Elder Boothe on the Coast of Eastbourne

Happy April!

Hello there! This week has been good, but sadly I have misplaced my camera so there will be no pictures until I find it. I think I left it at the chapel in Crawley or in the Zone Leader's car. But anyways, this last week we've had good things happen. We've found lots of cool people who we're about to start teaching. We've also had one guy give the Book of Mormon back just because he couldn't be bothered to think about it. Fair enough. :) But all in all it's been a pleasant week. I really enjoyed General Conference. The priesthood session was great, I loved the last 3 talks especially.

As far as moves goes, we're both staying here, which was to be expected since Elder Harris and I basically had moves 3 weeks ago. I'm glad we're both staying, because the last few weeks have been good! We're getting to know so many people, and just trying to share the gospel to everyone in a peaceful yet bold way. That's the tricky balance to achieve.

Hmm, there aren't too many stories to tell. We've just kind of met all sorts of people. It's just getting the second appointment to go through that's the problem, haha. The most exciting thing I can think of is that we met a gypsy.

Anyways, in my studies at the moment, I'm still reading through the Old Testament which is sometimes extremely hard to read and there's lots of little things in there that I've never heard of before. I've made it all the way to Judges (7th book in the Bible) and it has some weird things in it. I don't know if we really have all the information to really know why everything is happening the way it did then. But it is interesting and you can learn something from it every once in a while. :)

I'm also reading the Doctrine and Covenants all the way through and I just made it to Section 90. There are some really good things in there as well. I seem to recall enjoying Section 88 a lot, but I can't really remember because it's P-day and I'm just excited to relax. :D It's been a long time since the last P-day.

Well I love all of you! Thanks for the thoughts, prayers, letters, emails, gospel songs about making mistakes (haha), etc. Make a new friend this week! That's the challenge for all of us! If anyone actually does it (which they should!), let me know. :D Okay, bye!!
