A week--it had some stuff in it I'm pretty sure

Most enjoyable.

Hello all! Its been a pretty killer week! Monday funday was quite solid last week! Played some pool and got up to the usual shenanigans. Always good times. (:

Tuesday we had district meeting as per usual and it was quite good asper usual. The zone leaders made a sneak attack on our district meeting so that was good as well haha. They rest of the day was good we reacted in Prestatyn and met this super solid dude named Scott. Unfortunately he was at his mates for the day and doesn't live in our area. But he accepted a baptismal invitation so hopefully the missionaries in Chester can help him progress. (: We had tea with Graham and Chez that night which was good, we had gammon with pineapple and egg and chips. Super good. I enjoyed it immensely. We also saw Carl and Cassie that night and had some mad good hot chocolate. They're great. (:

Ah yeeeeh.

Wednesday we put in some solid tracting but didn't really find anyone who's interested. That night we met with this lady named Josie and her niece Danielle. Apparently Josie has been going to church for 20 years and hasn't been baptised. A member of the ward told us she is afraid of water. She told us she hasn't made up her mind yet. They are super super nice so we will have to keep helping them out and try to figure out just how we can help them. Then we had a lesson with this man named Steve. He writes his own music and so we were asking him about that and he put some on while we were talking. Haha that was pretty funny, sounded good. We tried to start teaching the restoration but he's just one of those people who wants to tell us everything they think, over and over and over again. He's the nicest man though. We need to just force the restoration on him. 😂 he also started smoking while we were there at his house so that wasn't the most pleasant. He's great though and he has the biggest Labrador I have ever seen. Such a solid dog. I want it. 😉 wink to the parents.

Is this how you ride one of these things?

Thursday was good, we had 2 appointments with investigators fall through which was kinda lame but is all good. (: we met this man named Danny while tracting. So nice. We talked to him for almost an hour on his doorstep. Way solid. We talked about loads of stuff and was super interested. Haha he also told us about in revelations it talks about the mark of the beast will be on the right wrist and will make so people don't have to buy or sell. (I looked it up afterwards) he then told us how somebody is making some sort of chip for the wrist that holds all your info and credit cards and stuff. He was like "awfully close for me, that's the mark of the beast" haha it was pretty funny. He might sound crazy but he definitely wasn't. Food for thought I guess. 😂 that night we went with our ward mission leader brother Lowe to Sian and Robs for continuing the new member lesson. It was super good and very led by the spirit. Its always great to have brother Lowe because he just straight kills it.

Preach it from the trees.

Friday we went to Mostyn and had 3 appointments with investigators fall through. That was lame. But still all good. We took a quick break after like 2 hours of tracting with nothing and swung on the swings for a bit. (: good times. Pics to follow. 😜 we had tea with Sian and Rob as well and that was great. Saturday we had a street display with the other elders. It went pretty good. It had been a while since we had done one so that was fun. That night we had an appointment with this lady Hilary who we kind of dropped for like 3 months but thought to give it another shot. It actually went quite well. Taught the restoration and it definitely went better than when we taught her a while ago. We saw Tina that night as well and that was great. Sunday was good.

Not weird.

After that we went and caught Peter in. I was sick of him not following through with things so I invited ourselves in. 😂 It worked out quite nicely though. We had another super spiritual lesson and taught the restoration. It helped him quite a bit. He is a quiet man and quite the hoarder. There wasn't even a place for us to sit so we had a standing lesson haha. (: he said he's done things in his life that he has felt like the worst person on the planet for so it was perfect to lead into baptism. I asked him what it would mean to him to be free from every single one of those feelings. He exclaimed quite loudly "it'd be bloody wonderful!!!" Haha it was hilarious. He agreed to be baptised and we are going to work towards the 21st of December. Exciting! (:

Cave starin'

Monday funday has been quite solid we went and hiked around Abergele woods and took about 3000 pictures in our bro photo shoots. That's where it's at. This morning during my personal study I started the Book of Mormon again. Ive read it a billion times but the first line really stood out to me today. The keystone of the true church of Jesus Christ starts out with, "I Nephi having been born of goodly parents." That stood out to me so much. Its the first thing that is in the Book of Mormon. It must be pretty [important]. I was just thinking of how grateful I am to be able to say, I Dallen having been born of goodly parents. (: thanks for all you do parents. You are the greatest people on the planet. I hope you all have a killer week love you all!
