Dear
Family,
It
is time for the family to crowd around the computer again as I spin the tale of
the past week on this junky computer I must use (lol). Anyways, the weather has been constant mist
and rain and I haven't seen the sun for like a week (but as I write this email
the sun is finally shining yeah!) So, it
is kind of gray here a lot and the people aren't much for talking on the
streets. I did get to go into London
this week and that was totally Boss. I'll show you all the photos so be prepared
for a ton of emails!!! I had the time of my life there. I'm in the place were
so many movies have been based, and It’s totally sweet! So we spent the day in London on Monday and
then went back to work as usually throughout the week.
We've
mostly been working with members recently because we have three
investigators... and investigators are
kind of hard to come by these weeks..., I'm not sure if it just England or our
lack of effort... maybe both? I hope it’s not our fault that people aren't
interested.
But
anyways... I went on a work over with the Romford elders about two days ago and ran into some very
interesting people. I'll introduce you
to
[Mom has put this portion of the letter in the restricted section of the stacks:) Email her if you want to read this paragraph.]
Anyways, it has been another fun week in
Grays. Mom, you said you'd send me more
pictures? YES! I'd love more. More for
the room. More to show people. I really
do enjoy those pictures that you sent me, so pick whatever ones you want to
send and get them over here! Lol, I just really like them :)
We had move calls last night and Elder Hansen
and I are staying together for another
six weeks! I'm so stoked. I was afraid we were going to be moved before
I had the chance to see things get rolling here, but everything is ok. So mom, you can still send stuff to me at my
flat address at 34 Vicarage
Square, Grays, Essex. Hey, is that mini
quad coming soon? I really could use one... so just let me know about that as
well. Besides that, it is the end of the
month and we are scraping money here. We are flat broke and just waiting for
the beginning of next week for the next transfer money to come in. I have my
personal money... but I want to avoid using that on basic needs when we should
be able to cover everything with the transfer money. I have to learn to be thrifty, just like in Boy
Scouts... but, we never learned how to be smart with our money in scouts. Either way, you live and you learn.
I think that it is cool that Uncle Paul was in
France. He should have come and visited me... Just kidding! I don't think that is
allowed anyways. I'm jealous you guys have snow. All we get is constant rain
and more rain. I've seen a little bit of slush but that is when the rain
freezes in the morning and then melts in the afternoon... so, its not real
slush. But the house looks really good in the photos you sent me. I love
getting those. They are so pretty. Makes me trunky. I've learned a lot of lingo
out here so when I come back talking like a CHAV don't hate me :) My favorite
word out here is POSH. It means expensive or lavish. So, I say when I see a
nice car, That is a posh car, or a posh
house. It is a fun word, plus there are plenty more I can't cover in
this time. But I hope everyone has recovered from their illnesses and I hope to
hear from you soon. I look forward to
more pictures and emails and stuff :)
Love
your Son and Brother,
Elder Bradley Smith
