Hey Mum,

Sounds like the birthday idea went well.

Haha, obviously all that praise has gone to my head, have you seen the size of my noggin?  If you can't remember, just ask Aaron how big my head is.  I like his similes.  I think the last one I remember is, "It's the size of the freakin Titanic!" Sounds about right.

Missionary work is going! We got a new investigator (sort of) and he's really cool!  He's a former investigator, and he's really active in whatever church he goes to now, but he likes us, and we've visited twice with him.  The first time, he was telling us a story and got so emotional, that he left the room, and we heard audible sobs.  Sometimes missionary work is funny, but sometimes you have to keep a straight face.  I did pretty well.

The Lord's the man.  One of my favorite things I was told in the MTC was that "Heavenly Father and Jesus love us all equally, he just loves his missionaries more equally."  Haaa.

Frankfurt matches Gregory for some reason.  He's going to be a good missionary.  Eli on the other hand?  We should probably just keep him home.  Just kidding, he'll be okay.  Canada is going to make him sound so funny. He'll spurt off some of his proud, intelligent rants, and then add a big Canadian Eh?! at the end.  I think God has a pretty awesome sense of humour. Humor.  Well.. actually, humour, for the next 22 months.  And manoeuvre.  That one gets me.

That's very sad about Jan.  I love those two.  Give them my best, and I'll keep them in my prayers.  It would be cool to explain the Plan of Salvation to them though.

Thanks for telling me about your nasty nasts getting frozen off.  Actually we've had to go to hospital this week as well.  Elder Lewis is getting like the reverse of whatever skin thing Adrienne has.  He has dark spots that have been spreading over his body for a while, and we decided he should probably get them checked out.  I saw a skin tag forming on my neck the other day I think.. I was shaving at the time.. So.. I don't have a skin tag anymore.  Haha
Thanks for taking care of my dog.  And my niece. I like them both.  One more than the other. You'll have to guess which, though.

The Dowlings are rad.

I did hear about President Monson's wife.  That's way sad.  We had a cool stake conference, where we got to watch a broadcast that went all over the UK.  Our local seventy spoke as well as Elder Scott and President Eyring.  It was awesome, and all about how we should treat women, and how women should treat themselves.  It was very good.  You should look that up, maybe somebody wrote it down.  You'd like the talks.

So yeah! Megan and Houston came over and hung out with us yesterday! It was awesome!  I'll try and send you a picture, but it was awesome, and I loved it and I love them.  they're the coolest, and we had a good time.  They brought me cheetohs.  I think they were heaven-sent--The Truebloods and the Cheetohs.

Anyways.. Life's good. I'm a missionary. aaaaand.. I'm in England. So that's cool.

 

I love you Momma!
