hello! how are you this week? thank you for the letters. It sounds like everyone is doing great! I can't believe Josh is 5! he'll be soo big when I get home..crazy.
this week has been about the same as the last couple weeks. We are still constantly rushing from one thing to another but now we pretty much know what we're doing at least. I had driving lessons this week and we got a car on Friday. I was so nervous to drive here but it's not even bad. round abouts are a little scary and the roads here are tiny but it's actually pretty fun to drive. most of the time :) It's so much better having a car because we can get a lot more done now. The bus services aren't very good in Crawley so it's much easier for us to see people now so hopefully things will start moving forward a little bit quicker.
It's still been pretty tough to handle two areas. the Visitors Center is pretty fun. I like working there. they are training us so right now we are pretty busy but once we're done training I have a feeling we'll have tons of down time while we are there. We have a few ideas of how to get members to bring their friends. we're going to try and do FHE on Monday nights at the Visitors Center and the ward seems pretty excited about the idea of that. the people here are so good with sharing the gospel with their friends but it's always hard getting them to come to church so this will be an easier way to reel them in :)
things in Crawley are going alright. we haven't had too much time to do contacting and when we have gone out we've gotten loads of potentials but they tend to drop like flies. we got a couple of new investigators last night that we will be meeting with this week. we're seeing one tonight, he says he's agnostic but when we talked about meeting with him to teach him he said yes and he was really surprised that he had agreed. His name is Chris and he is really cool, he had a few questions about life after death and a few other things. keep your fingers crossed! we need someone to teach!! It's been pretty hard trying to balance the visitors center and crawley but we are also having a ton of fun. I love my companions. we get along really well and they are amazing missionaries. I've been so blessed with awesome companions my whole mish I'm scared to see what is coming...there's bound to be one that I don't get along with.
we were able to meet with president shamo this week and talk to him about working in the visitors center and in crawley. Sister Howard and Burrows are called as visitors center workers and he said that next transfer we are getting 3 more and he has no idea what to do with them or where to put them haha I think he might end up putting all the vc workers in crawley so there can always be full time missionaries in the area but it's all still up in the air. he has no idea what he will be doing with them. he also talked to us about this new chat thing where you talk to someone online who came on the lds website and wants to know more. we are supposed to be doing that when we have time at the vc, which we don't, and when we have computers, which we don't haha that probably won't get going till next transfer though. who knows if I will even be in crawley anymore by then.
anyway, that is pretty much my week. its still so crazy but it is a lot of fun :)
I hope everything is going well back home! I love you so much!
love, chels
