Staying in Leeds!

Mum,
Well the first news is that I'm staying in Leeds 4 for another 6 weeks. That'll be 7 1/2 months total, I'm pretty excited. It'll be hard but me and Elder Smith are really excited, we are gonna work our butts off. Hopefully six weeks will continue to build this area up as much as we can, we'll hopefully see some baptisms as well. To let you know about investigators I'll start with Andrew and Becky. No wedding plans yet but they are striving to live the word of wisdom and I'm really happy for them. They weren't able to come to church last week but things are looking really good for them. Jamie is out of town for an entire week so still won't be able to come to church! Other than that he is doing good. I'm pretty sure he'll be baptised this next month. Those are really our main investigators right now. We've been trying to find new people and we've been struggling but then the Lord provided and we found 4 new investigators in one day. Hopefully they all come to church and we can schedule some people for baptism in the next month. The work is getting really exciting and I'm sad to realise that I'll hit my year mark soon. I can't believe I'm almost half done, it is going by way to quick. I'm just gonna have to take advantage of everything I've got and work my butt off! Literally as well, I've been getting fat!!! Thanks for the birthday stuff. I got two cards from the Vistaunets last week so send them my love and thanks for the money as well. I'll probably take my driving test pretty soon so that might be a bit pricey. Can you send me my balance one more time? I'll find out how much it costs all together and then let you know. I love you mum, thanks for everything. Talk to you next week!

Dad,
I'm staying in Leeds 4!!!!! That'll make 7 1/2 month all together! I was pretty sure I was staying but you can never tell with transfers. It will be difficult to be in one area for that long but we're really excited anyways. Me and Elder Smith were talking about it and we're excited to have 6 weeks just to work our butts off. There will be nothing getting in the way and we both just wanna work hard. I know we'll see blessing from it as well. My fearless district leader for 6 months in going zone leader so we're getting a new district leader who is younger than all of us. I've heard a little bit about him and I think this will be another interesting 6 weeks. He's really good and humble but this is his second area and his companion has been out as long as him, it might be a bit difficult for him for a while but me and Elder Smith are gonna help him out. It's gonna be another great adventure! Andrew and Becky are doing really well, hopefully we'll set a date with them to be baptised this next week, it may be a bit far away but I'm excited for them. We are working with some really great people but we're gonna focus on finding more and more and more. It's gonna be a really exciting transfer. I'm sad to hear about Sister Lindsey, there is a member over here that has MS and I realise now that Sister Lindsay never let it show how much pain she was in. She was a great lady. I can't help but smile about the coopers hawk! In England nobody is even allowed to have guns! It's one of my favourite conversations to have with people over here! Oh that reminds me, have you talked with Elder Smith's parents yet? I was just curious because his dad works as a mechanic for Delta Airlines and might now Jimmy. I dunno if he will but that would be funny if they did. Well I think I have to go to an appointment in Leeds 2 with a Romanian speaker this morning so I'll have to finish this. Dont' worry, there is an interpreter, I don't speak Romanian...yet. I love you Dad. Take care of yourself and everything back home for me. Talk to you next week!
