Mum!

I don't think the pink trees have bloomed yet.  The white ones have.  They're my favorite. I'll try to find out both their names.  No raping fields.  Thanks for not missing a week. It really helps.  I thought I put the times of skyping on last week's email.  I must not have.  I will be signing on to Elder Lewis's account, and I'll call you.  I need to know what your account name is though, so I can reach you.  I'm skyping from my Bishop's house and we get two or three hours each to skype, so we'll have some time.  You can meet Elder Lewis and maybe my bishop and his family.  They're super awesome.  I hope you can meet them.  I will be getting on around 3:00 or 3:30 England Time.  So you should be ready at 8:00am. It's not four am but it's early ish.  But that's my time slot.  It wasn't thirteen appointments, it was thirteen potentials.  So people that talked to us on the street that generally said we could stop by their house, or give them a call.  some of them canceled, and we've had a super busy week this week, so we haven't really gotten around to them, but this week, including today, we're going to go out and get ahold of them.

Taylor's going to Santiago? That's awesome!! He's going to be so great.  Does that mean that Lexi knows what's happening with her life? Is she getting married?

The Ericson's moved?!?! What?! That makes me incredibly sad.  They're some of my very favorite people.  Where'd they move to? BOO. Tell them to move back, or I'm coming home.  Not really. But tell them I'm super mad at them.

Nope. I haven't bought anything.  I think I will get a pair of shoes soon though.  And I'll probably get another suit when it gets cold, but I just don't even use my one suit except for Church and District Meeting.  So.. I don't really need two right now.

What I did need, and bought, were football cleats. Soccer football. We play a lot on P Days.  I actually really like football. I always thought I did, but now I have a reason to.  I've decided that I'm going to support Totenham.  They're a London team, and I think they're cool.

I'll get you those pictures next week.

I'm glad that you like working in the temple!  I thought you would get to do something cool like that.  When we come back to England after my mission can we go to both temples? that would be sooo dang cool.  There's one in Preston and one in London. 

You look very fit (hot) in your Capital clothes.  I think that's way clever haha.  I'm way sad that I'm missing those movies while I'm gone though.  I loved those books.

I'm sort of bigger, not fat. Cmon. And it's because of the delicious chocolate.  Nothing like the poison that America calls chocolate. I eat a lot of sweets. A hell of a lot. That's not even sort of swearing here. Nor is damn.  My bishop said it over the pulpit. In his testimony.  I'll probably come back saying both of them.  That's okay with me.  Probably not with you, though.

I like all food.

Members feed us a lot. You can stop asking me that one.

Sister Dowling is a wonderful cook.

My patriarchal blessing says that I'll wake up in the night knowing that I've been conversing with angels.  That definitely hasn't happened yet.  But I do dream.  and I like dreaming.

I don't dream about Dad very often, no. So you don't have to be jealous.

I see President about every... fortnight? We do our district meetings in the chapel right next to the mission home. and yes, I write him every single week, right before you, so I wont forget.

Write a list of every question in the whole world you can think of for me, so that I can tell you over skype.  That would relieve these humongous emails where I only answer questions the whole time, and I could actually tell you what's happening in my life.  Haha, that would be great.

Okay.  I'll talk to you on Sunday.  I love your guts. Remember to email me back and tell me the name of your skype account and the email it uses.  Then just be ready at 8am your time.  That's when I'll be getting on.

I love you!
