"This week has been really great. I tried to tell you more about the Settles. I have a very special place in my heart for them. I don't know why. Maybe because Bro. Settle reminds me so much of Dad. He plays the French Horn in the local orchestra and just his mannerisms, I guess. It's wonderful. He has recently been living the word of wisdom which has been a bit of a struggle socially (all the brass section goes to the pub after performances) but he's progressing famously.

Milton Keynes is beautiful in the Fall. Everything is all oranges and yellows and reds. It's lovely. the weather reminds me so much of Utah in the Fall. Crisp in the morning and brisk in the evening. The Lawrences say that I am losing my American accent and I can almost believe it when yesterday our battery died and I asked Sis. M to pull the leever to pop the bonnet. We laughed for a while about that one. I still can't believe I'm here. It's such a miracle. I love you all very much. I am so blessed to have the family I do. "
