Hello family and friends.

I've been getting songs by Duran Duran stuck in my head lately so when I'm finished my mission I'll definitely have to start listening to them.

Last week went by so fast. We've been busy with a lot of things. Every Wednesday we have a district meeting at the chapel but in this zone they always gather as a zone for the last Wednesday of the transfer to have a big pancake breakfast, and then we split off in our districts for our meetings. This zone does a lot of things together. We also had General Conference of coarse. It was really good.

 I want to print off a number of the talks later on to go over in my study time. We went to Pauline and Tim's (the Welch's) house for the Sunday Morning session after they fed us lunch. (Because of the time difference we watched it live in the afternoon.) Sam went to the Saturday session and the priesthood session and he really enjoyed them. We still haven't been able to teach him but I feel like he's learning a lot from coming to church. We are going to move his baptismal date back and just meet him when we can. We moved the baptismal date for Bennett. He's doing good but we've had a few lessons cancel and we feel like he needs more time. He feels like this is good for him because he said he wants more time to read and pray. 

We gave Isaac a tour of the chapel. He's a less active we found from Ghana who moved here five years ago and hasn't been to church since. He really enjoyed it and seeing the baptismal font brought back memories for him. He had a big smile on his face. He has forgotten many things so we are teaching him all the lessons and answering lots of his questions. Things are going good, still keeping busy.

Out of all the conference talks, I liked the talk by Joel Klingblat about spiritual confidence. It was the Saturday afternoon session. There were some pretty unique topics this conference.

It sounds like winter is getting close back home. It is cooling down in England as well, and we are getting some cold days. It's been a really dry summer but now it's raining. When the sun is out it's nice and warm.

And I still don't know what I want for Christmas. Don't send me too many sweets. Actually it would be cool if you could send me some stuff you can only get in Canada. I can't think of any examples.
