Ello!!
So this week was pretty cool! As you see from the pictures I sent you, we went to the beach last p-day. It was awesome! It was cloudy, but still warm. We played football and had a BBQ on the beach! It was sweet! I stood on a big rock and got splashed...haha the water was freezing. It was a fun day!
Throughout the week we had a couple exchanges. I was with Elder Sima one day (the black kid), and Elder Bailey. Elder Sima is from Botswana, and Bailey is from Northern England. It was pretty fun being with them. Elder Sima is my favorite, he is so funny! He is exactly like Chancy. We had a good exchange that day...The kid can hand out copies of the Book of Mormon like it's nobody's business...He's crazy! I learned a lot from him. Elder Bailey has only been out for 2 weeks, so I had the opportunity to kind of train a kid for a day, haha it was a lot of fun! We had a lot of laughs. We filmed ourselves singing "I'll make a man out of you," while we were driving, and it was hilarious. Our investigator John came to church yesterday and it was great! I taught a class about Prophets and John really liked it, so that's good. The 3 hours we were at church, John smoked 4 times, and he was only supposed to smoke 6 total yesterday, so I kind of feel like he has been lying to us about following the calendar we gave him. Hopefully he is not lying...I was kind of upset yesterday about that, but I have faith.
We were proselyting on the beach, which I thought was cool! I don't remember if I told you guys this, but I found a full size basketball court outside on the beach! I was like ummm yes....My prayers have been answered, especially the fact that there was a group of guys playing! I felt the spirit of course, so I had to go talk to these guys, and so I did. I went up to them and said,"Hey guys, we're missionaries," etc., and I told them that I'm American and I've been dying to play basketball. They asked me if i was good and I said I'm alright, so they said "Alright mate! Come by on Wednesday and we'll see how good you are" Hahahah HECK YES!!! So I pretty much set up a fun fun fun appointment by playing ball with these guys! I said "Lets make a deal, if I beat you guys on wednesday, you have to listen to what my companion and I have to say about this wonderful book called The Book of Mormon," and they smiled and said alright. They were kinda cocky, but i was watching them play and they were not good at all, haha :) So I'm pumped to teach these guys on Wednesday! I gave them a pass along card and peaced out! Yess!!! I know the Lord will help me that day droppin triples! Haha I haven't played since I left home, so we'll see how it goes.
A few days ago we were studying one morning and the Bishop called and asked us to run to a members house asap and give this little old lady a blessing because she was not feeling well. So we jumped right up and went over and the lady looked and acted perfectly fine...She was the happiest I've ever seen her so i was a little confused. We talked to her for a while and asked how she was and she was smiling saying she was just fine, but a little ill. Later on we gave her a blessing. I did the annointing and Romer gave her the blessing. It was really cool, but a little confusing.
Anyways.. I'm loving England! I'm starting to warm up with the people down here! I learn so much everyday. I love all of you so much and I hope everything is going well! Cheers! :)
P.s. A lot of people down here think I look like Cusco off of Empirer's New Groove, and they also think I look like Tom Cruise.....
