A week of some good

Hello everybody! Hope you are all doing amazing! We have had a great week lots o finding again but it has been most solid. Last Monday fun day we just chilled about did some shopping and stuff. It was raining crazy hard all day long. At 6 o clock we headed out for some tracting. Silly me forgot to use my brain when buying a coat and didn't buy a waterproof one. I was completely one hundred percent soaked by 8 when we went and visited Sabrina and Carson. It was a good time. Quite the storm. 😂

Just summited. (Not on a bus.) 😜

Tuesday we had district meeting which was solid. We now have a Welsh senior couple in our district! It is good to have them here. They gave us all some good chocolate stuff. (: Chocolate Swiss roll or something. We had some good pingin and pongin during lunch. We had a good rest of our day and met some nice people. It was quite good. (:

Wednesday we went to Mostyn. We did some tracting in Rhyl that morning before we went. We got there and went to our investigator John's home for the appointment we had with him. A Book of Mormon was sitting on the porch and nobody answered. 😐 that was major lame. Our other investigator Peter wasn't home for his appointment either. We went to a nearby town to try and find this pub to get some food. It was prolly a half hour walk there. The pub didn't even exist anymore. Kinda lame our day wasn't really turning out super well. We did some tracting but weren't feeling it at all in this little town. We said a prayer and asked what we should do. We finished our prayer and immediately up pulled a bus that would take us back to Mostyn. Haha we were like there's our answer and hopped on the bus. We had a dinner from a convenience store of chocolate muffins and Dr Pepper. I didn't feel super good afterward. 😂 

I bought it even though I can't wear it for 20 more months.😂

We then went and tried by Peter again. He was home but told us that he was wasting our time and wasn't sure if he believed in God anymore. We talked for a bit and told him he definitely wasn't wasting our time. I felt like I should talk about how we can all see our loved ones again, and how sometimes we feel like they leave this life too soon. He started crying and said that's what happened. The spirit was super super strong and we testified that we really can see and live with them again. We acknowledged the spirit that was there and told him that was God telling us the truth. Peter seemed pretty touched and agreed to have us back on Friday. It was pretty amazing. We went to try by John again after that and he was home and apologised that he hadn't been there. He thought we were only coming to take back the Book. 😂 haha he was happy to learn that he could keep it cause he had enjoyed reading it. He also agreed to have us back on Friday. So that was super solid. (:

Late night hedgehog we found.

Thursday was weekly pizza/planning day. It was good. We went to Prestatyn after that to do some tracting. We went through this wooded path as a shortcut and elder Jensen went down in some mad mud. Mad down. Ah I felt way bad for him his suit was covered in mud. 😂 so we went back to the bus station and snagged a bus back. Wrong bus. /: it took an extra half hour. Haha the day was just not going our way.

The suit pants.

The McAllisters had us over for thanksgiving dinner that night. Sister McAllister and her son moved here from California a couple months ago and her husband and other son are still living in California. They were visiting from Cali though so they were all there. It was way solid. Still got to have thanksgiving which is like the best holiday, the whole world should celebrate it I think. Their son Daniel the one who still lives in Cali is a legend. Him and his friends literally just hang out at the circle k all the time. Anyone who knows what I'm talking about, you are most excellent. (: it was great.

Friday we went to Mostyn and did some tracting. Neither Peter or John showed up for their appointments. /: that was pretty lame but whatever. We met this lady Emma who was super crazy interested and said she felt drawn towards the book we gave her. She was so solid. Unfortunately she called us this morning and had read all about mormons in the internet and her husband had kind of said no. So that was major lame. All good though, someday. (: We had tea with Sian and Rob that night, and it was bomb as always. They are the best.

Saturday 'twas good we went to a town called st Asaph with the other elders. We met some nice people so it was good. We were having tea at our flat that night and we're getting a bit rowdy. Elder Cepeda had been talking about where kidneys are. I punched him in the kidney during the rough housing. He said "ow you punched me in the kidney!!!... I think..." haha it was hilarious. 😂 never a dull moment. We saw Tina that night and it was great to see her. She is the best.

Homemade pizzas. Elders Edwards, Jensen, Cepeda, & Raven.

Sunday was good as well, had church as per usual and one of our investies who we had an appointment with cancelled. We have the curse of the investigators who will never show their faces after the first time we meet them. 😂 it's all good though we just keep working hard and not getting discouraged. (:

Monday funday has been good so far, we played pool with Elders Cepeda and Raven and are now chilling in the chapel. I love you all and hope you have a killer week. (:
