Hello! This week was really good. I don't have a lot of time to write. We had 3 investigators come to our Gospel Principles class yesterday, and they all seemed to enjoy it, so that's good. We have good plans for this week and hopefully it will be good. We went to Beachy Head this morning for P-day and it was awesome, and that's what all those pictures are about. I'm doing very well, but this week's email will have to consist mostly of pictures. Ok, love all of you. Bye!

5th transfer cycle in Eastbourne

[Note from Lou: I am finally caught up with the posts. Sorry for the delay; I've had trouble getting things to load.]

Hello! It is actually transfer day, not the kind of 'middle of transfer' transfers I've been having! And Elder Tomlinson and myself are both staying in Eastbourne for another 6 weeks. I am really happy to be staying, since we have a lot of things that seem right on the edge of happening! It's just that everyone here likes to put things off until "next week". It's really funny, because that's exactly how I am! It's interesting, the more you're surrounded by things that are faults of yourself, the more it makes you want to change it! :D So I guess it's a blessing in disguise of sorts. Anyway, I am enjoying it here, and like I said, the missionary work is going good. It's hard to talk about specific people because they all seem to come and go like the breeze. But the guy I mentioned last week is still really cool, and he needs some time to study everything out for himself. He said he might be coming to church, but that he needs time to get things sorted. So we'll see him in a month, right before I go, probably. (I don't want to say I'm leaving for sure in 6 weeks, because you can never be sure...)

 

Thanks everyone for everything! Try to email me before Monday, if anyone wants to email me. Alright, here's to a good week for all! Bye!

Hello, it's been a rainy few days.

(sorry everyone--the pictures still won't post which is why I didn't post this earlier)

Hello! It's been a good week here! We met a lot of really nice and cool and interested people. This week we had a really cool guy come to church who we had invited, and in Gospel Principles class he said that he has gotten a lot of motivation from the meetings so far and that that night he was going to try and say his first prayer with his two year old son when he puts him to bed. It was really cool, and he's such a genuine guy. He could feel the Spirit of church and gain the motivation he needed from it, which is awesome since he doesn't have much religious experience at all. So we'll be seeing him again this week and on Sunday. So that was probably the best experience of this week, seeing church fit someone's needs perfectly!

Anyway, Elder Tomlinson and I get along well, so that's great!

Ahhh, this library does NOT give enough time on these computers! So I don't have time to say/type anything else. But thanks for everything, everyone! This week will be awesome!

Hello June!

(Note from Lou Ella: Oh my heart! I forgot to post this one! So sorry.)

Hello Everyone! I don't have much time this week because the Library computers are being messed up! So that's kind of a pain, but I guess oh well. :/ And it happens of course on the week when I actually have lots to talk about!

I have a new companion named Elder Tomlinson, as Elder Aveiro is flying to America as I type this. He enters the Provo MTC on Tuesday, so that'll be an experience for him. :) Elder Tomlinson is from West Jordan, and he's been out for one transfer less than I have.

This last week has been amazing! I feel more spiritually alive, and great things have been happening. I'll only say one because that's all I have time for! :O Yesterday, a few hours before Elder Aveiro was going to be picked up, we went knocking. We picked a road on the map and went to it. The first door we knocked, 4 teenagers open the door and we introduce ourselves and then the mom of the teenager who lives there said "Let the Elders come in." We were a bit shocked, because she sounded like she knew us. Turns out that she met with the missionaries in the 70's when she was 15 because she was a big Osmond fan. She had pictures at hand and everything, it was so cool! Her 18 year old daughter said that she had been thinking about God recently because she was having a discussion about religion with her Psychology teacher a few days ago. She said she loves talking about religion! She's just finishing final exams here, so they won't have time for another 2 weeks. But they said to please come by then and to come as often as we like. :D So hey, cool things are happening here! We met so many other cool people too, but I don't have time to write about them. But this week will be just as good or even better, so I'll have stuff to write about then.

I love all of you! Thanks! Bye!
