Sometimes it's hard to get Harry to answer all the questions I have so I've started using numbers and it kind of keeps him on task:
So
1. tell me about your new companion
2. What are you gonna do with 9 new ties
3. Did anyone record a Christmas performance
4. Who are you teaching?
1. Elder Moraza!!! He's great, and from Spain! Kinda close to where Elder Gonzalez was from, kinda not really, but he's from the South. So everything has a th-th-th where the s's go. does that make sense? Maybe ask dad. He's fun, he's never served in London, he loves musicals, he's composing one right now apparently, and he likes to eat out. yeah! He also studied International Trade back home. Cool guy. 2. Wear them and look posh. 3. Yes! Go on soundcloud and look up England London Mission!! We sound like a choir of angels.
Go to:soundcloud.com/england-london-mission -Listen to Hallelujah 2.0 Harry is the second voice.
4. We're teaching a couple cool people from the Philippines! One is the daughter of a less active lady, the daughter's name is Theresa, she's 19 and pretty cool! She's in 2 Nephi chapter 8! Hardcore. also, a member referred a whole Filipino family to us whom we are now teaching. It's pretty great and they're really nice :) I'm so happy! This transfer is gonna be an awesome one. Who knows, it might be my last transfer as a zone leader, president likes to release leadership two transfers before they go home... Who knows what will happen! But I love you guys all so much!!! And i'm glad you had a good Christmas, next Christmas, I'll be home :) I love you, Happy new year!!! :D

Christmas from 12/25/13
Hey!! Oh my goodness, it was so good to see you yesterday :DD I love you guys so much!! ;D my goodness, everyone has gotten so much bigger and looks so different!! It's so cool :) well hey, this is gonna be a very quick email today, but i wanted to re-express my love for you ;) and! We got moves calls this morning, and I'm staying put! Elder Titus is taking a trip down to the bottom of the mission by the cliffs of Dover, and a somewhat new Zone Leader named Elder Moraza from Spain will be coming here with me!! It should be very exciting, and. I'm so tired. my brain is like not functioning right now. we went Boxing day shopping for real. and I got some good stuff! Got a coat, and some socks, and two jumpers. :) and there's this tie shop called Tie Rack which is really fancy, but it's going out of business all over England, so they're having a 70% or more off sale!!!!! I got 9 ties for the price of one. I'm stoked ;p so i'm very sleepy as I've been running around like crazy in Black Friday equivalent people traffic all over London. I love you :) so much! <33 i'll email again on Monday :) see you soon guys!

Funeral for Sister Steel
We've seen pictures of her since they were in the MTC. And now she's going home to Colorado.
When missionaries get into the mission, we call it being born. Their trainer is their parent, and the senior missionary of opposite gender in the district is the other parent. Then, when you go home, it's called dying. so usually at the last meeting we'll hold a funeral for them, as we did with sister steele! It was a time to be remembered.

Just Pictures
A funny accidental picture taken from my desk.
you can't see it very well but the sign in the back says elders!!!! We had to take a picture.
I made dinner for my favorite chinese missionary, Elder Tam!!
pyi (pronounced like the letter "p") our recent convert fed us a Burmese feast.
From Elder Nolan
When your kid is on their mission, you hope they're being a good example as a representative of the Church and a disciple of Christ. You also hope that the people who associate with him, like him.
This is the email that Kelly got this week. Its from a missionary who's been out only 5 weeks.
hey, so I have a good missionary friend next to me named Elder Nolan, I said that I didn't have a story to tell about this week so he volunteered to write for me!
This guy, your brother, my friend, my zone leader, my inspiration. You should know that Elder Larsen inspires missionaries to do work on the daily. This man studies the scriptures whilst he exercises in the park whilst finding people to teach. He has the most wonderful face ive ever seen and If I had the ability I would right a comic book about his missionary efforts. He'd have a cape though. Either a green or peach coloured cape. With tassels. And glitter. We sing songs together which makes my soul smile. You have a great brother, and he'll be even better when he gets back. Hugs and handshakes, Elder Nolan =D
