Will's letter is in black, and my comments are blue!

Hi Everyone! 

Its good to hear everyone is having fun outside, my farmer's tan is gonna stick, just you wait. 

I (Will's mom) sent this pic to Will after he wrote about hay-fever last week! I asked if /i should find one on amazon.co.uk and send it to him!

HAHA You should get one for my companion too, both of us have hay fever. It guarantees that I'll always be able to blow my nose, it's PERFECT. Umm, speaking of carrots, (I wrote and told him that I cooked half the amount as when he was here, but we still had leftovers. we never had leftover carrots before!) I need to buy some... it's been too long. I'm planning on getting a bunch of fruit too. I'm trying not to buy junk food, and be as healthy as possible with easy foods, but im not the one who cooks, I just clean the dishes after. YESSS! I am missing coming home to food filled fridges and having all that variety. Sounds like its a blast back home, but Morgan's email takes the cake for making me laugh!

I'm learning lots, like what to say when starting a random conversation with someone and how fast we need to say it, as well as learning more and more about the gospel. I'm trying to strengthen my faith right now, I've been studying faith and hope in the Preach My Gospel book and learning ways to strengthen my own faith and how you need hope before you can have faith. Right now we are trying to find investigators because we don't know where the last missionaries left off (not the best missionaries), so we have to find new investigators because the ones they were teaching don't have an address or phone number written down. UGH! So I need stronger faith of receiving miracles to receive those miracles.

Those are some well maintained Stocks!

It has only rained a couple days on me while being out. One day we were late at getting back to the flat, and ended up getting a little lost. Mainly my companion was lost because I knew where to go, but he didn't trust me because we got lost earlier in the day too. We got rained on really bad, and got to the flat late. Earlier that day we were looking for the train station in the morning, to make it to a missionary meeting to say goodbye to President and Sister Preston, and we got lost on the way there and missed our train by 5ish minutes. So we were late for the meeting needless to say. The other time we got rained on wasn't even that bad. It was more of a drizzle and then we got picked up for an appointment right before it started to come down hard.

Oh, and there are a lot of people here that think we are Jehovah's Witnesses, they like to yell things at us while they drive by. The members here are super nice though, the church is about half the size of ours and doesn't have a gym and just one hoop. There aren't that many members but for how many there are we get tons of dinner appointments which is always awesome. I'm also learning to be cautious with money, spending wise.

On Saturday, I saw "Meet the Mormons" its a British documentary about an elder's experience getting ready for his mission and then going on it for a couple weeks. It portrayed us as strange creatures like on animal planet or things like that, it actually bugged me a little. It might be on youtube if you want to see it.

So, that's it from Elder Young! Once again, I can't wait until next week's update! I have to write down all the funny things that happen here to be sure of an interesting email! I may or may not watch "Meet the Mormons"...though now I must admit my curiosity is growing!
