Weird stuff. Anyways, let's get into the week a bit. I apologise if this is a bit incoherent but I am moving with lightning speed today because we are trying to get down to portsmouth for some volleyball with the district asap. So the highlight of this past week was definitely zone conference. We got to go up to London again and each time I go my desire to explore there grows and grows. Hopefully that desire will be satiated one day :-) moving on, we had to go across the solent to stay the n...
The title of this email is in response to Elder Rosenvall who expressed his disappointment my sparse emails recently. Also, I felt like you all deserved a more thought out email considering my recent ones have been a bit lacking.

We are needed in london tonight because, drumroll please...ELDER BREWSTER IS GOING TO LONDON! I am so excited for him. He will be serving where the Westminster abbey, buckingham palace and big ben are so I am only a little bit jealous. I am sad to see him go. In homage to him, here is a poem: the power of friendship though underrated is truly built on the foundation of people like warren brewster okay sappy stuff aside, I know you are all dying to...
