Dear Family,
Last night was moves calls. Elder Adler and I are staying in Norwich together for another transfer and we are going to tear this zone apart. We have had a couple baptisms over these past two weeks and we are peparing others to also make their covenants.
Hopefully, I will be sending some letters in the post soon.
The other day I was on a workover with a new missionary in Kings Lynn. We taught a LA in the morning and he basically said that he could not come to church. He could not give us a reason why and then we related to him the story of brother Moyle from the Doctrine and Covenants dvds. He sacrificed everything to go to Zion from England, and to cut the story short, his leg got cut off while called to be a stonecutter at the Salt Lake temple. Although he had no leg, he fulfilled his call to serve by walking 22 miles everyday until he passed away. This less active brought up all of these excuses like, he has to walk about a mile or two to church, or his back hurt, and even, "the weather is terrible." We then brought up the sacrifices of brother Moyle like, he walked 22 miles to the temple, he had one leg, and "it snows in Utah!" It was so funny, because he was stumped everytime. I found out that this less active came to church the next Sunday.
Love,
Elder Resolme

Dear Family,

We just finished playing football with a bunch of students at the university. By small and simple things, small and simple things..... If there were a highlight reel on UEA football, I totally would have a couple of good segments. The next time we play will be next Monday, and hopefully we will be able to get them to church and institute. We will be having some baptisms over the next two weeks, so I will keep you posted. We just recently had a leadership meeting and one thing that President emphasised once again was the definition of the best leaders. The best leader: 1. Knows the most 2.Practices what he/she preaches 3.shares knowledge with everyone I know that the leaders we have in the church are called of God. The leaders I have in the England London Mission are the best.

Love,
Elder Resolme

It was supposed to snow on Friday, but it did not?!? Our weather man, aka our hairdresser, was wrong!

Dear Family,

I am still currently working on the numbers for the zone. All of these spreadsheets are so time consuming. Life is busy and fun. This past week, I had a workover in Yarmouth with Elder Bensige(Sweden) and we had a step-in lesson on the beach with three young adults. I ran my fingers through the sand and caught an image of San Diego. MMhhmmm. Bliss.

Love, Elder Resolme
