Elder Boothe on the Coast of Eastbourne

I've been in Eastbourne for nearly 5 weeks already?!

Pictures aren't working this week because we're at a new shop and it doesn't work for some reason. :( Sorry.

Wow, time is flying! I can't believe I've been here for almost 5 weeks. It's the last time I'll email before transfer day, so next email will be in the middle of next week sometime, either Wednesday or Thursday. This last week was good. We had a Zone Conference on Wednesday, and that was really helpful. On Thursday we went to a town about 20 minutes away on a bus (and 45 on a train. We took the train because we didn't know about the bus. :( ) that neither of us had been to before so we thought we'd try it out. It was kind of a small town, and the people there were kind of in a little bubble. It was weird, no one wanted to talk to us. But we did have one ray of sunlight. We found a fish and chips place that sold the best fish and chips that I have ever before tasted, and we managed to get the Pensioner's deal so it was quite cheap. They said it was a one time only deal, haha. But oh well.

The rest of the week was good too. One guy gave each of us a huge fruit basket of quality fruit, so that was nice. Getting a fruit basket makes you feel good, somehow. And on Sunday night as we were knocking, we found two people in a row that were willing to read the Book of Mormon! It was so nice to meet some people who are actually open to try something.
So I think the events of this last week have all added up to something, and we feel that something has changed. Something really good! So this week will be good, and we'll also find out if we're both staying or if one of us is moving next week.

I love all of you, happy Valentine's day! :P Bye!
