Happy New Years!

Hello family!

I know that it has been ages since we last talked, but I wanted to let you know what happened with exchanges. The family all guessed that I would be staying in Manchester South. It appears that dad's phone call to the president didn't work though, either that or he forgot to call, because I am now serving in Whitefield. Yes, I am on to my third area. It appears I may know and see a lot of the Manchester area by the end of my mission at the rate I am going.

I am serving with Sister Low. She is from Murray, Utah. Sister Low was studying exercise science at BYU before coming on a mission and has two siblings. I know a few others things, but not too much at the moment since we have only been together for a few hours. I will be sure to report more later, but if I forget do give me a reminder.

I hope everyone enjoys the new year. Happy 2012! I am excited to have another year of growth, learning and exposure to a new culture. I continue to learn each day and am having a fantastic time. There is such a special joy that comes from serving a mission. Not to mention the weather has been surprisingly good. I don't have a ton of time today, but I will be sure to write and give you some more updates next week. I am not 100% sure if I will email on Monday or not since the libraries are closed, so if you don't hear from me on Monday expect an email a bit later in the week.

Love always, Becca
