"three words elder, Jump. Ready. You?"

dear anyone who had the foresight to open this e-mail before attempting to
read it,
so i am now residing in the pleasant town of farnborough (pronounced
farn-burra) with my new Swedish companion Elder Linde`n (pronounced lindian
by those who can and linden by those who can't) so far I've been really
gratefull to be here in farborough and really grateful to be able to work
with elder linden (I'm one of those that can't :)  )  ranborough is a much
more residential area than staines and has a lot more houses as opposed to
the flats that make up the majority of my last area. so everyone is a
Little bit more spread out. it's a beautiful are with lots of trees and
pleasant hills and knolls (we have knolls in England. whaaaaaaaaaat)  so
lets talk a little bit about the people. we're currently teaching a twenty
three year old named lucy who is the daughter of a returning less active
named mkaylia. mkayla works as a translator of ancient records at the local
museum. basically she goes and digs up old papyrus scrolls and such and
translates them from latin and ancient egyptian into english. i told her
that i basically consider her to have the coollest job of anyone that i've
ever met. lucy has a lot of interest in religion and her mkayla is strong
in her testimony so we're very hopeful for her progression. we've spent a
lot of time this week working with the amazing people in this ward. a lot
of the members here have great previous experiance in sharing the gospel
with their friends and are eager to do more for the missionary work. this
ward is amazing and i'm very grateful that i have this opportunity to work
with them. i have a good feeling that a lot of great things are going to be
happening in this area very soon :)

well i don't have much time today but i'm grateful for the support all of
you have given me and i just gotta tell you how much i love this work. A
lot!

i'm happy. are you happy? good. stay that way :)

with love
Elder Jarman

ps. my companion has the lion kind soundtrack in swedish. it's basically
the coolest thing ever.

pps. i found a place wher i can buy and 8th wheel of brie for a pound!

ppps. no annie, spaghetti is still just as good if you leave the meercats
out it. remember that
