Cheltenham, England - April 27, 2015

Hey there everyone! So this week has been awesome! I really like Cheltenham. Its awesome with so many missionaries here :) The people are pretty cool and I really like the ward. My companion is the bee's knees basically! She is so cool! She is from Pleasant Grove, Utah. She played sports in high school and is just way chill. So Cheltenham is a really posh area! Everyone has money! haha Its cool though because all the members have way nice houses and things like that :) Everyone has been really nice and welcoming. I am in a bike area now so that will be interesting. Hopefully I don't die in a fiery car crash :) We have a big mission wide conference on Wednesday. No one knows what it is about and it is pretty extreme to have the whole mission come together. It will be like 250 missionaries! Its going to feel like the MTC all over again! haha :) I am really looking forward to it though. We are supposed to be getting Ipads soon, but we have a date for when we are getting those so I don't think that the conference is about that, but it easily could be. The flat here in Cheltenham is alright. The building is pretty old, but its still pretty good. The only bad thing about it is right now it doesn't have hot water so for the last week ice cold showers have been the only option. BRRRR! Hoping that gets worked out soon :) Well that is about as exciting as it gets over here in good ol' England so I will leave you all with a spiritual thought. This is a quote by Dieter F. Uchtdorf that I really liked, "There will be times when you think you cannot continue on. Trust the Saviour and His love. With faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and the power and hope of the restored gospel, you will be able to walk tall and continue on." I love you all! Have a great week!

Love,
