Letter from 10.20.08

Hey there family-

Well lets see where to start... I am in the city where Gorton's Fisherman Fish company started, and the oldest port in the us. Gloucester is big, but a lot of the people here don't really speak English, so we go to the out laying cities like Ipswich, Essex and some others. We live in the downstairs apartment, so we get to hear all of our neighbors walk around and watch TV. One really likes watching NCIS.

It has dropped like 15 degrees since I got here. My body did not like that at all. It would be fine temperature wise, but the darn wind blows and makes it so much more colder then it has to be, but what can you do.

The ward here is really sweet. We share it with elders. The only thing that stinks is that the ward members are up in the Georgetown area (by the elders) and we are down by the sea where there is not, but two members in the city of Gloucester. I guess we are doing our best to build the ward up around here, it is just been a little tough.

Yesterday in Sunday school the teacher talked about a movie that I guess had just come out about the Highland High rugby team called "Forever Strong". I thought that you could check it out, Dad since you graced the halls of old Highland High.

We are working here as hard as we can. The teaching pool will build back up we just need to work a bit harder. It is awesome that everything is going good. and that the house is in piece again.

I have been studying Doctrine and Covenants 4 this past week. It is amazing what you can find in that small section. If you look up the definitions of heart, might, mind and strength and then think about what the Lord expects of you... It is a lot. There is a verse in 2 Tim 6:19 that talks about the foundation that we need to build, one unto salvation. It's a cool one, look it up.

Well I have to go.

Love you all and hope that everything is going well,

Sister Foy
