The August Half-Way Point

Hey I'm almost to the top of the mountain! Yeah! Only a few more weeks and I hit the peak then its all down hill from there :) 
Well I hope you guys have had a good week so far. Mine has been fairly busy and all. We've been doing service for the members here like crazy... so we get to wear our regular clothes for like the first time in a century :P Its feels nice. Plus for the first time I'm actually getting a TAN! NO WAY! You know that ugly tan line you get from wearing a watch all the time... well I have a brilliant one of those :) First time I actually look like a Brazilian... not! I just look uber red... thats all really :P 

So I'm enjoying the sun for a change... I just wish it wasn't so hot during the night... but that's what you get with the summer sun. Missionary work is about the same to be honest. I never really go into details because you guys would get bored reading my letters, so I'll try to keep them interesting. I can't believe I'm already 4 out of 6 weeks into this transfer... its gone by so flippin fast. Probably because I have a awesome companion. Much easier than my last one that is for sure :) I guess I need the hard before I get the easy. 

So today we are going into the wonderful world of London again for our good London P-day :) I need to take my companion to all the good sites and all because he hasn't visited big ben and all the rest... so you'll probably get a lot of pictures next week consisting of me and my comp around the big sites here in London. We are going to have a blast though. So I'm going to be really tired at the end of the day again though. London always does that to me. 

We have a big mission conference this next Monday... so I lose my p-day... but we have the director of the missionary department of the church coming and he's giving a conference to us about the facebook and electronics and all that good stuff that is going to be coming out to missionaries. At least that's what we think its about. President hasn't told us what he's going to be speaking about so we are just going to have to find out when we show up. But we believe he'll be talking about the announcements made at the Work of Salvation broadcast that was this last June. So we are pretty excited over here for that stuff. That'll probably change a lot of the way that we do missionary work around here. London is very technology oriented place. Almost everyone here is plugged into a smart phone and headphones... its a little bit ridiculous. I probably would be like them to if I wasn't a missionary though :P

Well I'm working my way through the hottest August England has seen in a long time. The sun is out, the people are literally not wearing clothes here in Romford :P and I'm seeing a little to much walking "porn" if you know what I mean. Essex... what are we going to do in this place... So we'll have to work on modesty standards here for a bit. 

Anyway I hope you guys have had a good week. Don't get into to much trouble, and it sounds like with all the pool parties and all that I'm missing out on a lot of fun. But you guys don't have London to enjoy though either :) HA. I have some leverage on my side :P Anyway have a good week guys.

Love,
