| Abergale Castle |
Tuesday we went to Abergale Castle and the woods like I talked about last week. Then that night me and Elder Korth traveled to Colwyn Bay to pick up the new elders coming to Rhyl. They are Elder Ravn from Denmark and Elder Cepeda from Ireland. Elder Ravn is training Elder Cepeda, they are great, really enthusiastic about the work. We helped them get to their flat in Rhyl. Holy nice. It's so stinking nice way nicer than our flat. Just a little idea of how nice their flat is, they have 2 bathrooms and they each have heated towel racks. Getting a wee bit pampered in that flat they are. (: Pretty messed up eh? Just kidding there's no worries. I like our flat so it's all good. (:
Wednesday we did some tracting without any real luck, nobody was interested that day. Ron Williams from the ward took us to "the bells of Saint Mary" a carvery. It was so good. Second time there. (: That night we visited a less active family that we had met the mom on the train a couple weeks back. They are amazing! So nice and super great. They are going to have us for tea sometime soon. (:
Thursday we had lunch at Sister Calcott's then did some service for her. We got to trim hedges which I always enjoy so it was a good time. (: We did some tracting with nobody really interested that afternoon then helped some members move that night with the new elders in Rhyl. Then we went to Mcdonalds afterward. Gotta love Mcdonalds. (: Brother Lowe picked me and Elder Korth up because we had a lesson with Sian that night. We taught the gospel of Jesus Christ. It was so good and was really led by the spirit. I extended the baptismal invitation after talking about baptism and she paused for a bit then said YES! We were so excited. We are so excited. (: The date is October 29th so we will keep working with her till then. Its so great to have Brother Lowe at lessons he is so so good.

Friday we met with Tina who referred herself online. We couldn't find any male fellowshippers so we brought along Sister Lowe and Cassie Davies from the ward. We taught the restoration and the lesson went so good! They all got along so great which really helped too. Near the end the spirit said we definitely need to invite her to baptism, so I did. She wants to be baptized! So great! (: We will set a date at our next lesson. then we met with Craig and Jo the ones who got married a bit over a month ago. Craig has been taught for 9 years. The last time we met with them he said he was in no rush to be baptized but wanted to. This time there, Jo joked saying they should make the missionaries wait another year. Then they said he wanted to be baptized before me and Elder Korth leave! So we are working towards a date this transfer. It was crazy we are really excited. He is working on word of wisdom but plans to be completely done by this weekend. We will set a date soon. We are so excited! We were planning on teaching Sian the word of wisdom Friday night and she was also going to feed us. Which is always super great, she is a super good cook. We got a text from her saying she hadn't smoked a single cigarette or had a single coffee that day! Shes amazing! We still taught the word of wisdom haha. (: What a bunch of miracles that happened Thursday and Friday. We are very grateful. (:
Saturday we watched the Saturday morning session of conference live! It was 5 o clock to 7 that night. It was so fun watching and thinking some people back home are watching this very same thing at the very same time. (: Colwyn bay elders came to Rhyl because their branch wasn't broadcasting it.

Sunday was conference again which was so good! Sunday morning we watched priesthood, then from 1-3 we watched the Saturday afternoon session. Sian and Tina were both there! It was the perfect session to have them there for. I love the song Joseph Smiths First Prayer and so to have a missionary choir start off the meeting singing it so beautifully was incredible! The spirit was so strong! And the rest of the meeting was so good too. Ah it was so great. (: Me and elder Korth had tea with the Pratt family which was super good. Then it was back to the chapel to watch the Sunday morning session live. Yet again So fun thinking everybody back home was watching it at the same time. I never realized how amazing conference is until this weekend. Being a missionary really helped me realize what a blessing conference is. A quick thought, loved Kazuhiko Yamashito's talk! Be ambitious for Christ! What a great way to put that. This week reading Jesus the Christ during personal study, I read about the day after the miracle of bread and fish how Jesus was teaching and so many people who had witnessed the miracle turned away from Jesus. Jesus then asked his apostles "Wilt thou also turn away". I love what Paul said "Lord, to whom shall we go? Thou hast the words of eternal life." That is so good. It is so simple too, where would we go? Jesus Christ can give us eternal life.
I hope you all have a great week this week! Be ambitious in Christ! Love you all!
Love, Elder Edwards
