May 29 & June 5, 2017: Bradford and Training

Hey family  (June 5),
Sorry I have no time to write today we are on extended pday as well we
have just had a crazy day! Yeah so you guys found out I'm training now
it's crazy! It's really weird having a new missionary! He is really
innocent good guy likes to work hard so I'm exited for it! His name is
Elder Stanley he is from Eugene Oregon! He is 19 as well but he went
to a year of school first! He literally try's to copy everything I do!
It's quite funny! He also ask me permission for everything! Like he
asks permission to use the toilet! I love him though! I'm not gonna
lie being a trainer is a daunting experience! I didn't expect
president to call me to train! There was only two elders coming into
the mission so I though president would of just had someone a lot more
experienced do it! But it's been great experience I have really felt
the lords love during this time! I pray a lot that he may help me! As
far as safety goes, you don't need to worry! Bradford is like all
Muslim! Like I don't think you understand it's like I'm serving in
Pakistan right now! Like for everybody is Muslim or Iranian! Like out
of 10 people 7 of them are Iranian here! We eat Pakistanian food like
I kid you not! So with that being said they
wouldn't try anything here in Bradford because they would harm to many
Muslims! Like I'm probably in the safest part of England right now!
Trust me and with that being said I'm still being very cautious! Well
I love you guys so much! I wish I could only express to you how much
you all mean to me! I love you family have a great week!


Dear family:  (May 29)
I love you guys hope this week went well! England is crazy right now
and I'm right in the thick of it! There are a lot of things going on
between the Muslims and the white people right now! It's crazy Leeds
and Bradford have some big threats going on right now!  We were
walking through this community and people were yelling Muhammad at us
it was crazy! We have gunners on like every street corner! We don't
proselyte in town anymore or go to places where there are a lot of
people! It's crazy though because being in Bradford it's like the
whole city! For some reason through all of
it, I've felt completely safe! We went into this food place, there
were about 30 people in the store and we were the only non Muslim people!
These people started yelling at us and then the other people protected
us and threw them ouT! It was funny this guy was yelling at me and
elder Livingston telling us we don't follow God and he told us to
prove it by showing him that we were circumcised! He was yelling in
the store pull down your pants show me your dick right now! In his
Iranion accent ...it was so funny! I have got so many crazy stories for
you guys when I get home! Just know I'm safe and you have nothing to
worry about! Love you guys

My three roomates, two are zone leaders that live with us, and Elder Livingston is my companion on the right of me.  He is the future quaterback for BYU!
