Good morrow everyone, (whomst is on this list) this week has been a pretty good week. Not a whole lot happened, but it was good.
Highlights
Starting a workout routine (bricks in backpack)
Cottage Cheese brekkie
Meal appointments
Walking
I found a piece of 2×8 plate steel in the road. 3/16th thick
Sister Mckeon admitting to animal abuse (Flushed hampster down toilet) (it was dead)
New Shipment of BoM
Soup for District council
Drunk guys trying to bash, never listening to our answers to their “questions”
Warmth, it was pretty warm the last couple of days.
Karaoke night at youth, I sang f
One thing I actually enjoy is just sitting on the bus in my own thoughts. It has been nice to spend time just reviewing different life experiences. And how I have gone about things. I am increasingly greatful for my parents, not only in their way of raising me. But also how great of people they are. My Mom (Hi Mom!) has been sending me small updates on my brothers, and other things going on back home. Those have been nice to read, and have brought upon me not only peace, but reflection. Reflection of who I want to be in life. Where I want to be. I want to be like the Savior (Saviour in Bri”t”ish spelling). And the more I reflect on those atributes. I want to be like my parents. They are so loving, thoughful, humble, hard working, caring, and kind. Too many other beautiful adjectives to give them. But there is a quick plug for my parents. (You are amazing!)
Mostly been doing alot of PMG (Preach My Gospel) study, so not much more to give you from there, other than that you should read it too. My companion has started reading “Jesus The Christ” by Talmage. And every once and a while he will just tell me about how goated ( with the sauce) it is and how full of doctrine it is. I will continue focusing on PMG/Scriptures. But it is for sure on the “To Read” list.
On Sunday we had some friends show up. It wasn’t a normal sacrament meeting. We had a broadcast from the Hyde Park chapel, with Elder Gilbert and Elder Cook. It was very good. Some of our friends had to leave in the middle. But that is okay. I am happy they attended. Some other friends didn’t show up (even though they said they would), including our guy who was on date, but has only come once. (when we took him) So we might need to arrange with a member to pick him up on sunday so he can make it.
Also. I have come to a conclusion…
England isn’t real.
Many reasons for reaching such a drastic statement.
– 1. A pound is weight. Not currency
– 2. no one actually talks like that. They are faking (I’m pretty sure)
– 3. They call a vest, a body warmer. (Litterally anything is a body warmer)
– 4. Most laws aren’t even enforced.
– 5. Trucks are rare. And never used for towing. Thats relegated to commuter cars. Or vans
– 6. “You alright?” Is a greeting when passing by. Not a genuine question
– 7. Entire stores dedicated to birthday cards
– 8. A cupcake is called an. “Iced bun”
There are more. But I will continue the list posthaste.
All jokes. It is interesting here, but I love it.
Today was pretty hot too, high of 90. (I don’t care what the other unit is)
But it honestly wasn’t bad. Felt like South Carolina during basic training. But I’m not getting yelled at and doing the Y squat. So it’s not as fun. But p-day wad good. Got our groceries, had taco bell, which isn’t too expensive. And went to Pontefract park. There is a cool pond there. With ducks, geese, swan, and other fowl. It was pretty. And we played on a playground for a bit, zipline. Then we went to the markets to check out charity shops. Talked to an old guy for awhile because he had a cool motorcycle. A 90’s Honda valkarie. (I’ll put pic). He was really cool. We talked about bikes, religion, life, science. It was nice. I’ve seen him riding around a couple times. Hopefully we will more.
Charity shops here are pretty much like thrift stores. And they are goated. I bought 2 ties. For like 2 pound each. I also bought slippers. Because I am an old man (our flat has no carpet)
I created a budget for me to follow. Because I want to save up some money. For what? I don’t know, maybe another suit, or a puppy. Jk. Unless…
That was the week. All is well, if you want to know more, ask my Mom.
The Book is Blue
The Church is true
And Jesus…
Loves you!
PEACE
