Hey, everyone. Yes, moves were last week, didn't find out until AFTER e-mailing, dangit, so I couldn't tell you guys until today, but I moved! I miss newbury!!! I love the members so much, definitely going to visit them again. Somehow. Maybe.
My camera won't work on this computer!! Dangit!!! I'll have to find some way to send you guys photos, I have loads of them. Sigh.
Anyways, yes, well my last days in newbury were tough. Elder O'keeffe got as a new companion, Elder Hilton, who actalyl served in Newbury before!!! Weird. Anyways, I thought it was a good move by President Millar, because Elder O'Keeffe needed help in taking over the area.
And I am now with.. Elder Remon!! From Spain. He's awesome. And young. Only 6 months out. I'm so old compared to him! haha! But we work hard, and we get work done.
Speaking of the work, this area stinks! just kidding its awesome. But it is almost desolate completely from a teaching pool. Our only hope is this girl Mel, from Spain, whose getting baptized on the 19th of April. She's way cool. But Elder Remon and her speak spanish because she isn't very good at speaking english. I'm trying to learn spanish as well, ahha, I agreed to help Elder Remon learn English if he helps me learn spanish :) Anyways yeah, she's great, came to church as well, and has fellowshippers and everything.
Its a 4-man area!! Or shoudl I say, 2 man and 2 woman. Yeah, there's sisters in our ward! Sister Green and Sister Dunlop. Both from Australia, both awesome. They are on fire. Sister Green reminds me exactly (And I mean exactly) of Catelyn. its just weird.
What else... Well aldershot is an ex-military town or something, you couldn't tell by looking at it though really. But there are loads of really old Nepalese people walking around, haha, because apparently the UK hired Nepalese soldiers "Ghurkas" to fight for them at some point a while ago, and they were like super beast, so now they just chill in the UK, retired. Kind of funny though because none of them speak english. Its almost pointless to try and proselye among them (though we still try.) We just say "Namaste" which means "how are you" and they do "namaste" back, haha, and that's about all we know.
Well, sorry for the lack of mass e-mails recently. I don't know what else has been going on. We're just stuck knocking or finding most of the days here, but I don't really mind as much as I used to, because Elder Remon is a cool kid, we laugh about everything. I always butcher my spanish and hejust laughs.
well, thank you everyone for the e-mails. love you all. Until next week!
-Elder Blumenthal
