Leeds/Keighley

due to the internets ability to stalk people - i found a photo of Brennan's new neighborhood
Lol, well, I've finally made it out of the MTC and into the field! So far, it's been a bit strange! But in a good way! So after my last email, we all went in a van to the stake center here in Leeds, and I met with President Pilkington and his wife! They're awesome! Sister Pilkington is a super sweet lady! President Pilkington is awesome too! He's super passionate, you could almost describe his personality as "fiery" (it took me a whole minute to find those quotes signs, because they're the number 2 key here, and the @ sign is where it is on a states keyboard). But he's really funny! It's pretty hilarious, he gets so passionate sometimes, he just yells out "WELL BLOW ME!!!" and you can see all the missionaries struggle to hold it together :p I then met my companion Elder Schwarzkopf (I hope I spelled that right, I can't see his badge from this angle). He's German (Hamburg) and has been here 6 months. He's a really genuine guy, and seems to really be trying his hardest with teaching me the ropes! After meeting Schwarzkopf, we hitched a ride with Cole and Manugh back to Keighley where we live. It was an...interesting ride to say the least! We sorta got lost on the backroads, and ended up going way out of our way! Lol, but it was good to get to know everyone! Cole is actually from Mesa, and he's our district leader. BTW my address while I'm here in Keighley is 74 Mannville Rd, Keighley, BD22 6AT, UK.    We're living with a member family, in their third floor apartment. It's a nice place! We have a seperate bedroom, which is more then some can say! The family has two cats, one's name is Thomas, and the others is Jasmine. Thomas is an adorable white cat with orange splotches, and he opens the door and bounds upstairs to have us pet him. He's really cute. Jasmine is a persian cat, and as everyone who's lived here has described, she's "A very Posh cat", and I didn't get how a cat could be "Posh" until I saw her and..well... she's pretty posh! It's good to have them around though, because it gives us a little mascot. 


Mom/everyone: We're going to try and skype you on mothersday (sunday), and see how that goes. 

Alright, I gotta go. Love you guys soooo much!
