Hey Mom!
Things are going really well over here. We have moved flats and it is VERY nice. I love it. It feels like a vacation condo and it is in a very nice area. It is in Leegomry, which is like the greenest area around here. There are very pretty bike trails that we take all around here. It really is great. It is a great flat to come back to after working hard. Elder Holman and I are getting along very well and we are working well. It is very relaxed (hopefully not too relaxed). He is quite the Loogey Hawker, haha, and he does it often. But I figure that he could do things much worse than that, so I just generally ignore it. Our bikes are both running well and his is especially good. We just ride whatever bikes we want. It all comes out of personal funds, so really it's our choice. They are both mountain bikes though. Elder Holman's bike is pretty nice, and mine works, so I'm thankful for that. No I haven't received my mail yet and I won't for about another week and a half. I did receive two letters though because they came at a different time than the big load that the zone leaders have. One of the letters was from Stephen. I really enjoyed it. I wrote him back, but he didn't give a return address so I can't send it. Could you get his address so I can send it to him? Elder Holman gets his mail because he just gives everyone our flat address. I could do that, but it is a lot more complicated and when I'm transferred my mail would get mixed up. The address that I have everyone mail to is the mission office. So I receive mail whenever there is a big meeting or when someone from the office sees us. I think I might give the direct flat address when I move from Telford but I don't know.

I forgot to tell you, but a few weeks ago we ran into the first French man I have met in England. He hardly spoke English at all, but I was able to let him know what we were talking about and bear my testimony in French. It was way cool, haha. I thought you might find that interesting.
Other than that things are going well. We didn't have a good week last week because we were moving for most of it. But this will be our first full week of actual work and it is already off to a good start. I'm excited and I have a good feeling about this week. We have one solid investigator named Andy. He is the brother-in-law of one of our less-active members named Alan. They are both amazing and our lessons are so enjoyable. Andy is pretty excited to get baptized but just has some word of wisdom problems to get over first. We are excited for him though. Other than that we haven't had much going on. But I expect I will be able to send some good stories pretty soon. Last Saturday we tried out a new trail where we live and it is beautiful. It goes right past this old estate where this extremely wealthy family lived. This man we tried to contact told us all the history of the area and stories about what happened, who died in there, and what ruins you can still see, haha. England is just loaded with history and it's pretty cool. The wellington town center, right next to where we used to live, dates back to the 1200's. And I think I already told you that Charles Darwin was born about ten minutes away from here in Shrewsburry. We have had some amazing weather lately. I think that might be a big reason why I have been enjoying the work so much, but regardless I'm glad I have been. I really have just been happy while doing the work. People listen a lot more when we are happy. It's tough to share the plan of happiness when we aren't happy ourselves, haha. But I am really enjoying it and things are going well. I will try to send pictures of my new flat and where it is.
I love you very much. Thank you for everything. Tell everyone I love them too. I hope everything is going great and that school goes well for Cooper and Cole. Love you and talk to you next week!
