Derry, Part 2

Oh my heavens west virginia! I drool over the thought of venison burgers, venison jerky, and venison steaks! I've been wanting to go hunting, let me tell you. Which is weird, 'cause I likely wouldn't have before (at least, not as much), but now I really do! 

i dunno why we don't get bikes! Bikes at least; usually, our area being so big, we'd have a car, but the mission has had to be more careful about where they place cars now, since apparently the first presidency has been cracking down on that. We don't have any solid investigators yet. Apparently before I came, there were a few, but they've all sort of dropped off the radar. Yeah, if there's a clear difference between here and Dundalk, it's that people like talking to us even less. Religious groups have obviously caused a lot of problems here, so another one is a little much for some people, even though it's the only right one. They just don't seem to get that. Also, while the branch in Dundalk wasn't the most helpful with missionary work, the Foyle ward is a bit worse. They really don't like working with us. They like us working with them to do ward stuff, but they don't like doing missionary stuff. I don't know the bishop's name (shame on me) but he's a South African fellow, and he's really weird. We have new pass along cards with the #lighttheworld on it. There's lots of Christmas lights set up all over Derry and Belfast and Coleraine. 

It's been a very busy week. We had three days of exchanges in Belfast and Coleraine. It was good, but nothing moved forward in Derry at all, being that we are the only missionaries in the area. Also, the heating in the flat broke while we were away, so it has been froken freazing! A kind member donated a small electric heater to us for the time being. It has been so cold here though. It has snowed once, and hailed a few times. That coat I have is terrific. I bought a beanie, and some new trousers, because one pair has tragically torn. I've gained about eight pounds, so when I hopped a fence a few weeks ago...well, it was too much for my poor trousers to handle. If it's okay, I'm gonna see if I can get some thick socks pretty soon, and maybe order some thermal underwear as well. 

If there is any mail to be sent, you might consider just sending it to the mission home for the time being, because we might be changing flats soon. The one we are in right now is breaking down constantly. YOU DIDN'T ANSWER MY QUESTION! Have you watched an old movie called Buffalo Rider? AND WHY WILL NOBODY TELL ME ANYTHING ABOUT MY COUSIN IN THE MARSHALL ISLANDS!?!?!?!? 

Anywhoseph. See y'all soon! Love you bye!
