So I am not frozen solid yet. Oldham is in the "Mountains" here more like high rolling hills and so there is snow on the tops of the Pennines here. But once again...I LOVE having a car. NO thinking I have to cut my toes off this year hopefully!
I was out of my area mostly this week. Went on exchanges with Elder Skibbe from Berlin and Elder Boswell from SLC, UT who is one of our Assistants. Learned a lot from both Elder Skibbe is experienced and goes home next week and was able to get back on track this transfer to finish strong. Elder Boswell is a mini mission president. Fireball from the start. Our area though had a great week. (maybe because I was gone...) BUT when I was here we got back in contact with a couple of people we have taught once and they now seem to be really excited. Something just clicked this week as we taught them the importance of 1) our calling as missionaries, 2) our message, 3)commitment and uniting with The Church of Jesus Christ. Many accepted baptism dates and return appointments and church attendance. We will see 2 of them tonight. We are running around like chickens with our heads cut off.
On a more worldly note, I lost 8lbs this week on the Herbal Cleanse and Elder Hughes really liked it as well. Could have been better but I had 2 tea appointments in the middle of the week. The rest I was eating chicken, eggs, salmon, cod, and haddock (random fish I never heard of)...and peppers, assorted veggies, and multiple jars/cans of Salsa!!! WOOP WOOP go me.
I love you all,
Elder Blackburn III or the Foreign one, Good Looking one, ...dare I say it...old one...EEEEESH
