Monday we went to the temple and that basically took up our whole P-Day. It was super great though i loved it. (:
Tuesday we had district meeting then afterward we went on exchanges. It was great! I went to Colwyn Bay to be with Elder Kaonohi and Elder Chilpagiri went to Rhyl to be with Elder Korth. We had a great time. Elder Kaonohi is the district leader so we traveled super far by train to the sisters area so he could do a baptismal interview for their investigator. His name is Robert and he is great and passed. (: We finally got back to Colwyn Bay at 8:50ish and walking back to the flat I said hello to a man who promptly went off on us. Screaming some very not good stuff about missionaries who stopped him a little while ago to talk. He was really upset. Lots of threats too. I wasn't worried though, Elder Kaonohi is a big islander from Hawaii, he's pretty buff. Haha so i wasn't worried. That was kinda crazy though.
Wednesday we did service in Colwyn Bay for a member. I got to trim hedges. It was super fun and i actually want to trim hedges for a living now instead of wallpaper hanging. It was pretty enjoyable. (: With this nice machine thing.Then we tracted some, then ended exchanges. Then me and Elder Korth Tracted. (:
Thursday was AMAZING! I'll start from the beginning. We had asked our ward mission leader to pray for somewhere for us to go and on Sunday he told us Mostyn. Mostyn is ages away by bus so we didn't really make any plans to get out there. Then on Thursday we got a referral on mormon.org and it was in Mostyn! SO we dropped our plans and took the hour bus ride there. The referral was fake. We were kind of disappointed but decided to just tract a random street since we were there. As we were tracting this tiny little street a woman came out and said "I have been waiting for you!" We were like what. She invited us in, her husband Rob was there, and gave us a drink and just told us all about how she's been searching for truth and has been waiting for Mormon missionaries to come to her house. She's been studying with Jehovah's Witnesses and enjoyed it a lot but doesn't think it's for her. She was so so excited. She said a while ago she started researching demon stuff and realized that with all the darkness in the world there had to be a light. And that's when she started searching for religion. Her name is Sian and she is amazing! We answered a ton of questions and shared some scriptures and all sorts of stuff. She invited us back for tea (tea is dinner) this Wednesday so we will go have tea and teach her a lesson too. She also wants to take us around the beautiful places of wales on a P-day. Me and Elder Korth are so excited and are praying that the lesson will go well and that we will have the spirit with us. This was crazy and amazing. Miracles happen! (:

Friday showed us that amazing days don't happen every day. (: Jamie and Karen weren't home for our appointment and we haven't been able to contact them. So we tracted a ton that day. A bunch of 5 or 6 year olds or something were following us door to door calling us losers. So we bailed on that street and went to a different one. (: When we were having a kind of good lesson with a lady a bunch of chavs (what they call teenagers who cause trouble) walked by and were yelling all sorts of crude things. That was lame. Also sidenote but EVERYONE thinks we are Jehovah's Witnesses. It kinda stinks but they are usually happy when they learn that we aren't haha. (:
Saturday we did a blitz with the Colwyn Bay elders and I left it 160% soaked. My rain jacket isn't amazing. (: All good though.
Sunday night was a mission fireside. It was so good. Recent Converts and the president speak at it. (: It was great.
I have like 2 pictures. Sorry!!!! We are going to a castle this afternoon so hopefully i'll have some good pics. Have a great week all!
Love, Elder Edwards
