No worries Misty. What's really funny is a member of our ward asked if I had seen this funny youtube clip of how animals eat their food. I laughed and said no but when I get home I guess I really have to. I heard of Airworx it sounds really fun and I love how cooper will quote dodgeball. HAha Steve the Pirate. And Ben Stiller playing a masterful role as the freak gym boss. So this week was really great. Andy and his family are doing really well. Andy quite smoking this week. Cold Turkey! After we left monday night he just decided it is time to quit. He hasn't had one since. From 40 a day to 0. He's also going in for a big shoulder operation tomorrow. He's been waiting a year for this operation. It happened when he was in the military and he blew out his shoulder coming out of a plane. So that's a bit stressful for him but he'll be alright. We'll see him in a full body cast at the end of the week. On a lighter note. My favorite meal this week was Nandos Piri Piri Chicken. It's a restaurant and it was delicious, we had it last P-day and enjoyed the extra hot half chicken. Some scriptures that stuck out in my mind this week was D&C 89:18-21 because of Andy and what he is doing. As well as Moroni 7:48. The Atonement works because of Charity. I'll Let you ponder that one a bit. Well I must run and write to President. Now I want you to do some thing as well.
Answer these two questions you asked me! :)

P.s. Talk to you in 13 days

Hello Misty and Everyone,
Much to my dismay I cannot watch it. Why tempt ye me sister. That's okay I will have to watch it at a future date. The Craziest person I met this week, The Shaw family. It's a long story but this family are an inactive family and they are absolutley insane. Neither the mom nor the dad are working (in this country they give you benefits for nothing) so they just sponge off the government and they have 6 children (all of whom have one problem or another). Their house was a pigstie and just being there for 45 minutes made me hate life. Don't take it as sad... you can laugh. It is just self inflicted, they aren't happy because they do nothing but watch telly all day and get on the internet. Eat gross food and yell at their kids. Now they are so down at the bottom of the spiral getting out of it will take more willpower to do the right thing than they have at the moment. And they are the tip of the iceberg that is the Dol of England. (Dol is the benefits) For example if your 17 and pregnant they will give you a house and money each month to live. Whoever thought that was a good idea had another thing coming. Anyways. Ah the Mesa Swap meet I miss that place. What a quality establishment of all the goods you could possibly want. We have a place like that here it's called Camden town. The things they swap are usually just faddish things though. It's a funny place I should take pictures of it if I ever get back to London Again. Yes Crazy thought that Cooper is going to be 7. Tell Him I say happy birthday and be sure to join me in my quarters for some birthday toast. Give Riley a squeeze for me as well. This week has been a pretty good week for us as well. We met a really nice lady out in the middle of nowhere. In England there are all these little villages tucked away and so we were there for a dinner appointment and we tracted since we were early and we met this lady and she said to come back next week. We did and we invited the member along. (Counsellor in the Stake presidency really cool guy) and had a great lesson with her. She has 6 children and use to go to church but because of the way the church was run she stopped going. We have another appointment with her this coming friday. Elder Lingam and I are having a wonderful time here in Ashford and we are looking forward to these next 6 weeks. Well I love you guys and hope you are well.
Hope the Birthday is fun
With Love

Hey Mom and Rick
Sorry about the Card. My white shirts have began to deteriorate finally after two years of use. I got a few new ones. (and I'm saving 2 for coming home) and I got shoes that will be for my last month and when I get home. I forgot to tell you that. These shirts from JCpenny were really good. The van heusen ones wore out the first year but these four stafford shirts have lasted me nearly all two years. I also had to pay for a train ticket about 2 weeks ago. I will get reimbursed for it this week.
Conference was great this weekend. We really enjoyed it here and loved Priesthood session it was a really good experience and the First Presidency had great talks that they gave us. And we haven't seen the Sunday Afternoon yet. we will hopefully today. I write emails to Luis which have been really good and I am going to write one to him today. Don't worry about sending me mail or a package. Just send one to him he needs it more than I do and it's cheaper to send it to him anyways. He is doing fantastic otherwise though he has really enjoyed his mission. He is such a hard worker, I have no doubt he has grown dramatically over his mission. We are teaching this amazing family here in Ashford. Andy and Sue and their two boys. They are a great family that were being taught by the missionaries but the missionaries were a bit too hardcore with them. So they kinda became uninterested but then Elder lingam and I went back and they love us! And they are absolutely fantastic. Andy is ex-military due to injury and he just had surgery on Thursday then he stepped on a nail that went through his foot on Saturday and still came to General Conference. He is such a great guy and we are teaching them tonight. He has already read all the way through 1st Nephi and on to 2nd Nephi. I will keep you posted on everything with them. they are absolutely great. We are coming to the end of this transfer and I will keep you posted on if I move or not. Most likely what will happen is Elder Lingam and I will stay together here in Ashford and I will finish my final transfer here as well. Thank you so much for all you do for me. I really am thankful to have parents like you two. I look forward to talking to you in just a few weeks time.
With Love
