Week 2 - MTC

I missed each one of you this week. You know what? I also missed the smelly black hellhound you keep in the awful chamber outside the garage. You aren't gonna give him away, are you?

So, week two had as many challenges as week one, but I am learning a lot about the gospel, and about being a missionary, and even a little about myself. I'm writing it all in my journal so that I don't forget. 

Am I sad you're going to see Spider-Man without me? Yeah, a little. I saw a billboard in Manchester and I was like: ''Aw man!''. By the way, we went proselyting in Manchester. Only for about an hour and a half, but it was good. I said hi to a lot of people, not a lot stopped to talk to me, and the people that did only took the pass along card and not a book of Mormon. Also, I saw a beggar and gave him all of that 16 pounds Bishop Pierson gave me. A few moments after, I was told that I wasn't supposed to do that, and then i saw another dozen beggars as we went along. I felt very foolish, and kind of ashamed for giving up that money that could've been used better I guess. Can't get it back now though. All in all I was glad to have gone to Manchester. It's a bigger city than I'm used to. 

I missed you all on Canada day. I wish I could have watched the fireworks and then Big Trouble in Little China or something. Me, Elder Bennet, and Sister Fawcett all sang the national anthem at breakfast that morning. What's going on with Eleni? I don't think I ever heard about that. 

One of the sisters in my district--Sister Geier--reminds me sooooo much of Tamara that it's crazy. 

Last week and today (and I think once more next week) we went to sessions in the temple in Chorely. It's right next to the MTC here, about 3 minutes of walking. Smaller than Cardston, but very very beautiful, as is to be expected of a house of the Lord. Other than that on p-days, I do this and laundry and more studying. By the way, Elder Christiansen is from St. George, Utah. 

The weather here is mainly cloudy and wet, but we've had a few sunny days. (Elder Christiansen took me out jogging and it nearly killed me). I will depart from the MTC next week on Wednesday (early morning). I don't know much more. 

That's all for now. I'm still very happy and moving ever onward. Ba-bye!

P.S. By the way, I want no changes! I don't want any of you leaving the church, or getting divorced, or moving to far away places, or dying! The only change I will accept is additions: you may be married and/or have children. Other than that, EVERYONE JUST BE GOOD!! 

Oh, and tell Aunt Suzanne that I got her letter, I was able to read all of it, and I am very happy that she was able to write me.
