Dear Everyone (with special shout outs to Aunt Kathy, Aunt Patty, Patrick, David, Mom, Dad, Nana and Pappy [they wrote last week too - sorry] Elder Bouger [misspelled] and Lindsey for their emails),
Thank y'all so much for the emails this week. I have had quite a bit to read. :) Unfortunately, that gives me less time to write. :P But anyway, so this week has been my first week with my new comp, Elder Bullman. It has been really really fun. We have been working hard and finding many new people to teach (unfortunately few of them look solid at the moment, but such is life). We have been working our tails off though and it has been great. Oh and guess what, they don't celebrate Thanksgiving over here! What's up with that? Haha. Actually there are some funny things that I have noticed. In the North (back home), the civil war is commonly taught as a war over slavery and in the South it is taught as a war over states rights. Well in the States the war for Independence is taught as a great victory and here they don't even acknowledge that they lost! Ha. Anyway see y'all next week.
Many smiles,
Elder W. Tombs
