Got any Games?

Things are good here in London!
Elder ward and I are killing it right now.; Having a blast.

First things first, it has been snowing here like crazy. It snowed 6 inches last night and it has been snowing all week. The sisters got stuck in the church parking lot....... ha had to dig em out.


Second thing. WE GOT SMART PHONES. It's super weird and kinda annoying.. we have to put every record we have in our apartment onto a "digital area book" and it takes like an hour per record...... Its rough. But we will be getting facebook soon and whatnot. So its getting real.

We were also able to meet with some of our investigators Laura and Cynthia. Laura now has a date for Feb 3rd!!! She is super excited. And Cynthia is now praying for what day will be best for her to be baptized.

The funny experience of the week:
We got a referral for a guy and set up an appointment with him Sunday night. We went over and his mom answered the door and called him down, when he saw us he was super confused and didn't know who we were. We asked him if he requested anything off of mormon.org and he told us no. We then told him that we were the ones that have been texting him the past day, and he looked at his phone and our texts weren't on there. Turns out his buddies pulled a prank on him and sent us over. his mom let us in anyways and we taught the restoration and we are going back this Sunday!

The recent convert family in the ward has an 8 year old and a 3 year old. They are from Nigeria and CRAZY cute. They were climbing all over us at church and we pretty much just babysat them because they didn't want to go to primary and nursery. ha gotta love it.

It's been real.
love you all!!!--

Elder Ward

So things are good here in LONDON!!!! I got my transfer call and am now here with my boy Elder WARD! I roomed with him in the MTC and never thought I would get to serve with him!


Elder Ward and Elder Bakker

Not much to tell but I've only been here for like 20 hours.... but its been good so far.
He has this little cow in the apartment that he is teaching me how to rope. Oh and he is a total farm boy. He is from a little town called Clifton, Idaho where the cows outnumber the people like 50:1. Super cool!

Also unfortunately my last comp slipped on some ice last transfer and crashed our car into a tree....... totaled. ugh. Not the best week hahahah all that matters is that we are both safe and sound.

Not much else going on right now, see you next week when we are pro team ropers.
