Crystal Palace!

Its moves this week and on Wednesday I will be heading to London!!!! I will be in an area called Crystal Palace, and no, I do not know if there is a big Crystal Palace there, I'll have to find out. I am really excited, but also very sad to leave the Addlestone ward. This ward is so small I have grown so close to all the members, it just feels like they are all part of my family, it will be hard to go, but I know that the Lord needs me somewhere else. I am also going to miss my comp): I have learned so much from him.  I'm excited for this upcoming week and to see what this new place is going to be like. Thanks for everyones support and prayers. Hope you all have a brilliant week!!

Wherever you are, be there. Whatever your doing, do that.

                               

saying goodbye to Elder Tauman

This is a letter sent to Stan and I from the ward mission leader in Addlestone.

Brother and Sister Hanks,

My name is Bryce Bowman and I’m the ward missionary leader where your son was just transferred out of to a new area.  He has been with us for some time now and we are terribly sad to see him go. We’ve had the pleasure of having him over for dinner many times and the family has come to think of him as a permanent memberJ

I thought it would be good to send a short note expressing appreciation for the goodness of your son and recognize him for his contribution in the ward!  I can say with confidence that he has been a tremendous asset to the ward, served faithfully and been dedicated to helping bring the gospel to those waiting.  I very much appreciate his time here and also wanted to thank you for your own impact on him which is a testament to your own efforts. 

Thank you again.

Regards,
Bro. Bowman
