Dear family and friends (namely Dad, David, Patrick, Nana and Pappy, and Lindsey for e-mails and Brittany for written post),

So life here in England carries on as usual..... Except that it is getting pretty cold! It isn't really that bad most days, in fact, hearing that El Paso has had snow really makes me count my blessings.

It normally stays close to 0 degrees C most nights and is a bit warmer in the day. I haven't even had to break out the inlining for my jacket yet.:) But nights, after it rains, the roads get SO slick! And.. Gateshead has tons of hills, so I am glad that we don't have a car here. :)

Just as a side note I love sliding down hills! :) I went almost 30-40 yards the other night (on my feet) with one push. (Sort of the same way we always did in the driveway when we were younger, jumping on to ice patches. :)) Oh and Dad you told me to invite/challenge people to be baptised earlier. Well, here in the Leeds, England mission we invite people to be baptised no later than the first appointment :) It is the best gift we have to offer, why wait any longer than that?

Well G2g peeps, talk to ya in 13:)

Love,

Elder W. W. Tombs
