Thanks for the wool knowledge.  Good to know.  I'm going to be looking over the next few weeks.  I'll buy one eventually.

Do I hate the food here?  Have I ever hated food? Ever?  Nah.  The food is fine.  It's not the best.  But far from the worst.  It's just kind of plain.  But fish and chips is delicious, and absolutely dreadfully bad for you.  They deep fry the fish, and then ask if you want salt and vinegar.  Of course I want salt and vinegar.  So they bathe it in those two substances.  Chips here are fries.  I think that's common knowledge, but I'm not sure.  It messes with me every once in a while.  Fries are chips, and chips are crisps.  Get that?

We have a lot of Americans in our ward though, and they like to make us miss home with Mexican food or other american-treats.  Like tonight.  There's some one in our ward that went to California on his mission, and they're making chili dogs for us tonight.  Awesome.

Sorry that you missed me today.  You chose about the only time that I wasn't planning on being on the computers.  Germany does an hour of working out every P day, so we all get some lunch and watch him, cause we're way too lazy to get in on that.

Yeah!  Chad and Stacy!  Me and Chad actually got on really well!  He's way way funny.

Boo Philth.  What a creep.  I know that Remy is his kid, but, well, in my head, he's already given up that right.  But I have been thinking of him a lot lately.  And I've been talking to my mission president a bit about it as well.  And, even though it's not the popular belief right now, I just feel bad for him.  Not bad in the sense that I think he doesn't deserve a well placed kick to his manhood, because he does, but more because he's lost.  He's in that fog that Lehi talks about.  Forbidden paths.  I feel bad because the devil has got a good grasp on him, and he can't even figure that out.  You'd think a brain like his could.  You'd think that he'd realize that he's falling into the same traps prophesied about all through the scriptures.  God doesn't tend to deal well with those people.  Think Sodom and Gomorrah.  Ouch.  Or in the Doctrine and Covenants "Amen to that man's priesthood."  That makes cringe every time I read it.  I have to go back to my favorite hymn.  It's Press Forward Saints.  At the end it talks about Heavenly Father saying that we have Eternal Life.  Can you imagine how perfectly amazing that feeling will be?  It says it in my patriarchal blessing as well.  Right there at the end.  If that last paragraph or two was all my blessing said, it would still help me.

Everything went well this week.  People came to church and our new Hungarian girl really liked it.  And the branch just totally fellowshipped her.  (I made sure to call people the night before so that it would definitely happen.) But the branch was super awesome, and friendly.

I'm glad everything is good there.  Today is dodge day, so I could be moving, but I really doubt it.  It's really unlikely since I'm training.  But that also means I get to send a quick email on Thursday.  That's always good.

I love you guys!  I miss you a ton, and I'm getting excited to talk to you on Christmas!  You should figure out if you can put me on the big screen in the family room somehow.  Call Paul!  In fact, tell him to email me! I'd love to hear where he served and stuff, now that I know England a little better.  Same with Michael.  And Granddad. And everyone.  Just tell everyone to email/write to me.  Thanks Mom.

I lerrve yerr!

Love,
