Alright first off, AMERICA WENT THROUGH TO THE SECOND ROUND!!!! WOO HOO!!!! Ugh, seriously the Brit's are rubbing off on me. I've never been this engrossed in learning about a sport before! It sorta sucks though, because now we're going to get DEMOLISHED by Belgium, while Germany will probably go through to the Semis, so booooooooo for that! That's been a highlight of my week!
Oh, I just realized I think I've totally forgotten to mention something really cool! The Tour de' France goes through Keighley on Sunday! That's pretty awesome! I'll get to witness an international event! It does suck though, because the main road in Keighley will be shut down, so we literally can't get to ANY of our investigators because they're on the other side of the road from us, and you can't cross the road anywhere for the whole day! So there will be A LOT of knocking and tracting that day :p But still, cool story to tell the kids someday!
Speaking of Kids, how is Noelle doing?!?!? Is the Baby ok??? Do they have a due date yet? How far along is it? Gender? Do they want to learn the gender? Is she saying she's getting fat? You aren't fat Noelle! You're growing a little person inside you!!!!! I got a bit sad this week, because we read the portion in the handbook on baby blessings, and I realized I wouldn't get to be there to bless my little niece or nephew :( I'm gonna be uncle Chim :))))))))))
So some more things about me, here in the Leeds mission we do not get to use technology, which is actually quite irksome, because literally THE WHOLE WARD here uses Ipads and Iphones to coordinate, and it would just be so much easier if we could access the apps they have to keep up to date on the calender, but we kick it old school here with paper and pen :)
The food here is like any place you have your good and your bad. The one thing that I could say EVERY dish could improve on is more spices, but then again I chugged some Chohula straight from the bottle the other day because I was so sick of bland stuff, so my opinion on that could be invalid :P But there are some things over here that are reallllllyyyyyy good, like toad in the hole. It's pretty much a bread pudding that you bake with sausages in and then you smother with gravy :) All the pasties are DELICIOUS. One other thing that's quite cool, is that over here they can actually make stuff. Like, they'll make a cheesecake for you in 2.2 seconds or brownies or anything like that. (Mom's note: I can't help but feel this is all due to failure on the part of my cooking/baking more than it is a fact that the English can make cheesecake faster than we can...but maybe!) Pretty much anything that's sweet, the English can make it.
I hope you're all doing alright! I hope Holden and Noelle are coping well with the ticking time bomb. I hope Jordans getting tan but not skin cancer tan. I hope Dad's not driving the people at work crazy. I hope Mum knows how much we all love her. I hope Skye is keeping the house safe. I hope Digby isn't TOOOO fat. I hope Bella is calm Bella.
Love you all sooooooo much! Talk to you soon!
