Pappy for card+$, and Lindsey for written post!
So first off, sending me candy= a bad idea. :P I loved it but it was gone by noon the next day. I have always been a big fan of snacking, but I never buy any snack food so here I am safe, that is... until some comes through the post box. Haha. But anyway, in other news, Thanksgiving isn't much of a holiday over here (at all). But I did have a pie (a meat pie but a pie), ate too much (partially the candies fault), and I got a letter from Lindsey that day (so spent time with family/friends (ish)), so I think I covered all of the Thanksgiving traditions. Also it is getting cold over here. And the sun has completely set and it is dark by around 4:30! It is ridiculous! But for the last few days we have had somewhere to go when the sun sets so it has been pretty nice. :) Oh and here is something about England, lots of people don't open their doors after dark. So knocking doors becomes much less effective. As a funny note though some people yell from the other side "who is it?" and if you answer, "It is the missionaries..." than they will just say to go away, but if you answer "it's Elder Tombs and Elder Bullman" they open up. They ask who is it to make sure that the person at the door is not some serial killer waiting to knife them and steal their stuff and yet saying I am a random stranger whose name you don't recognise works better than, "I am a servant of the Lord sent to offer you eternal salvation." :) I noticed that last night and pointed it out to Elder Bullman and we both had a good laugh but I gots to goes till next week,
Elder W.W. Tombs
