Hey Mum and Dad how are you doing today?:) I'm doing good this week was pretty bomb. We taught a lot of people although our temple trip didn't work out it was a good week. We did some basketball contacting. In the white handbook it says to try new and creative ways of finding people to teach. so we tried basketball contacting. It worked. We taught like six people at the courts! Some of them are like 15-16 years old and they really look up to us since I'm good at ball and the fact that we abstain from certain things and they have all wanted to learn more. So we're hoping this week to go and teach them and their families! It's made me really happy though being able to be looked up to from the youth here, its hard for teens now a days and like if i can help them and change their lives ill be happy so were excited for that! Adam has a baptism date for the 25th! We had a family home evening this past week at a members house and we showed him the bible videos and we talked about Christ and the Atonement it was a sweet experience. ( I was leading the FHE) there were times during it where I just couldn't talk I just let the spirit touch everyone because it was so strong in there. The church is true. I also watched "Two Brothers" again last night. man that movie gets me every time. It makes me want to do better and it makes me realize how much I miss my brother and my family in general. It was a nice reminder that I have an amazing family back home. I'm reading Jesus the Christ right now as well as the old testament. I'm not sure how I feel about the old testament, yet ha ha its got some interesting stuff in it. But hey my knowledge is growing and I'm thankful for that! this week ....I was going to put on my sweats, and I'm deathly afraid of SPIDERS!...I found the biggest spider ever on my trousers and I screamed so loud!  It was about the size of my palm. It was so big! I freaked out. and the past few nights I feel like little spiders have been crawling on me lol but I got rid of the spider. luckily England only has one poisonous spider! lol I'm good I'm happy the church is true, Jesus is the Christ and I'm happy I'm on a mission wouldn't want to be anywhere else. love you mum and dad.

Hello Mum and Dad!
We had a really good week this past week. We taught a lot of people. We set a goal to hold a family home evening at least once a week for our investigators and it has been going well. We've accomplished it and it's helped our people a lot. This man we're teaching called Adam, his wife is a member we taught him the plan of salvation this past week and he accepted to be baptized and we just need to set a date for him!  His wife and him are so cool! We're seeing them three times this next week as well as going to the temple with them. I know that will be the extra punch that Adam needs! We're still teaching Cindy, but right now she isn't dong to much which is unfortunate. but were still working with her to try and get her to progress were going to extend  a new date to her this upcoming week! We're excited for her and we hope she will except. We have been doing a lot of knocking and finding to try and find new investigators its going well we have picked up a few cool people who we need to contact this next week. A member brought a friend from turkey this past week so were going to be teaching him. So things are going great. the ward is great they love Elder Silito and I. We get fed every night! its bomb. I'm really enjoying the work here in reading especially with elder Silito I've been able to help him a lot but he has also helped me which is really awesome. I'm grateful for that. Things are good and time is going fast. I can't believe that I only have 8 mnths left!

 Fishing with a family that is investigating the church.

 I caught 3 fish that day.  This is the young man we are teaching.  He is 14.

Um...ya:) I caught three fish that day. Elder Silito did as well. But everytime he tried to pick up the fish to take a picture the fish would slip out of his hand back in the water hahaha

Hey mum! Things are going good. Elder Silito and I are having a lot of fun here in Reading. We're doing some cool things. There is this homeless man called Jim that we talk to everyday and he's such a good guy. So when I was talking to him today I had the impression to give him  a gift bag sort to speak of new clothes and a new jacket because his are dirty.  It will be awesome he's a good guy we also met this lady called Mary who came up to us in the streets and said she wanted to be taught by us she just left her husband and is struggling financially so were going to try and help her out if she come she comes to church and stuff. many miracles happening here!! things are good:) love ya mum
