Alright, hello everyone, how are you? I'm doing good, but I have to email my mission president today, so I might not have enough time, sorry. So, this last week has been crazy, and I'm most likely going to forget half of everything that happened. I apologize, but I'm not doing it on purpose. :)  So, we just taught a bunch of people this week, so I'll only talk about a few interesting ones. :)
 
Okay, so we taught a lady from Brazil, and we aren't teaching her the gospel, we're teaching her English! :O It's a service thing, and I have no idea how to teach someone English. It's pretty funny, actually. I just sit there and say, "Yeah, yep. That's right! I understand." or any mixture of those words, really. So at least she'll know how to say those! :)
 
Another person we met, this time a member, is this older Scottish woman named Jane. She is hilarious, that's really all I can think to say about her. Oh, she had a tracheotomy in the past, so she has a hole in her throat, but it doesn't really make as big of a deal as you'd think. Umm, let's see, another person we are teaching is a man named Jim. We taught him once last week, and then two days ago we went over and he brought a friend too. Both of them are so cool. And keep in mind that they are from Ghanna, and also during prayers and talks and things they say "That's it." or things like that. It's so cool, I'm probably going to be doing that when I get home from my mission. :D
 
We had 8 people we're teaching come to church, so that was pretty cool because that's a lot of people! And they're all really cool people. I don't remember if I told you about Andrew, but yesterday at church something happened and he over reacted and now doesn't want anything to do with us anymore. But that's ok, it's his choice, and we can't force him to do things he doesn't want to.
 
Oh, I had to give a 10 minute talk yesterday too! They told me two days in advance, so that was nice. :D I spoke on prayer and I'll tell you, giving talks in church is a piece of cake after teaching people about stuff all day long. That's funny mom that we all gave talks on the same day! :)
 
I guess that's it! The world cup is a huge deal over here, if I didn't tell you already. People go crazy over it! And England got smashed 4-1 by Germany, so yesterday some people were a little depressed. :D Well, I'm doing very good, don't worry about me! Today for P-day we are actually going to inside Wimbledon and watch some of the games! It's going to be so cool and you should all be at least a little jealous. I love you guys! Thank you for all the letters and emails, and I wish I could respond to all of them! Some letters I just haven't had the chance to write back, and I'm sorry, and probably won't have time today to write them, so I might not have time until next week!
 
Okay, I probably fogot loads of stuff, sorry. But have a good day! Bye!
