Elder Boothe on the Coast of Eastbourne

Surprise!

Elder Palmer and I have both been moved from Wandsworth because they're putting Sister missionaries there! :D It's really unexpected, but I'm excited. I'm going to Bournemouth, and Elder Palmer is going to Poole which is in the same District as Bournemouth. It's been an awesome 7 weeks here, and I'm sad that I can't end my mission here, but at the same time I'm glad there's something new and exciting to do for the next few months. I'm going with someone named Elder Beardall, who I've never met before so that'll be something new as well!

Bournemouth is down on the coast, but it's a lot more west than Eastbourne. Perfect timing though, getting to go to the coast at the start of the warm weather! I'm sad to leave London and all the people here, but I'll see most of them again I'm sure.

I want to send some pictures, but when I plugged my camera into this computer it looked like it started downloading something virus-like onto it, so I deleted it and unplugged ASAP. So maybe you'll get some pictures of Bournemouth next week.

That's about it!
Oh, my new address!

Elder Boothe
Flat 2, 7 Suffolk Road

So hopefully any post already on it's way to the Wandsworth flat will be forwarded quickly to me. :)
Bye!

A good blog email. Hopefully.

An awesome member made them for us for dinner.
Hi! This week we had a zone training meeting, which I think was really good. We've been going around the names of people on the ward list we don't know and seeing if they would like us to visit them or not. Most of the people have moved, so we're writing that down so that missionaries won't go do it again and annoy the people that live there. That's been good fun, and we've been meeting people that way. Also this week I got to have lunch with my trainer, Elder Muller! That was awesome, getting to catch up and talk about the good old days. He was just visiting London for the weekend, which is weird for me to think about, but then I remember that Europe is a lot closer together than I think. This week we did some FamilySearch indexing too! Haha, never something I would have wanted to do, but it was actually enjoyable.
 
Ok, I'll be frank. Writing blog emails at this point seems pretty dry, so maybe I'll just do a monthly update from now on (haha, so like 4 more updates. Oh well.) But I'll at least send pictures weekly. If you don't like that idea, then send in a complaint to me. :D Alright, till next week/month! ;) Bye!
