South End on Sea

I am seriously slacking on this blog but i have had a lot on my plate lately so i don't feel quite so guilty not updating it as well as i should be. Since the last post Elder Bourne has been transferred to South End on Sea, which is right on the east coast of England, just above Dover. He loves it there and has been busy there, more so than his last area. There is a pier there thats the worlds largest pier and they got to go see it on a Pday and took some fun pictures too. His companion when he first got to this area was Elder Juipual from Guyana, which is in Bethanys mission. He is brand new out of the MTC and was in there with Allie Mae Jacobs, so he was pretty excited to find out that Tyson grew up with her in the same town. His birthday was one day after tysons on the 18th. Now tyson has a new companion this transfer and he is from BC Canada!! Tyson is pretty excited to get his first Canadian companion. He also has a couple of other elders in his area now from Canada too, one is from Taber, his Name is Elder Olsen and they get along so well! the whole mission got to hear Elder Jeffery R Holland speak and also shake his hand and talk to him too. Tyson was so excited to hear him speak. that would have been such a great talk to hear. I love Elder Holland.

Here are some pictures of him in this area so far. He is doing so well and loving it. He hit his year mark on August 17th, its going too fast now, i love this experience of having a missionary on a mission because right now i need all the missionary blessings we can get! But also to see the growth of Tysons testimony and how much he has loved serving and has come to love the people on England. But with that also comes the part of me that can't wait to get my sweet boy home. I cant wait to get that hug after he gets off the plane. I miss him so much but i wouldnt want him anywhere else right now. He is doing so much good and bringing so much joy to peoples lives. I am so proud of him and the young man he has become. I feel bad that he has to deal with the fact that his dad and i are getting divorced but he seems to be handling things fine and he has lots of support to. But as a mom i worry about him being so far away from me right now but he seems to be loosing himself in the work.
