Dear Family,
Over, the past week, I have felt like I was back in my old area with my old responsibilities. I had 3 work overs this week, two of which were with missionaries I served around maybe a year ago. It is wonderful to see the growth that they have obtained during the time of our separation.
Once again the weather has been dreadful, but I am enjoying every second of it, minus the wind factor. I still very much so enjoy finding and speaking to people in the town center. I wonder what I will do when I get back home to compensate for finding.
The ward is great, many members of which are completely focused on missionary work. I pray that we will be able to get this area up and running before I have to leave.
This morning I read the Our Heritage, a book part of the missionary library, about Zions camp. Joseph Smith had called many to volunteer for a little army to go into battle, where in the end, they did not. This journey was full of trials and events that led many down to their graves, but all in all, the purpose of the departure was to pretty much separate the wheat from the tares and determine who was ready for the call to become leaders in the church. I will always remember the importance of overcoming difficult times for the future welfare of myself, but most importantly, my family.
Love,
Elder Resolme

Dear Family,
I am living the dream. I absolutely love finding people in the town
centre. I feel that this is one of the biggest things that has kept me
sane on my mission. Although sometimes it is difficult to speak to
people, I find a joy within myself when I can testify of the divinity
of the Son.
Over the past week, we have had two zone meetings. One of which was
for the introduction of the new mission President/Wife, the Jordans.
The majority of the meeting was for him to get to know us as well as a
question and answer for the new leadership of the mission. I asked a
question and President Jordan and his wife gave me direct answers that
left everyone in awe. I thought it was so exciting! They gave me
promises for my future and put a heavy emphasis on the journey to
God's Holy House. How relevant for me, eh?
We are also finding some great new investigators. I am so thankful for
the abilities and talents that I have acquired on my mission, what a
blessing for my family in the future.

Other things that happened over the past week.
Got defecated on by a pigeon. Workover today with Elder Rogers from
Mesa, AZ. Once again barely slept over the weekend because of the
popular pub near our flat. Lovely members who sacrifice their time and
means for the benefit of the missionaries.
I will never forget the great things members do for us. I will never
forget. I promise, if I were the richest man ever, I would fly
everyone out to San Diego to hang out.

Dear Family,
Alex Boye! That is completely reem bruv.
I feel I am doing great. I have yet to slow my pace in regards to
missionary work. I know that the work I perform now will determine my
attitude and actions for the future. I cannot afford to slack and
relax.
My last area was little Scotland and the one I am in now is little
Portugal. It is exactly like the filipino branch, but in Portuguese.
The ward welcomed the both of us with excitement and like wise are we
pumped to work this area to its limit.
The first couple of days my companion and I were trying to get the
flat sorted and figured out because we had furniture, but nothing
else. So we looked for a bunch of things as we looked for people to
teach.
I am also in the same stake as I was in during my sixth transfer so I
was able to see a member from my old ward in the Sakte Presidency, and
I was completely overcome with joy. I am so grateful to be here
because this zone has a bunch of missionaries that I worked with
months ago, but now instead of looking for their needs and concerns,
they are now going to have to look for mine. Complete switches.
I have thought about going on a health diet for my last couple months,
but I do not think it will happen. Maybe I will be massive when I get
back home.
Please send everyone my regards.
