When we arrived in Preston we were met at our bungalow by the zone leaders and Sister Carter and her daughter Hannah. Sister Carter gave us these beautiful roses which she put in our kitchen window while Elder Blunck and I talked with President and Sister Ulrich. The cute little pansy was in our front yard hidden in the grass. When I spotted it I felt that it was welcoming us to England. We were very careful to not step on it.
1st letter
Hi Family!
We are at the library taking a minute to
email. We have been very jet lagged and trying to keep up with our
days. We feel very comfortable here. Our bungalow is so cute. We
sleep well at night for the most part except when it rains and the wind
blows. Our house moans when the wind is crazy outside. We went for a
walk the other morning and we were soaked by the time we got home, not
from the rain but from the drizzle.
On our first Sunday here
went to two wards. We met people from Scotland, Germany, Romania,
Africa, Switzerland, Finland, Philippines, Madagascar, Ecuador, USA,
China and of course England. It is definitely a multi-cultural place. We
will be teaching a Book of Mormon class on Wednesday nights and YSA
Family Home Evening on Monday nights. There is a pretty big group of
YSA here because there have so many universities. We were able to go to
two baptisms this week, which were very special.
Elder
Blunck and I are slow moving but our hearts are full of desire to serve
the Lord. We have only gotten lost once (PER day) and hope we can figure
out the roundabouts soon because they are causing some crazy driving
experiences for us. The Elders and Sisters laugh at us and think we are
so funny but seriously the roundabouts are causing some problems. We
end up an hour away from our destination and late. Not good for brand
new missionaries. Oh well, we are happy, healthy and terrific.
We love you all! Heavenly Father knows our every need and is blessing us. Trust in Him.
Love, Elder and Sister Blunck
