So here is the short version of the story. . . .
Tuesday, we get a phonecall at 4:30 PM from President Shamo. He tells Elder Evans that his life is about to get shaken up, and then tells him he's moving to Guernsey (one of the Channel islands). And he says to pack because he's moving the next morning! And then President Shamo tells me that I'm getting a companion straight from the Preston MTC who is supposed to be going to Portland Oregon but his visa just hasn't come through yet, and that's why things were changing around right in the middle of transfers. So I'm now with Elder Harris from Leicester, and we just spent Wednesday and Thursday at the temple. We're now back in Eastbourne and Elder Evans is in Guernsey.
So yes, I'm training a new missionary and the short time we've had to work together has been excellent! So I'm extrememly excited, and isn't it interesting that something completely crazy exciting happened after last weeks email which was so boring? :D I think so!

I don't have a lot of time left, today is kind of a weird P-day. We're emailing from Brighton at a really terrible internet cafe. They swindled us out of our money, but oh well. That happens every once in a while. But yes, everythings going great! Elder Harris and I get along well, and more importantly we work together pretty well for only knowing each other a few days.
