We helped someone move apartments. She's a former investigator who is---I hope I don't sound mean for saying it---a mooch. She's always asking for money. And food. We've been to her place; she has lots of food. Anyways, her old place was just the epitome of nasty, and we and the new ward mission leader spent the better part of the afternoon cleaning it up. I was in charge of the kitchen, so....lucky me. I said a prayer of thanks afterwards for my strong constitution. Anyways, she is moved into a new place now in a better and safer neighborhood. We are hoping that this can be a good new start for her. We each took vigorous showers following the ordeal.
We've also been taking buses to a neighboring town in our area called Newtownards. There's a lot of inactive members there we're trying to find. I also bought a new piece of luggage in a charity shop to replace my broken luggage. £6.50. Not bad; hopefully it'll last me for a little bit.
Elder Baklan has been teaching someone over skype. The investigator is in Limerick zone, in the south of Ireland, but he only speaks Russian, so it's up to Elder Baklan to teach and translate and such. And I just stand by. It's basically just some extra study-time.
Holy cow. Everything is just gonna be so different when I get home, huh? It's not even been a year yet, and there's already some pretty big changes happening. I have been remembering my family in my prayers.
Okay, so below are pictures of us and a few other teams having lunch in Belfast at the student union building, and good times at the train station in Sydenham, and Elder Baklan teaching a Russian over skype, and being by the sea in Bangor.
Love yous!
