Sleepovers, Tender mercies, President Nelson, Jehovah's Witnesses and Mcdonalds


Hello everyone! We had a KILLER week! Hope everything is going well with all of you.

Monday we went to Llandudno! It is so pretty there! We hiked up a little mountain/hill and the views up there were insane in every direction. We had a blast. We went with Elders Cossa, Chilpagiri, Raven, Cepeda, Korth and myself. It was so much fun. Elder Cossa can do flips! I've got lots of pictures of me doing flips. tee hee. So that was a real good time. (: I have loads of pictures haha. We also got fish n chips. 
Boy do i love fish n chips.  It makes me so happy. (:

Elder Cossa killin it. (:
Don't mind the face. (:
We had an AMAZING lesson with Tina! It was sooo good! She is going to be baptized on November 5th. She will seriously be so great and make such an amazing addition to the ward. We are super excited for her. (: Friday night we took a three hour train to Chorley. We had a meeting in Chorley Saturday morning and needed to be seated at 8:30 so we had to stay the night with the zone leaders there so we wouldn't have to travel ages 3 hours on a train in the morning. It was a blast. There was another set of elders staying there too so 6 elder sleepover. 1 bathroom. Haha it was super fun. (:

Llandudno

Saturday
 morning President Russell M. Nelson came and spoke to our mission!!! It was amazing! Him and his wife are soooo great. We all got to shake their hands as well so it was mad solid. I got so much great insight. I loved a part where they talked about how we can really be looking for what part god plays in our lives. When we are looking we can really notice that god is always there looking out for us.
The meeting was amazing. Afterwards I got my ipad! Solid. (: We went to mcdonalds and there was loads of missionaries there. A teacher from the MTC paid for every single missionaries food! It was so nice of her!! Wow it was so stinking nice. We traveled for a good portion of the day then visited a less active man and his family. They are super fun. 

On Sunday
 President Nelson came and spoke to the chester stake! We got the double whammy of president nelson haha. (: It was so good. Major mad good. We got some solid tracting that afternoon with nobody interested for a while. We came to one house and basically as soon as the door was opened we were invited in. That never happens! They were so nice and they gave us drinks. The man and his wife used to be Jehovah's Witnesses but don't agree with it anymore. He has loads of things that are tough to believe but he was very happy to take a Book of Mormon and read it. (: Hopefully we can meet with them again soon they were so nice. We had tea with Graham and Chez that night. Their family is the best. (:

Oh yeah! Thursday morning during weekly planning Jehovah's witnesses knocked on our door! We looked out the window to see who it was haha cause nobody ever knocks on our door. I was like no way! I was trying to button up my shirt and get a badge on because it would've been hilarious to answer the door and see what they would do. But I didn't get there in time. They left. Most disappointing thing of my life. haha. (:

I hope you all have an amazing week! Love you all!
-Elder Dallen Edwards


Don't hate me parents. (:
