May 7th, 2013 Jacob

Hey guys sorry about the late letter. There was a bank holiday here so basically, every government agency, program, or off shoot was shut down. Including the Library. So we got permission to write to you guys on tuesday! Yeah!!!!
 
So first off, MOM.... Happy birthday to you, Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday dear mommy that i miss so much...... Happy birthday to you!!!!!! Mom if you read that first, early in the morning, than maybe im the first one to tell you happy birthday. ;)
 
So yesterday i got to go to bristol for p-day which was a blast. I got to see some graphiti from a famous artist and wow was it cool. I also got to play futball again. YES! I didnt realize how much I missed actually playing a sport with a team.  It was really cool to, because the futball pitch was at the top of a hill in a park so i could see for miles in every direction. I also got to see the first methodist chapel in England. It was pretty legit. Because we are awesome we also got to go into their special library they had and i got to hold some books from the 1700's! Guys that about 300 years ago. These books were around before america was. It was really cool expereince that not many people got to have in their lifetimes. It was also cool to see the similarities between the methodist church and out. The man who formed the church was John Wesly and when he made it, he basically said, This is the best we can do until god chooses to restore his church..... Well hello, here we are. The church of jesus christ of latter day saints. :) Haha it was a super cool experience. Ill try to send some pictures if i have time.
 
So this last week was a rush. Nothing really sticks out except that Me and my companion went tracting together for the first time on sunday. Haha ya, for the first time. We are focusing a lot of out efforts this week on finding since we have load of less actives, and recent converts to teach but almost no investigators. Our goal is to have about 9 investigators by the end of this week. Wish us luck and pray for us.
 
Mom, the names are Judie and Zoe. Sorry we dont have the last names. We went around to try and visit them since they didnt come to church again, and we ended up being able to talk to Zoe. But because of mission rules it was a short visit. We asked to come back later, they got our number, and said that they would text us when they had a time for us to visit. Thats a little disheartening because when you put it in their hands to contact the missionarys and set up a time. It almost never happends. They forget or just loose interest and then we loose contact. We are trying everything we can to stay in contact though and we are praying every chance we get, that something touches their hearts again to the point where they will want us to come back.  Later today we are going around to another referall that we got, and see if they will become investigators. Im praying that they will.
 
So mothers day (sunday?) I was thinking about calling you in the evening here. Maybe around seven. That way it will be twelve at home and it wont interfear with maren and stephanies time, where because there is less of a time difference, they can call you later also. I will be able to skype you guys but Im going to need your skype information, number, ext. Ill be checking this again on saturday so ill be able to see what the final game plan is. Just dont laugh at me. My companion shaves with a cut throat razor and when i saw it, i immedietly wanted to learn how to shave like a gentleman. Booyah. So i got one and ive been shaving with it. The only problem? They cut, super easily. The first day i shaved i got a huge cut right by my mouth. Haha and the next day, and the next day, and the next day. yesterday and today were the first days that i shaved without cutting my self. BE PROUD!!! Haha its a cool experience .
 
So issac.... you studly man you. Way to go!!!!!  FIRST PLACE. You will soon be able to join me in the title of SUPREME STATE CHAMPIONS!!!!!! just cause we are cool like that. Haha
 
Caleb. Wow your already changing. I cant imagine the guy you are gonna be when i get back. How are you doing with my challenge from last week? I promise that if you do that, happiness will start pouring out of you ears.
 
Nate. I miss ya bud. Some people here really remind me of you and makes me miss my budy that i would go and get pizza with. But the cool thing is that over here people are usually short so i dont have a height complex anymore Haha.
 
Simeon. Love ya bud. There are a lot of kids your age in the ward and whenever i see them, it makes me think of you.
 
Tania!!!!! Love ya sis. I hope your house is working out. I dont know the time table. But I hope that if the roomates have moved in, then they are awesome. They are gonna have to be if they are rooming with my sister cause shes just a little ball of fiery awesomeness. Oh and hows the CAD team doing. DO they miss me? Haha.
 
Mom and Dad! Dad you scared me when you said that you were moving. My heart skipped a beat. Im sorry about the extra work, i feel bad not being there and being able to help you guys out. The plus side is that i do plenty of yard work over here....... plenty. Thats all the service we do. Haha! Mom i feel ya about the knees. I found out that i have terrible knees. :p
 
I love ya guys. Sorry about scaring you, by not writing sooner. Cant wait to talk to you guys on sunday.
