Another week
Thames River. We walk this way everyday to and from work. Most the time there are rowing teams of 2,3 or 4 men and women racing in the water
Hello Family,
Another week has gone by and the adventures just continue. We decided to make brownines, well I am not so good with the oven yet and sure enough it didn't work this time either. They were crispy black on the outside and runny brownie batter on the inside. The ovens are really werid. So needless to say I'll be using the cook top for a while. Things have been about the same, we are busy at work and they did find another couple to come over and help us. They are suppose to be coming in November.. We are on box 253 and we have to 8200. So we need all the help we can get. Last weekend we went to the Chelsea Soccer Stadium. It is massive. They are one of the premire teams in the world. We hope to be able to go to a game, but we will have to save up for awhile. We told Logan and he was estatic. He kenw all the players, their positions and everything. We also went to a castle from t he era of Henry the eighth. It was a cold rainy day so it was hard to enjoy it. I am really glad t hat I wasn't born in the days of old. We are getting better at the bus thing. We went to ASDA it is the english version of Walmart and last time it took us 2 hours to get there, this time we cut it down to one hour. So we are feeling pretty good about it. We end up in the bus garage many times and then they tell us we have to get off. But we don't want to because we don't know where we are. We always hope we are on the right bus, but more often than not we are not. I'm not sure what we are going to do this weekend. The other couple that is here want to go exploring somewhere, so maybe we'll do that. They are nice people and live in Morgan. They have a car so maybe it'll be fun riding around with them for a change. I sure hope that everyone is doing good. It is so nice to have this e-mail to keep in touch with everyone. I even get to sneak a phone call in once in a while. Thank you for all of your support. Natalie I am excited for you. I too hope it's a girl then with Heather' s little girl you can have all kinds of good times together. If not a little boy soccer player is cute too. We miss you all. Take care.
Love Cynda

Hello from England
hello everyone,
it's sunday afternoon here in East Sheen England. We arrived safely and have had almost a full week here now. thought I would send everyone a letter letting you know what is happening. We are living in an apartment while the family vacations in the US. But we have found ourselves a little flat up the street and will be moving there next weekend. we will be glad to stop living out of a suitcase and settle in for a while. the weather has been very hot. dan told me how cold it would be so i only brought sweaters, but i am sure i will be needing them soon. the archives where we do the filming is a 30 minute walk each way. we arrive there at 7:30 am and work for 8 hours. it is rather boring and tedious but it is the lords work and it needs to be done. so we are trying to be happy about it. the people here have been so helpful as we have gotten lost on the bus routes several times. The ward has been great, the bishop stopped by to visit and stayed for 4 hours. I don't know if he was hoping for dinner, but I certainly didn't have anything to offer him. He is an African American from Ghana and a very nice man. We were picked up today by some members around the corner and they drove us for about 1/2 hour to church. We enjoyed church and were even asked to speak. The ward had a munch and mingle after where we enjoyed a potluck lunch before driving home. It has been a really interesting experience here. this week has been crazy trying to get settled and such. we took a train to London last night where we tried the subway and the busing systems. We visited the Hyde Park Chapel famous for all of the church leaders who served in England in the early period of the church. We were also able to go to the temple when we arrived here and as you all know my heart is very dear to the temple. It was a great experience. Dan and I and one other sister was the only ones in the session. So we walk alot and eat very little, but we are learning the ways of the British and maybe in 17 months we will have it figured out. We sure do miss everyone though and even though it's great to serve and see other parts of the world, there is nothing like home. I would love to hear from any of you. We don't have a address yet, but our phone number is 011447531386377. . Remember we are 7 hours a head of you. the network works sometimes and sometimes it doesn't but if you call it will let us know and we will figure out how to call you back. I pray that all is going well, we pray for you and love you all dearly. thank you for all your love and support. we really are trying to do the best and be the best that we can. Oh and the most fabulous part about England is the FLOWERS in the flowers shops are amazing. I love when we walk by the flowers stands Keep in touch Always.
