I have officially hit the year mark.

Picture 1- My Year-mark A&W that the Bishop gave to me. :D (They don't really have root beer over here.)

Hello! Well, this week was interesting! We had Stake conference on Sunday and President Monson spoke along with L. Tom Perry. It was a satellite broadcast to all of the UK, so that was pretty cool! They gave really good talks and I thought of things I could improve on. It really was an uplifting conference. Our zone went through the temple today for P-day which was good. So everything seems to be looking up now, and this week should be really good.

Speaking of this next week, Elder Aveiro is getting his visa delivered tomorrow so he should be flying out a few days after that! So, I'll be getting ANOTHER new companion! So everything will be changing this week, and hopefully we can find someone who is interested who lives in our area. We talked to one really cool Peruvian lady who we taught on the street and gave her a Book of Mormon which she happily accepted. When we were talking with her she said it was funny, because she was walking around praying because she's going through a hard time in life and then she met us. It just so happens that she was visiting Eastbourne for the week and was flying back home to America the next morning. She said she'd contact the missionaries there, so that would be awesome!

As for the area right now, there still isn't anyone that we're teaching because everyone seems so busy. So we just need to keep trying and keep trying harder! I feel like it's a new beginning of missionary work now that it's on the downhill slope. So I hope to make it the best year yet!

I love all of you, thanks for the help and support. Bye!

Not much computer time this week. Ahem...

It's been an interesting last few days. Right now I'm at the mission office because Elder Aveiro filled out his paperwork for his visa today, and tomorrow he's going to the Embassy to get it all sorted out! That means he'll be flying out in about a week or so, so that's interesting. That means I'll get another new companion sometime soon. Last night and tonight we'll be staying in a flat with 3 other missionaries who are at the office right now. So I have no idea what's going to happen with me! :D I'm just hanging out here today and tomorrow until we go back to Eastbourne so Elder Aveiro can pack his stuff and I can get a new companion. Haha, it's pretty funny and all over the place which makes it enjoyable. I don't have much else to say really. No one we're teaching is progressing. June is going to be a great month for missionary work though! Members have been asked to invite one person to church every week of June, so hopefully they take that to heart and do it.

Hmm, it's the year-mark on Friday, so that's exciting! Wow, lots of exciting things are happening all at the same time. Everything is going to return to normal soon I think, but I actually hope it doesn't. I hope it is just as exciting but maybe in a different way. Well, that's about it! I have no pictures this week. I love you all! Goodbye!

...In the merry month of May

Hello! Okay, this week wasn't as good as we planned it to be. But it was still pretty okay. Out of all those appointments we had set up, one went through. But the conference with Elder Kopische was good! I learned a lot from it. He didn't have an agenda or anything, he said that we would make the agenda. We did, and the whole thing seemed like it was just for me! So that was enjoyable. Also we went to the Greenfayre on Saturday, but when it was time for our presentation, no one came! Haha, so we didn't end up giving it. But we did enjoy talking to a few people and some free Yakisoba noodles! Sunday was good too, getting to talk to Mom for Mother's day. But it was kind of weird, since it isn't Mother's day here! So it sort of snuck up on me.

Today is Transfer day and I am once more staying in Eastbourne with Elder Aveiro! So I'll hit my official year-mark in a few weeks here, in only my second area. Strange. We've been having a good week so far, and we are really hoping we can make things happen. We're going to stop by a lot of people who used to investigate the church, but stopped for whatever reason. So hopefully they will be ready now to learn more. By the way, did I tell you I watched the Royal Wedding whenever that was? That was interesting.

That's all I have! I love everyone, thanks for the support. Talk to you again on Monday! Bye!

What a crazy week ahead this one will be!

Picture 1- Some weird meal that turned out okay. Sweet and sour sauce with rice, pineapple, and plantain.

This week was kind of a passive week, and it seems like it was more productive than the previous week, but less busy. So I think that's good. But this upcoming week is looking extremely fun. We have a few appointments set up in advance this week, and I'm just very excited about it.

And then, on Friday, we're having a Zone conference with Elder Kopischke of the Area Presidency. So I'm looking forward to learning from that. And THEN on Saturday, we're talking at a Greenfayre, which has to do with the Environment and families and ways we can strengthen them and things. We won't be talking about God a lot in it because it's not a religious thing at all, but I'm really hoping we can talk to people afterwards and see if they want to learn more. And THEN on Sunday, it's mother's day! So I get to make my second phone call on my mission to my parents. :) And then next week is transfer week, I think, so P-day won't be until Wednesday. That's what I've been told at least, but it might change before then.

Phew. That's what's going on with me this week! We've made plans that will be awesome if we can execute them properly. This is a bit of a short email, but I love all of you anyway.

Have a good week, talk to you on Wednesday or sooner! Bye!
