To get the full effect, read this in the following accent:

60% light austrailian
20% american
15% british
5% scottish

So currently, I'm at the MTC still, in Preston England, training to become a missionary. Next Wed, I'll get to finally actually go out to the field, to Scotland and Ireland.
So my companion, the other guy my age who's paired up with me, is Elder Costigan, an australian, who is awesome. He's hilarious, and love to joke around, but has a strong testimony of the truth of the gospel, and is a fantastic teacher.
These days here at the MTC feel so long, like five days of information crammed into one day. So I've been here now... 30 days? So about a month. I was initially disappointed I wouldn't get to learn a foreign language, but now I'm sort of glad... I can't imagine staying in here for twelve weeks. I would go insane.

England is awesome, and has great weather. We were lucky enough to already have two cloudless days, so I got some nice pictures I'll attach.
I've learned a lot about teaching people. It's odd that I can't use my normal argumentitive style, since people need to believe it themselves, rather than having me convince them. So it'll be quite a different experience.
I loved all your letters you sent me, but my time right now is severely limited. But thank you all so much! I loved hearing from you!

Also, if you'd rather follow my blog, that's fine by me. Just send a message with <BLOG> in the subject line, and you can instead follow my blog WilliamBlackMission.blogspot.com
 
Until next week!
 Elder William Kevin Black

PS: I was considering calling this post "Holy Timechange Batman", but didn't for obvious reasons.
