Elder Boothe on the Coast of Eastbourne

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!
