Dear Family, As I thought about writing this e-mail to you guys, I felt a bit like the dodo birds from Ice Age. “The laaaast melon.” Seriously, this last “transfer” will be quite bittersweet. I’ll start with experiences from this week. Most of this week was- you guessed it- FINDING! We’re still teaching Veronica, who’s on holiday…
Hiya Glad to hear you guys are doing well this week! Well, mostly well. I feel for you, Jessica, if that was a kidney stone you experienced, I know how you feel. They really suck! Hopefully that’s all done and dusted and you won’t have to experience any more of that on your mission! I thought your story about…
July 4th, 2016 Dear Fam, Happy Birthday America! Someone over here once asked how we spell America back home, (perhaps he was waiting for me to forget the “A” and just start with “M”, Merica, as we sometimes do – haha). Anyway, I proudly spelled it out for him: L-A-N-D-O-F-T-H-E-F-R-E-E-H-O-M-E-O-F-T-H-E-B-R-A-V-E. It was a longer spelling than he was…
6/27/2016 Hey guys! It’s been a great week here in the UK! The moisture in the air made it feel like we were in a flipping rainforest a couple of those days! We’ve had a lot of great “new missionary moments”. Some of my favorite memories I have had on the mission will always be the first…
From June 14, 2016 Hey Errybody, That side of the garden looks posh, and the cement pad as well! Haha, Jessica’s new dress looks pretty nice as well, innit?hahaha Well, first off, for Mum and Dad, its technically summer here, but its a good idea to bring a jumper or two and definitely a jacket…
June 20, 2016 Hey there, Familia! Wow, I think this is the first week that I’ve beaten you at writing my e-mails first for my whole mission! That’s ok, you probably had a busy Father’s Day yesterday! Speaking of which, Happy Father’s Day, Dad! You’re my role model, and I want to be at least half…
June 6, 2016 Dearest Family, MAN! I missed a baseball brawl again! I’ve always wanted to see one of those! Blast! I know it wasn’t actually a brawl, but still…sounds exciting! And how the flip did you guys score the job of announcing the actual game??! I have ALWAYS wanted to do that since I…
Hey y’all, So last week I forgot to say something: THANK YOU! I got the package. Challenge accepted! (#alwaysmeanttobeaninjorman) The Twizzlers and the Oreos are long gone now, and I can’t wait to try my hand at baking those lovely goods as well. That’s a life skill I definitely want to develop more, my cooking and baking…
Dearest Packer kin, News for the week- We didn’t really have anyone to teach last week, but this week we found a couple people to work with. Michele was originally found a week or so before I got here, but they weren’t able to get with her at the time. When we knocked on Saturday she said she didn’t…
Hiya, you alright? Well, the new digs are pretty nice, King’s Lynn seems like a cool place, despite it not being such a huge town. There’s a lot of cool little things from older times that are just part of the townwork. I’ve got a picture of what they call the South Gates, it used…
Hey guys, It was good to see everyone on Sunday and talk to Jessica. Well, I’ve actually got a lot more to do than I thought I would today, so this’ll just be a fast one. I’m moving to the Northernmost area of the mission, a place called King’s Lynn, in the Norwich zone. I’m being released as…
Hiddy Ho, Guess what? It’s Monday! That means I get to hear all about Sam’s mile-high hurdles and Mia’s volleyball team and Benson even sends me a sick rap. I have no idea what tune it goes to or anything, but the lyrics seem to rhyme. Man, I hope things have gotten a lot warmer…
