Dear family+friends+random strangers (with special shout outs to Patrick, Mom, Tyler, and Lindsey for emails this week and a BIG round of applause for Lindsey for written post and my favorite Christmas gift I have received on my mission! :))

This week was SO good! I am just so pumped to write y'all about a few of the people here, but I know as soon as I write they disappear. So I will just have to wait for the 17th!!!!!!!! (hint hint) :) Every team in the mission here has set a goal to baptize at least one convert by the end of the year, and so far it looks like it is going to happen! :) North Shields (one of the teams in my zone) was looking really good to baptize a girl named Barbara. But then her mother got really sick and she had to go down to London to care for her. Then, this Sunday they fasted that she would be able to be baptized and 15min after they broke their fast they got a call from
Barbara saying that her mother died and that she would be able to be baptised. Miracles are happening here in England even if they do include sadness.

But yup - g2g till next week,
Love Elder Tombs
(Ha.. when I put it like that, it sounds like a command.)

P.S. Could somone send me a good/ easy pancake recipe (from scratch). We have tons of syrup in the flat.
