Hello Family,

This past week was pretty good. It went by very quickly. I went on two
exchanges and we had our zone trainings. Our mission is SO member
orientated now. We now have ways that we measure how much we work with
members and that has become 50% of our focus. We dropped our standards
for personal finding as well, which was very interesting. The activity
of going to the Manchester City Stadium was excellent. I can't
remember a more fun P-Day. We not only went there, but we went to B&Q
[Home Depot (I hope I spelled that right)] and Costco as well. It was
so much fun. Costco looks the exact same way it does in America, so it
was a nice flashback. There are like 2 or 3 Costco's in our mission. I
bought a Man City t-shirt to remember the activity, so now I have a
Man United jersey and Man City t-shirt. Good stuff. Other than that,
there isn't much to report, it was just a good week. This week I have
my last driving lesson and then the following Monday I take my test.
Hopefully I will be a fully licensed driver by the time I write again.
I will really need help though. I wont be emailing again until either
next Wednesday or Thursday. I will probably be in a new area by then
(my fourth). I have the least amount of areas out of my group. All the
other missionaries in my group have at least four areas. I like
standing out :) Things are good overall. I'll send some pictures from
last Monday.

I hope that everything is going well with the fam. I'll talk to you soon.

love,
Elder Misbach


PS: Just for clarification, I did not attend a football match. I just
went and had a tour of the stadium. Hope no one thought I was being
dodgey.

Hello Family,

This past week has been good. Nothing too intense to report though.
Tuesday was pretty good; I was able to record 17 different miracles
that happened that day. Great stuff. Unfortunately I can't think of
anything that interesting to report this past week. It was a pretty
straight-forward week. What I can tell you, is that within the past 3
minutes, as I was pondering what I can tell you about this past week,
two Indian girls walked into the library and you can smell their
perfume from a good 50 ft away. That is pretty ironic really, because
I find myself wishing often that more people would use products to
make them smell better and when I find people that actually do use
those products, they overdose. Today, the Wilsons are taking us to the
Manchester City (soccer team) stadium because they are huge fans
(City, NOT United, haha). I'm really looking forward to it. They were
also going to take us to this really fancy chocolate factory called
Slatteries (?), but they weren't able to get a table. They are going
to try and take us on the Wednesday I get transferred for breakfast.
They are great. This chocolate factory is very popular, apparently
Wayne Rooney had his wedding cake made there.

Well life is good and the gospel is true. I have been listening to
past General Conferences recently and I can not wait for the next one
in two weeks!! I hope everyone is doing well. Talk to you soon.

Love, Elder Misbach
