was The outside of the Royal Albert Hall which is right next to the chapel and I walked around it and thought ( I want to perform there someday)
One Thing I heard this week was the things you hear people speak in London. Not English. They Speak Portugese French German Hindi Tamil Arabic Urouba ebo zulu polish russian latvian Mandarin Chinese japanese and about 40 other languages.
One Thing I have smelled this week was a Multi Stake youth dance HAHA So basically the masking of sweat caused by dancing in a non air conditioned building with cheap cologne/perfume. Oh the chosen generation, how they make our nose hairs burn.
One Thing that I have tasted this week was Ben's Cookies. A warm gooey chocolate chip cookie from the master chefs at Ben's. I treated myself to something real nice. And I hope to do so in Celebration again sometime.
One Thing I touched this week was The Scars of The Victoria Albert Museum. Caused by the bombings of World War II the damage can still be seen on the museum and it reminds those of us who live now, that it has been given to us by those who fought then.
I will let you know if anything exciting and great happens as I go to my new area. I Need to send you my memory Card or cards. So that way I can use up another full card before I finish. I hope that you are all feeling better and that things are going well for you. Remember I will speak to you on mother's day in Three months and then it will be an month and a half and you'll see me again.
With Love

Hey Misty and Family
That is great that Dad came down to visit. Man I wish Dad took us shopping. Reminds me of Bill Cosby. "Money for the Children....well five children came out of nowhere shhooom. I asked my father for a nickel for the school picnic he would tell me his life story of how he ate dirt for thirty years and he was thankful to eat that dirt." Anyways. That is great that the Kids and Dad had a great time. This week has been my first week in my new area Hyde Park. We have a lot of work to do to get this place going. It has been very difficult leaving London North, I loved that place and didn't really want to go. So I have been a bit distraught but nonetheless this place is great as well. We are doing a lot of Finding to find new investigators so hopefully we will be teaching a lot soon. Not much else is going on for us here. It is great to hear from you and keep me posted. I am living with another missionary companionship. The portugese speakers and one of them is from Mexico. HA Man so many Nacho Quotes flying around. "Don't you wanna little taste of da glory see what it tastes like. I don't believe in God I believe in Science. They think I don't know a butt load of crap about the gospel but I DO!." Okay I'm done now. Take care With Love
