November 23

This week was good, we got a referral from some other missionaries in Leeds and we are going to see her tonight. Her name is Stacey and she is 20 years old and also has a 2 year old son. So it is going to be cool, she is super nice. Other than that, I am a bit sick haha, it’s just a cough and a bit of a scratchy throat I’ll force my way through it haha. This week was good though I liked it, it did snow a bit but by the time we got out in it, only the ice was left haha. So it’s still alright on that front. One thing I learned this week was that when teaching someone about the law of chastity and the fact that they will have to get married to their partner that is living with them before they get baptized, to make sure that the person your teaching isn't drunk. That was an experience haha, he kind of just like yelled at his partner telling her to marry him, then when she said no he cursed at her and said "why not? I’m not going to get baptized now!" That was pretty hilarious, we talked to both of them later when he was sober and worked something out haha. He will get baptized eventually, she just wants him to prove that he is changing his life before they get married. So that was nice there haha. I know that we have a pizza hut near us haha, but imagine how expensive that pizza hut is back home, then times it by 3. We will not be eating pizza hut any time soon haha. We have our thanksgiving dinner that the senior couples in the mission are making all of us, that will be really fun, so yea I will have turkey this year, probably not as good as yours but we will have it. Thank you for sending the package though I will get it eventually. Also we got some cookies this week, and they weren't from Katy, they were addressed to me from a lady down near London, with a message from you inside. Do you know what that is about? Haha. So that museum we went to is called the royal armories, it is basically a museum full of Armor and weapons from so many different places and times. It was really really cool. I took like about 200 pictures haha. I’ll send a couple with this email. but it seems like things are still going good back home, just keep them going good for 10 more months and I will be fine haha. I am excited for skyping on my last Christmas in England as well. Oh by the way did you ever ask Spencer Missy or kc for money? Or anyone else? Haha make sure you mention that I have dropped 6 inches off of my waist and I need some clothes. Anyway I hope that you guys have a good week this next week. I love you and I miss you. My scripture is 1 Nephi 17: 49-51, I think I may have told you that one already, but nothing is impossible with god! If he wants us to do something, no matter what it is we can do it, and he will help is do it. So on that note I will have to let you go, but have a good week! I love you guys, I’ll talk to you next time!

For the record no I haven't been photo-shopping my pictures! And I have been eating enough haha and you can hardly see me there. That’s a suit that when I bought it, it didn't fit me but now it fits! Haha but yea I am aiming to go home for my mission having a 32 inch waist so there is still more to go. I gotta lose my gut still! But yea zone conference was really good. It changed a lot of things for me right now haha, I am noticing that I actually have a desire to help people so that is good. my heart was really not in it haha, it got to a point that I was out here pretty much only so that you guys back home would be blessed, but now I can feel like I am staying out here so that I have the chance to help people. I can feel like more of a desire to actually work because I want to help people not because I need to. But yea it is good I am happy out here and I only have like 10 months left so I gotta keep going. That poem reminds me of how I felt when I left, imagine like all of those feelings but like all at the same time and then times that by 100 and that's about what it felt like. That’s how I feel like now when I think about going home. But yea I am doing well out here, this week was good, we got rained on all week. That was fun. Thank you for your advice, that's all I need to do is keep on going forward. I am excited to see what happens this next little bit. Today is going to be fun as well, we are going into Leeds to go to a museum and also to go have lunch with Scot, the guy I got baptized in Leeds. So it will be good. It’s good to hear that you guys are doing good, let me know if I can get you anything over here. Also tell my other siblings that if they want anything from here when I come home to give you the money and then you can give it to me. Also like none of my clothes will fit me when I get home, so I am thinking of going and buying some things in the Christmas sales, but I would need money. But yea its fine whatever they are willing to give and whatever I get I get, I am not too bothered. But money would be appreciated closer to the Christmas season. but I am doing good so don't worry about me, I still need to lose more weight by the end of my mission, and I am sorry but I won’t send you a picture of me until you see my on Christmas day so you will have to wait a month to see me. But yea I am running out of things to say haha. I hope you guys have a good weekAnyway I’ll look out for your package as well, I’ll talk to you next week! I love you!

Love Jeremy

November 11th

So yesterday was zone conference and it is also Remembrance Day today, so president wanted us to email our parents and tell them what we learned. The main thing that hit me after this last zone conference was that I DON'T WANT TO GO HOME! Now don't get me wrong I love you guys and I miss everyone back home. But I have a work to do out here and as of yet my heart hasn't been in the right place. So for this next year on my mission I am going to work on that the most. That is learning why I am out here, and working to achieve that goal once I find it out. At zone conference we watched a couple videos one was about a man who had a stroke after running a business for 30 years and helping the poor with food all the time and the bill for the stroke his daughter couldn't pay, but one of the people he helped 30 years ago was a kid who grew up to be the doctor that operated on his brain, and the debt was forgiven him by the doctor. So that kind of hit me mainly because these good things that we do in this life come back around. When we seek first the kingdom of god, all the things that we do will be given to us at some future time whether that be on the earth or after. But that was really good. Most of this zone conference was on the heart and having your heart in the right place. So yea that's about what stuck out to me, sorry I can’t write a lot to you but just know that this next year, things are going to change for the better, both out here and back home for you. But I love you and I miss you and I hope you guys are having a good week, I’ll talk to you next Monday!

Love Jer

November 9th

This week was pretty good, the guy we scheduled is still going for it, it was pretty funny he was a bit drunk when we set the date, so when he woke up the next morning he said I agreed to what?!?! Then his wife, who isn't too interested as of yet, said well you might as well get on with it! So that is good. He needs to stop smoking and drinking and smoking and as well we need to get them married, but he will get baptized I’m not gonna let him give up! But yea haha we also found a new person when we got in knocking, and we scheduled her as well. Her name is Wendy, she is pretty cool as well. The main scripture that kind of stuck out to me is this, its 1 Nephi 17:49-51, I shared that scripture with the man who we have to get him married. His name is Peter and he is a recovering alcoholic as well and he smokes all the time. It kind of puts it into perspective that when god wants us to do something he will give us a way to do it. No matter what it is? But yea haha. So that was good. But I am running out of time, this week was good and it seems like your weeks should be getting better. I gotta go I love you and I miss you a lot. Just keep on pushing. I hope you have a good rest of your week. And I’ll talk to you next time!

November 2nd

Can you believe its November already? Jeremy got transferred to Dudley Hill which is by Leeds.

England does celebrate Halloween but not as big as America does. Missionaries aren't allowed to be outside passed 6 o clock on Halloween so no I don't get to do anything. I will give you my address at the end of this letter, uhh I did get shoes and I got them with the money that I’ve been pulling out of the card. I don't need any money right this second but eventually I will need some haha. I got Katy’s spice package and I gave her my address last night so she can send me the stuff she wants to send me. Hopefully she doesn't sent me English q tips, those things suck! That’s why I wanted you to send me some haha, but yes just send this package to the mission office, just make sure you mark it as not a Christmas package haha. My new area is pretty cool, I like it a lot. My companion is a pretty cool guy he is from Australia, and his name is elder Boynton. He’s a good guy, a bit shy but everyone is haha. The ward is good I like the flat as well. We are teaching some people, we actually scheduled one of them for baptism last night, he is a great guy. He like shook my hand and looked me in the eye and did like a prison stair down with me, and he asked me will this make me clean? It was pretty cool that I could actually not look away at all and look him dead in the eye and say yes. It was a good experience anyway tell Kevin to send that letter! Haha I am still writing Kayla, I am waiting on one from her right now. So yea haha this week was good and next week will be good as well. But I better close up I’m running out of things to say. But yea I love you and I miss you and if you need anything let me know. I hope you have a good week!

Also my address is, 

Flat 5 Behrens Warehouse

26 East Parade

Bradford, BD1 5HD

England

 

Well there you have it, haha. I’ll talk to you next week!

October 27th

Things here are good, I did get transferred to Dudley hill, I don't know the name of the guy I am serving with but I do know that he is from Australia so that's kinds cool haha. But this week has been good, hopefully I when I go down to Dudley hill (which is back near Leeds by the way) I’ll be able to stay there for a little while haha. I don't like packing! I’m good at it but I still don't like doing it. But yea this last Monday we went to the peak district and did a good 12 mile hike around there, it was really fun haha. I took a lot of pictures but ill sent you a couple. Today we are just going to go into town and look around for the last time, and I am going to go by some shoes because I was never able to earlier. But it will be a good day today and a good week as well. It will most likely fly by so it will be fun. But let me know if I can do anything for you, I love you and I miss you. And I’ll talk to you next week! I’ll try not to forget to send the pictures as well haha. Have a good one!

October 19th

 

I am doing well, we are working really hard out here and I am still losing weight just like I was before, except even faster haha. Things are good here, it’s getting cold and the leaves are changing a lot. Today we are going to the peak district so that will be really fun, I’ll send you pictures of that next week. I think that I am moving I don’t want to make and predictions for where I am going though because I don’t want to get them right haha. I am pretty much ready to leave this area, it’s in good hands. But as well we found a bunch of people this last week so I won’t be excited to leave them. We found 5 new people, taught them all, and scheduled them all for the 14 of November for their baptismal dates. That was really good, and this week flew by because I have been busy. I hope this next week is good as well. Sorry I am typing a lot of typos but I am going kind of fast because I only have an hour today because we are going hiking so we got permission to leave early haha. But yea haha the story Katy wanted me to tell you that was while I was on the phone with her last night I found a lizard on the ground, there are not lizards in England, especially at this time of the year. but I found it and it was still alive just it couldn’t move because it was so cold, so I picked it up and put it in my pocket with me hand around it and it came back to life and started like moving a whole bunch in my hand. Anyway I named him Fred and he jumped out of my hand and I couldn’t find him because it was dark so he is probably dead now but it was pretty funny. but hey I got to go, I still need to send my email to president so yea I hope you have good week, don’t work too hard, and let me know if there is anything I can do for you! Haha I’ll talk to you next time!

 

Love Jeremy,

Momma!

 

Haha you would like it when I email on my iPad, it’s hard to do though because I’m so used to typing either on a little screen or on a keyboard, not that weird mechanical device in my hands. But things are going good here, I’m still working, still losing weight and I plan on changing a lot more by the time my year is up! Yea I know that the new Slovak missionary is coming in, there is another one as well and I also know both of their trainers, good guys. Teaching is still going good, we haven't found anyone new but it has been really fun just to go around and try haha. I am in a branch of Slovakians, they are good, but they don't understand anything and it’s hard to teach them the simplest things. Half of them still believe in the trinity! Haha it’s really funny at church when you hear something that it just a little bit way off from what is actually right haha. I haven't taken any pictures of myself recently haha I am still losing weight but just know that you will get a picture eventually... patience. I am doing well though everything I have is doing well, I just got a haircut and it looks great! uhhh yea it’s going to be a good week this week, and I only have one more after that until the end of the transfer so it should be interesting to see what happens because elder frahm (my companion) goes home at the end of next transfer (December 2) so I will most likely move haha. But president Pilkington gets released around June time next year. So I get 4 months with a brand new mission president! Haha that will be interesting. Anyway I love you and I miss you and I will talk to you next week! Let me know if you need anything and if there is anything you want to know. Have a good week! Don’t work yourself to hard!

October 5th

Momma!

Haha it's weird, I am emailing on my iPad because the computers are down again. But it is really fun out here I am doing really well. Conference was really good for me I saw almost all of it, only missed priesthood and the Sunday evening session. The only advice that I could come up with for you is to just think about Moroni 10:3-5, it says that you need to have real intent before you can receive an answer to a prayer. I use that scripture every time I tech someone about prayer, but real intent is something more than that. I've only realized this recently so bare with me. We have to show real intent at many times of our lives, when we want to know If the church is true we show our real intent to God when we are baptized or when we live all the commandments as we should, God isn't going to show us anything that we want to know if we aren't putting in the effort we need to in order to act on the answer we receive. So just by us trying to live the commandments and doing the things we are supposed to do, we show God that we are worthy of receiving e answer we need. The answer we get might not always come in the way that we expect, but that's where the faith comes in. Do you remember Indiana Jones and the last crusade, when he was trying to do all of the challenges in the end? One of them was a "leap of faith" he had to take that first step onto that invisible bridge, and only when he made that first step was when he thought to throw the sand onto the bridge to see it. That's the way that we have to work with things we might be skeptical about. We have to make that first step before we can know whether it's the right thing or not, or whether God will bless for the things that we are doing. The talk that spoke to me the most was uchtdorfs as well, being on my mission I have noticed more and more how simple things actually are. We follow the commandments and get the ordinances we need to and God promises us eternal life with him and Jesus Christ in the celestial kingdom. It's as simple as that, Satan is that one that makes it seem to hard or makes it seem so out of our reach that we could never get there, but the point is that the only reason we can do this is because our older brother Jesus Christ already made that sacrifice so that we could be clean enough to enter into Gods presence. I like how he said that this gospel is so simple and child can grasp it yet so profound that it may take eternity to know everything, and that's the point! We need an eternity, all we have to do is worry about the stuff we know to be true now and then build from there. So yea I don't know everything, and I don't profess that I do, but I do know that to be happy in this life and to be happy in the life to come we need to follow god’s standards, leaving all other things behind and seeking first the kingdom of God. I look forward to the day that I can say that I have done all that I can to follow Christ, and actually look back and know that I am telling the truth. Of course it's hard but it's also easy at the same time, if you are willing to let go of the things in your head and start to follow the feelings that the spirit is giving in your heart. I know this church is true, and I know that I amount here for a reason. But just keep going don't give up on anything, I'll be home in a year to help you guys out with money and to also try not to be too much of a burden that I was last time.

 

Things are going good out here, we have two knew people that we taught, they are for the chek republic. So that is really good, I can't understand what they are saying as well as I can understand Slovak. But it's pretty much the same language. Anyway have a good week! I love and you and I miss you as well. Let me know if you need anything. Talk to you later!

Love Jer

 

September 28th

That’s great! Haha good to see things are looking up! Things will always work out though just keep going. Have you asked for your job back at the VA yet? Or even a better job? Haha that’s a nice jeep, grandma looks good as well haha things are going good here, I’m still improving, and I think haha. I got a funny story though, this guy yesterday, he started arguing with us like really bad, after 20 minutes of us trying to calm him down, he told us to leave. We started walking away and he started calling us cowards and stuff and that we were evil spirits, or possessed by the devil. So he told us to turn around and face him like men, so we did, we turned around and stood a good 15 feet away from him, and he started saying that we were assaulting him and harassing him and that he was going to call the cops. We didn’t really move haha we just were like talking to each other not to him, then he rebuked us in the name of Jesus Christ! Haha this guy who 20 minutes earlier said that he is sort of religious and that he doesn’t go to church. He said it in a funny way as well, it was like a teenage girl saying a back handed compliment then flipping her hair and walking away haha. But then we just stood there out of spite because he didn’t really have to authority to say to us and have it work, but then he spit in our general direction and told is to f off, so we left haha. He’s a pretty good guy though, had a really pretty dog. Yesterday was a very fun day haha, this week has been good as well. We found a couple new people from the chek republic, they are nice. Elder Frahm and I get along well we work hard together, so that’s all that matters. My health is fine I still have another like 13 days on the pills and my garments are fine! Haha but I’m starting to really enjoy being out here more, I think it is because I am working a lot harder than before. But I love it out here and I love the people I meet, even if they don’t like my like that guy does haha. But I am excited for general conference on Sunday and Saturday, we will miss one session because the Slovakian branch has regular fast Sunday on conference Sunday haha, but we will see one or two of them, I am excited for it! I like listening to the talks there, they always teach me something I never knew, on my mission especially! But hey I better let you go, but one more thing, don’t sell me Xbox! I bought it with my own money! Haha and Xbox is way better then ps4 anyway so don’t do it! Just wait a year! Haha. But yea I hope you have a good week! I love you and miss you! Let me know if you need anything, the only thing I would add to the package is crest 3D white toothpaste, English toothpaste sucks. But yea have a good week! Love you!

 

September 21st

Life is good! Haha things are doing fine, I still like it here and since I am staying here for at least another transfer, I get to like it even more. The investigators are doing well, we actually found a new one named Thomas from hungry. He’s a really good guy, the language barrier makes it hard to teach him but it is fun haha. Everyone else except for like only one or two are Slovak. One of them is Romanian, language barrier there as well. Other than that we have one English guy that we kind of need to drop haha. This area is supposed to be only Slovak people but since we are doing so much regular finding, we are finding people that aren't Slovak haha. It’s good that way because all of the people who are Slovak know that missionaries and aren’t too bothered with is. Where we are, there are mostly immigrants living, we figured it’s about like this. There is 80% Muslims (Pakistan, Middle East, Bangladesh, Indonesia, wherever else) about 10% Slovak (not bothered, the ones that are are already members), then 9.5% other European countries (Poland, Russia, Romanian, Africa, not to bothered), then there’s .5% English people (slammed doors every time). It’s really really fun! Haha England is part of the European Union so like all the European countries get in free, then they kind of just let anyone else in as well. Sheffield is good, it’s a city not a town, and most of the places around are filled with immigrant’s haha but I better end this one haha, I hope you have a good week! I love you and I miss you! Let me know how everything goes! I’ll talk to you next time!

September 15th

Momma!

Things are going good here, we aren’t teaching too many people, no new ones either. Mainly just this family of 4 with the parents, Milan and viola, they are super good. We are getting them married then they will be able to be baptized haha. Also we are teaching another couple named jozef and magdelena, they are pretty cool as well, they are older and should be baptized on the 26th of September. Hopefully! I am staying in Sheffield, but probably only for one more transfer. Elder frahm goes home in December so they wouldn’t keep me here for the 5 weeks that he is here after this transfer. Maybe we should’ve sold the beetle when we had the chance haha, I promise that I didn’t break anything on it if that makes you feel any better. Did dad ever sell the jeep? Or is that one just on hold for now because that’s the only car? That sucks to hear about dad’s knee! Man everything is happening back home right when I can’t be there the help you guys with anything! You guys always pull through, always have, and always will. I think that’s like one of the best things I’ve learned from you two, is to never give up! Things pile up on you guys all the time but you seem to always just pick it up and keep going. Never stop changing! Haha but will grand junction be low enough for your heart? And did you get cleared for work yet? Also look on the bright side with moving back to junction so if I were you I would just try to get back on my feet in junction then try to move on from there you know? But I’m happy for you guys just don’t give up! yea I actually need to get kitties number, she didn’t call me last night like she usually does on transfer nights, maybe something is going on. And I don’t know too many people who have gotten year packages haha I’ve been with old missionaries my whole mission. I’ve been thinking about what I need though haha. Its might be kind of big but he stuff I think shouldn’t be too heavy so here it is. ok so dill pickle sunflower seeds, 2 old spice bearglove deodorant sticks (dry ones, not the gel, the one you sent me in the lest package gave me a rash in my armpits for some reason), spices for cooking chicken in a frying pan and also for like vegetables (peppers, onions, mushrooms, sweet potatoes, broccoli, stuff like that), uh those paper mate g2 pens (the pens suck here in England) and a big things of qtips again (I’m almost out of the one I came out with). So yea there is it haha, those are just suggestions though so just let me know if there is anything you need haha. But yea I’m doing good, haha I don’t really know what to say. Just let me know if I can do anything haha, I love you and I miss you both. Have a good week!

Love jer

 

Zone Conference Picture

Pictures!

Sept 7th

I’m sorry about not emailing a whole bunch last week, I only had 20 minutes to email. I had to email president also, which usually takes around 20 minutes in itself, but Chatsworth was good! We went and got in, it took us like 3 hours to go through the house and the garden haha, and it is a super cool place. I get along with other missionaries just fine, my companion is great, I get doors slammed in my face all the freakin time, it’s not exactly to different from any of the other areas I’ve ever been in haha, or any of the other missions in the world. I like where I am, I love my mission president, I don’t get discouraged to often I just turn everything into a joke when someone curses at me haha. I am feeling just fine, I’m actually better then I have felt in a long time because I weigh less than 200 pounds, which is like the first time that’s happened since sophomore year haha. My clothes and my shoes are fine, I have shoes for the rest of my mission practically and my clothes will do for another good little while. I just don’t know what else to say haha all of the days kinds blend together, I know who we are teaching but I don’t really know what we teach and when if I don’t look at my planner. Teaching is great, I like doing it so much more than finding haha. I am also better at it then finding as well so all is well! I don’t know if I will be able to go to see England before I leave, if you guys come and pick me up and you actually have permission to do it, we will have about a week and a half to mess around here then go home. But that being said it doesn’t matter to me if I don’t get to see those things, as long as I eventually end up at home.

 

It sucks you’re going back into having to do all this stuff again, hopefully you will get better and be able to get back to work and a somewhat regular life. Things sound good other than that haha, did dad sell the car yet? And what is going to happen to your car? What in the storage room fell? How all of my stuff? Haha most of those clothes probably won’t fit me when I get back home, so you can wear that shirt all you want! I did get an email from spencer, he looks like he’s doing good haha. As for Courtney and her color problems haha, I don’t remember I think we were talking about fuscia and she thought that skin color was an actual color haha, she was not too happy with me when she found out I didn’t really care either way lol. And I don’t know about spencer’s shoes I think we may have sold a bit of them but not all of them. Also how my Xbox and the Xbox one is I left out for you guys?

 

Alright I hope that this was long enough for you! I feel like I’ve been typing on this one page for forever haha. But I love you and I miss you, I hope you guys get something figured out back home. Make sure you tell me more things about all the little things at home as well! Also are you thinking of sending me a year mark package?

Love Jer

 

Sept 1st

This week was good! I loved the package. Also I am going to go to Chatsworth today, so I actually have to cut emailing short, so I won’t be able to answer all of your questions haha. But I love you and thank you for the emails. I already have bishops and I sent an email to him but he never answered back so that’s why I said to ask him, same with Kevin. But thanks for everything! I love you and I miss you! I promise ill answer everything next week, along with a whole bunch of pictures from Chatsworth! I have talked to Alec I’ll see how he’s doing. I email Alec every week, and I don’t really get any emails from my family at all haha besides you and dad some times. But I have to go I’ll talk to you next week!

 

August 24th

I found that bowl in the flat that I was in at the time, I’m not living there right now though I was on exchange. Oh hey! Could you tell Kevin and former bishop Tyler Anderson to email me? Also do you think you could get ahold of Jennifer Shaver and Mr. Nash at Valley school and have them email me as well? I forgot there emails at home. Haha. This week was good we had mission tour and I got a picture with Elder Moriera of the seventy, he is a super cool guy. If he ever goes apostle I will be happy haha.  The rest of the week was pretty fun, it poured on us! Which doesn’t happen a lot in England, like it flooded the streets where I am serving haha. But it was pretty cool we had our investigators Milan and Viola and their kids come to church with us so I got to sit and draw and solve math problems on a page in my planner with Laura their 9 year old daughter haha. I haven’t gone to Chatsworth yet the weather said it had a 70 percent chance of rain today so I will wait to go until next week. It is where the queen stays when she comes up to Sheffield, super cool place haha. P day next week is on the Tuesday so it should be sunny then. I did get your package thank you for that.

 I like what you said about faith, people don’t realize that anything god has done or has asked us to do, is spiritual. It doesn’t just help us in our physical life but it helps us in our spiritual life as well. So praying about something, anything give your spirit the answer it needs to do the things that god has asked us to do. If you pray about that you can see that things are different now than they were and that god is no respecter of persons, he judges all of us the same, he created all of us that same! It’s not about picking things apart, I don’t want anyone to follow blindly, the church and god doesn’t want that. We ask people to search for answers, search for the truth, anyone can put anything online, but the only real way we can know for sure if something is true is if we pray about it. Pray about everything! God is willing to help us if we ask, if he is real he would be sitting on a cloud throwing lightning bolts at us like people think, he would be there to help us like a father should be. I know that he is there, I’ve felt him and I know that the people around us have felt him to, everyone has! It’s just about recognizing what it is when it happens. People always find something on the internet and they automatically assume that it is true, I know it’s not, but that doesn’t mean that it makes this church or the fact that god live any less true. People can say what they want. Ok that’s it for my rant haha, I know this church is true I know that everything that is it is trying to do as an organization is true, the people may not be perfect, but they are at least trying to do something good. I know joseph smith was a prophet and I know that Thomas S. Monson his successor is a prophet alive on the earth today. I’ve learned these things through prayer, it takes studying and knowledge, but nothing that involves god can be proved or disproved by physical means, it has to be prayer that does it. I know that god lives and that Jesus Christ, his son, is the savior and redeemer of the world. I could go on for hours with all of the things I know to be true because I’ve prayed about them and tested them out. To save you from that I’ll just say that I love this gospel and I love the things that it has helped me with. I say these things in the name of Jesus Christ amen.

 

So yea haha uhh well I don’t really have anything to add to that... I love you and I’ll talk to you next week! Have a good week!

Love Jeremy

Things are good! The people we are teaching are accepting things yea haha, but we have to get a couple of them married before we can get them baptized. This week was good there was like a lot that happened so bear with me haha. So I was on exchange for half of the week, in different areas. Once I got back to Sheffield 4 we had interviews with president the next morning so we had to wake up early for that. My interview went good, not to many things to report on there. But then for the second half of the week, we worked like mad! We got two new people, one of them Slovak and one of them from Jamaica! We scheduled both of them for baptism as well, which brings me to my next point haha. Elder Frahm and I, well I, am trying to go to this place called Chatsworth, it’s where the queen stays when she is in Sheffield, I’ve seen pictures and the place looks amazing! But elder Frahm doesn’t want to go, so we made a deal that if we scheduled someone who spoke English (which never happens in this area) then he will go. I agreed and then 2 days later we scheduled our nice Jamaican pal named spencer! Haha so now he has to go to this place with me! But yea haha so that will be fun, today we are going to go into town and see a couple museums again. I did remember my chord, so will send pictures. I didn’t get your package yet, I’ll look out for it. I am eating plenty, I have enough money, but I haven’t used very much of your 50 you sent me. I am going to get a skinny black tie now as well haha, I’m collecting ties that will match that blue suit and the suit I got in Leeds as well. But love you and I miss you, I’ll let you know if I need anything. I’m going to need to get a project car yea, I actually want to flip cars with dad when I get home. I want to learn more of how to do it! But hey check out this talk, it’s called "what is the blueprint of Christ’s church" by Elder Tad R. Callister, super good. But I’ll talk to you next week, have a good one!

Love Jer

August 10th

This week was good haha, we decided to step it up and do a lot more finding then we did last week. Our week last week only had 10 lessons and 10 hours of finding (knocking and street contacting) this week we did 14 lessons and 24 hours of finding haha, it was fun. I feel so tired but yet so alive at the same time haha. I’m happy you are doing better, it’s still going to be pretty hard but at least you’re improving. How are the Knebel’s doing? I was thinking of them a little bit ago because I noticed the picture I have of me and Chad when we met in the mtc haha. I forgot my chord again so no pictures this time, but I have some pretty cool ones haha. I don’t have to learn the language but I’d like to say that I can hold a quarter of a conversation with a Slovak person haha. Mainly just "good day, how are you today? Good? That’s good." and then all the middle stuff goes over my head haha, but then I say "alright have a good night. Goodbye!" so I’m working on it! Haha but my companion Elder Frahm is pretty cool, he’s helping me lose weight, he’s a good guy. He’s from Roy Utah and he goes home in December, he thinks that  I will be with him until he goes home, I’d be fine with that, I like it here in Slovakia. Nothing else is really new that I need to say haha, that’s super gay that the insurance said that you needed to call them while you were having a heart attack haha. But you will figure it out, you usually do. Just refrain from making that poor girl on the other line cry while you do it haha. I don’t know what I really need from home that I can think of, besides all the stuff I’m not really allowed to have haha. If you can think of something else I might want then you go ahead and send it haha. But I’m doing good here, just let me know what’s going on when you guys end up moving, or if you do. I only want to know so that I might have a little bit of an idea of where I will be when I got home haha. But anyway I love you and I miss you! I hope you have a good week.

Love Jer
