Hey folks!
The weather here has been really nice apart from this morning, but
it's supposed to warm up in the afternoon and the sun is supposed to
show.
Hastings is really nice. I'm living in the Bexhill area right on
the coast of the English Channel. We sometimes go jogging on the beach
for morning exercise. I think we were planning on having a BBQ on the
beach eventually with the district on a p-day where the weather is
nice. Don't worry I'm not treating this as a holiday; in fact we've
been really busy. We've been doing a lot of service this week. But the
area is lovely. I'll send some pictures next week as none of them are
on my iPad. The ward is pretty small but everyone is really nice. We
have an investigator named Jacob who's really cool. He's been taught
everything but he just isn't very confident about his testimony and
doesn't feel ready for baptism. Elder Westra is a really nice guy.
He's 26 years old and he's been out for just over a year. He's from
Holland. His English is very good. We get along really well.
The 22nd is the date that I get on the plain. I haven't received
the letter with my travel plans yet but I'll give you the information
as soon as I have it.
Elder Westra and I have had some really good teaches together.
Especially the one with Jacob. He just needs to recognize the spirit.
We often make plans for a lesson and then completely change what we
teach because we both have a strong feeling that they need something
else. It's always important to follow the spirit to teach to their
needs.
The Elder Holland conference was really good. He talked a lot about
how his mission really meant a lot to him. He also reminded us how
important it is to teach with power and authority and that obedience
helps us to have the spirit as a companion as we teach. We all got to
shake his hand as well.
I hope you all have a lovely week and enjoy the weather. Talk to you
next week! I'll take a picture out of the café right now to send you.
