Dear Family,
I can't think of anything else to add in the box you're going to send. I'm sure I'll enjoy whatever surprises you decide to throw in. Another SD card for my camera might help. I think they're a lot more expensive over here, from what I've seen. I can burn all the pictures from my current SD card onto a CD and then send the card over, and then you can send it back, and so forth. I've realized the value of taking pictures all the time - I'll really enjoy them later.
Just this last week we had Zone Conference again. I got to see a lot of missionaries that came out with me. It's always fun when missionaries get together because you see so many of your past friends and companions. It's be especially exciting for me because I've already served with so many people, so most of the faces are familiar. Anyway, we had another Area 70 come and talk with us. His name sounded like Elder Piya, but I don't know how to spell it. He's from France, so maybe Mom will know how that's supposed to go. His talk was mostly on what we can do as missionaries to find people and progress them towards baptism by building a relationship of trust with them. It was a really good talk, and afterwards at lunch, they served a lot of American foods which everyone was excited about. The Zone Conference was in Harrogate, which is right nex to an American military base, so they went and bought a lot of things like Lays potato chips and some Doritos and A&W root beer which we all went crazy over because you can't get root beer here.
Today Elder Perkins and I are being taken by some members back to Gateshead to go the Metrocentre there. So I'll probably be seeing some familiar places today. It's Elder Perkins' last full working week before going home, so he wants to do a lot of things and see a lot of people before he leaves.
Now that I think about it, next week will be transfer calls and I'll be finding out who's coming into Newton Aycliffe to replace Elder Perkins. So that should be a fun next week. Elder Perkins is always talking about what he's going to do when he gets home, then he always tells me how scared he is to go home right after that. It's pretty funny.
Anyway the members are picking us up in about 5 minutes now. Look forward to hearing from you next week-
Love,
Elder Alsop
