Hey,

MOmmy thank you for the Tesco's it was perfect, It came perfect timing right when we were walking in the door the guy pulled up!! I appreciate all that you do!! The weather is cold but it is good, no more snow just some nice rain and then wind but it hasn't been to bad i think i am used to the winters here now!!California sounds nice though haha just baking up the sun, have fun and enjoy the spa treatment you deserve it!! Send lots of pictures!!

You are right about one thing though mom, President Ogden helped me realize that in one of my last interviews, He said don't take the Book of Mormon for granted it is for our day and age personally it came forth just for us in these last days to guide and direct us, and its true it was writtien to guide us in these latter days! The book of mormon is my favorite thing to read if i don't get a study in the morning the rest of the day i feel i little weak its just my spiritual energy drink haha!!

Wow so what a week, well we have had some trouble here with the Bishop, all i can say is he doesn't really like or agree with the England Birmingham Mission and so apparently for the last year or so he has been making the missionaries job alot harder! and this week we saw it, we had a chinese investigator who got baptized a couple weeks ago and well because the past missionaries have been trying hard to work with the ward better they do sunday baptisms here and then the following week they are confirmed which is just crazy talk making them wait that long to recieve the holy ghost but it is how the Bishop wanted it, and well anyways Luyi got baptized and was supposed to get confirmed this week but he had some visa problems and well is probably going to have to go back to china to sort everything out, and he wasn't going to be able to make it to church this sunday because he had to go to London to sort out somethings with his lawyer and he wasn't sure if he was going to be coming back to Loughborough so we called President on friday and asked what we should do and he said call the bishop and ask him if we can give him the give of the Holy Ghost before he leaves for London, so we do and well the Bishop wouldn't do it for no reason at all he just wouldn't do it so we call President and he was fuming because apparantely it has happened before and well we haven't been able to contact luyi and we think he may have gone back to China and it is breaking our hearts!! We have been talking to President and well he says that he can't have 2 of his best missionaries having to worry about the Bishop and a Zone its to hard so by next week we are pretty sure we are going to be getting transferred to a new area in the Zone!! So its been a crazy stressful last week but i have learnt alot!

thanks for all you do!! have an amazing week!!

I Love You
