Hey, I am in  my first area! I 'm in the Brixton London area which is south of London, but I'm not sure where.  google it....

 

I'm doing great, but I am a little nervous. My companion is Elder Muller (but the u has those dots above it), and he is from  Switzerland! So that's pretty cool. I've been to our flat, and it is hidden between two shops, we're surrounded by shops! It's pretty cool, but I'm so dazed and confused right now my companion probably thinks I|'m an idiot! :D

 

Oi, I forgot about the mission president! President Shamo is so awesome. He is so happy and makes jokes like you wouldn't believe! But he's also a very spiritual man and knows exactly what he is doing. I'm excited to have him as a mission president. ok bye!

A few minutes later:
So, We all left the mtc yesterday, and stayed at the mission home on the london temple grounds last night. This morning/afternoon, we got our new companions and assigned areas. I'm in Brixton, as I said. I'm nervous a little, and I'm going to be riding so many trains and buses and maybe even some undergrounds!  Today so far, it is about 4 30 in the afternoon, and I've been in a van, then a train, then a double decker bus. yes, a red one!  And I got a transportation card for the next two weeks, to cover all that. We went to our flat, and then unpacked, and now came to a little computer cafe thing. It's a really small place, with about ten computers, that look so torn up and old! But it works. After this, I guess we're going to go mail some letters that I've written. I've gotten all the letters that were sent to the mission home, ... So, I'm sending some letters today, so they should be there in about 5 or 6 days. I didn't have time to write everyone back, so sorry. But I did get a few written. :)

We are going to meet with a guy tonight, and I'm hoping I don't mess things up. He's had a hard life recently, so I hope I don't do anything to offend him or something dumb. Oh well, I'll just have faith.

I'm so excited to be out here! Give me a month or two, and I'll actually have an idea of what the heck I am doing. Hopefully. :) Alright, gots to go! Love ya, bye!
