| On an exchange with Elder Elliott from Jen: no info about this Elder -- I just read his nametag :) |
Hello
Hello,
Time flew by this week. We had a
couple of exchanges with the Norwich elders and the elders in Lowestoft. It’s
always fun to go cruise around the beaches of Lowestoft and speak with people –
especially when the sun is out. We had a nice lesson with a girl on the sea
front about prayer and how God answers prayers. It was a nice setting for a
lesson.
Cool experience – we were talking
with people in Norwich city centre. I always like going to city centre because
it is filled with the most interesting people! Norwich has a reputation for
that, -- it has quite the characters. I had really prayed that we would find
success, and we had some cool experiences. A lady came out of a shop right in
front of us and I casually said hello. She said hi in a rather glum tone and we
asked her if we could help her at all. She has a lot going on in life and we
had a great lesson with her. She feels the gospel can help her. And we spoke
with a Portuguese family that wants to learn more about eternal families.
We also went into London on
Saturday. That's always a good time. We have to go again this week for some
more meetings and what not.

| the beautiful Simbi family |
On Sunday the Simbis fed us some
proper African food – something called fufu??? Anyways it is pretty much like mashed
potatoes, but it’s not potatoes. It was fufu, and some vegetables and meat.
They don’t use silverware so were just going at it with our hands. It was
something else. Apparently we didn’t eat it right because they were all
laughing at us. It was a good time.
Spring is in the air in beautiful
England. Flowers are budding and popping up, and everything is turning green. It
is beautiful and I am happy as a clam.
Cheerio,
Elder
Purdy
