July!

Hi, this week was good. Wow, I just reflected back on the email I sent a year ago at this time, and it's so weird to think that was a whole YEAR ago, especially since I remember the happenings of that week like it was almost yesterday. Anyway, I'm doing very well right now, I'm extremely excited for this next week, and the next few weeks until tranfers because they are going to be so eventful, especially since I'm thinking they might be the last weeks I'll have in Eastbourne. So I'm motivated to make these weeks awesome. And we're off to a good start with our plans. We have an appointment with a mum and her 6(or 7?) children on Tuesday and I'm excited because I can see that the Restoration message can actually help them with the questions and concerns they have about religion and the state that a lot of it is in today. The mum, Zoe, said she was going to study over the Book of Mormon over the next few days until we meet with them, and they seemed really excited. Also, we met an older man named Wally who is a miracle. He said that he has had many surgeries and things and that now he doesn't have a lot of his stomach or intestines and other organs that I thought were vital. He said all the doctors are amazed at his state of health. He has such a strong faith that God is helping him and protecting him, and he was open to listen to our message so we set an appointment on Wednesday. So things are looking up again, it's just once again down to dealing with any obstacles or adversity that comes along the way.

Hmm, well that's about it. I am very happy now, I feel like I learn something or grow somehow every day and every week, even if it is just sort a 'dead' day. The days when nothing happens are the days when you come up with the best ideas about what to do on later days. Or something, I'm just trying to give myself a pep talk. :D I love you guys, and I hope everyone is well and that all of us can be in a state of mind that we're more aware of everything around us, because that's how we are more able to help. (Haha, I like when what I say sounds wise. :D) Alright, talk to you next week. Bye!
