Dear loved ones, (I am not sure if that should be capitalized)

So thank you everyone who wrote me this week (Nana, Pappy [it feels odd not putting an "and" right there], Dad, Mom, David, Aunt Kathy, and Lindsey). Arg!!! Cowboys need to win! But if they do have a terrible season, I am glad I am in England where no one cares :P. Oh and Baptism! (x2) It was amazing! But it took a huge chunk out of our day :P (Kind of an odd thing to be peeved about :P) Oh and I am going to send some pics of what our flat is like over here just because it is WAY nicer than I expected. Oh and guess what?? I cut my own hair! (Twice!) Yeah, my hair was getting way too long so I chopped it off. And then apparently it was still too long :P My hair is extremely short right now as you can see in the picture of Elder Winder and I. That is Elder Winder, he was my best buddy in the MTC. He was soooo odd but really really funny. Ah good times oh speaking of pictures, I think Mary Beth will really enjoy some of his art. (This is my first week to really send pictures so I am sending alot.) Oh and this is my companion in the MTC, Elder Holland (and me looking awkward:P) but funny story about him. He seemed to have a hard time in the MTC remembering that he couldn't flirt with the sisters. (We all made fun of him for that (in a nice brotherly way) but he is off now in the Scotland Ireland Mission. Last week at zone conference (also epic - I have like the greatest zone leaders ever) the letters from the mission office were there and he had written Sister Belleston a letter :P Very funny in my opinion - especially because she is 2 years older than he is. But anyway, here is my new(ish) companion, Elder Montgomery. Oh and Mom you would be so proud of me. I am eating really healthly. (With the exception of members who try to kill us with food.) I have been eating actual fruits and vegetables (veggies mostly when members serve them). But last week I even went so far as to buy a head of (wow I can not spell! the grean leafy salad stuff). Yeah be impressed :) But anyway I just got the 1 min warning so G2G.

Love,

Elder W. W. Tombs
