Hello everyone, especially Mom, Dad, Patrick, Mary, Nana & Pappy, Tyler, and Lindsey,

So this week was really exiting! I have tons to write but verry little time. But hey, I know you could all write me letters! Like seriously, every day when we come in for lunch, there is this thrill knowing that you might have posted. Lindsey is writing me weekly and that makes me happier than almost anything I can imagine. Nana sent a wonderful photo album (thank you so much by the way - that has really brightened up my flat). And just the other day, my ward mission leader sugested that I carry a photo of my family arround to sort of humanise myself instead of being mr missionary so that helped alot. :)) But they have lives and can't make sure I get a letter every day can they? Haha. But seriously, anyone who writes me will get a letter in return.....with probably much more info than I can email :P. But anyways.... so funny story time. So at zone meetings we always end with a testimony meeting. So I get up to bear my testimony and I have no idea what to say, but I start by saying how wonderful my comp/trainer is because we really are working hard and doing well, and I say, "Elder Montgumery is so awesome" :P "Awesome" is a slang word here and missionaries are not supposed to use it. I realize my mistake and say, "Oh crap."!!!!!! Yeah, g for genious. Crap is actualy like a mild swear word here. SO embarassing but I think I pulled it together after that and we all had a good laugh about it. Definitely not one of my finer moments though.

But anyway g2g,

Love, Elder W. W. Tombs

P.S. Will a man rob Elder Tombs? Yet ye have robbed me. And ye say wherin have we robbed thee? In letters and written notes. Wherefore bring ye all the letters unto the post office that there may be mail in my house saith the Elder, and prove me now hearwith if I will not open unto you the windows of England and pour you out a letter that there shall not be room enough to recieve it.

(Yeah, seriously write me! It costs like 98cents to get a letter here. That is less than a meal at taco bell so tell all your friends.) :)
