Big Ben

Hello friends and family.

Last week went by way too fast for me to even remember what happened. We have been trying to contact lots of potentials. Many of them we only have their phone numbers. Most of them we haven't been able to contact because they haven't answered. We have had better luck with the less actives we have been trying to contact although some of them we have found out have moved away. 

A few of our appointments last week have been cancelled but we were still able to somehow stay busy. We work closely with the members and it feels good that they have our trust. It seems like the biggest problem with our investigators is that they are very busy. 

We finally got a baptismal date for Sam; he's been to church I think four times now but we've only been able to teach him for the first time on Saturday. I think we're hopefully seeing him every Saturday now because that's the only time he's free. So things are going good, we're keeping busy so that's good.

Last Monday up in London was nice. The Big Ben is not as tall as I thought it would be but it definitely is big. It looks smaller in the pictures I took than it seemed in real life (or we look further away in the pictures). We could only go half way across the bridge because the other half of the bridge is actually the other London Mission, so this is as close as we could get. 

There was a stand selling merchandise and they had two shirts for £10 so I got some t-shirts. I also got some post cards so I'm going to need some addresses. I've already got your's and grandpa Baker's but I need Kaitlyn's, grandpa and grandma Fisher's, and Braedon's if you can. Did you get the post card that I sent from the Romsey Abbey?
