Keeping it real in Rhyl.

This week has been pretty crazy. Met lots of crazy people to go along with my crazy week. (: Tuesday we had a zone meeting here in Rhyl which was really good. We then tracted most of the day but stopped by some investigators Jamie and Karen. We haven't had an official sit down lesson with them but we are going to on Friday. Should be good, Jamie is Karen's son and has been reading the Book of Mormon and seems really interested. We had dinner at Graham and Chez's that night and they wanted me to do a flip because Elder Korth brought it up. So I kinda failed a sideflip in my slacks on the concrete but there was no scratches or tears on my trousers so we were all good. (:

We went to the temple this morning for bank holiday which was great. (:

Wednesday was great we met with Paul and hes been reading the Book of Mormon and is interested and had lots of great questions. I'm excited about it. But he works like crazy so were not sure when we'll be able to meet with him next. Hopefully soon though. We mostly tracted the rest of the day but did have dinner with a recent convert David and his mom Debbie. It was great, David is super funny. But yeah a lot of tracting. (:

Thursday was weekly planning so we were in the flat till 1. Then did lots more tracting which was an absolute blast. (: We had dinner with some members, the Wades. They were great. We had a meeting that night with an investigator Hillary. She is pretty old. She asked us to pray that she can look young again and gave us some poems she wrote about how God is awesome, cool and a dj. Later she texted we will never make her be a Mormon. So we probably won't meet with her again. (:

Trying to eat a massive spider.

Friday there's not really anything to report we did a lot of tracting and travelling by bus took ages because Rhyl was crazy busy. We had dinner with the Jones's which was great they were super nice. (:

Saturday was my month mark! Crazy. It feels like so much longer yet not. Its pretty weird. We had a street display. It was really good but I got stuck talking to this man for literally an hour. I told him so many times I had to go but he just kept talking and talking telling me about all his life of casting out demons and praying in king Arthur's chair and vice grips and everything in between. His third time coming back he told me God had told him to take a Book of Mormon which he previously rejected in an exchange for a book he brought me that God instructed him to give me. Its enquire within upon everything. He said it will make me a chief elder within 4 years and contains a cure. So that was really something. 


But we found 6 new investigators who we will be meeting with soon so we will see how that will go. We also went to an investigators wedding that night which apparently missionaries have been waiting for for 10 years because he's been with his girlfriend for that long. So hopefully he'll become serious about baptism now. (:

Sunday was good but I'm running out of email time and there's not much to report. Have a great week all!
