All sorts of good

Hey everyone! This has been on super solid week. I shall start from the beginning.

Our killer tree we made. (:

Tuesday was p day. As you know we shopped, went to rhuddlan castle which was way bomb. Had a super good time. We worked on our Christmas tree. We emailed. While we were tracting that evening we went and welcomed Elder Humphries to Rhyl! It is so good to have him here. He is straight the man. We then saw carl and Cassie and that was super fun as usual. (:

Rhuddlan Castle. What a beaut.

Wednesday we were just finishing up comp study when I heard a knock at our door. There was Wilf Murray standing there (a member of the ward). I was surprised to see him and he said you ready to go, so I said sure. Haha we just hopped in his car with no clue what was going on. He had left a message with the wrong elders. Haha so we took a fridge with him to a less active lady. She was very grateful. So that was good. Then Wilf took us to his house and his wife gave us hot chocolate which was good. They then gave us this man to try by so we went and talked with him and his wife for like 45 minutes. They were super super nice. They didn't take a Book of Mormon but they said they'd for sure look at the website because they like Wilf so much. So that was pretty bomb. (: we did some stuff that afternoon, not really sure what haha. That night we had an appointment with Steve. He had a mate there as well. We were there for about an hour and they smoked like a whole pack of cigarettes while we were there. So I'm basically a smoker now I think. No problem.



Thursday was weekly planning which 'twas some good. We saw Yasmin that afternoon then tried by a couple of people. We then went to Mostyn. We were going to have tea with Sian and Rob but they had to cancel because Seren was vomiting all over the place. We didn't get there until about 5:30. We went to try by Peter the one who slammed the door on us last week. He was home and answered the door. We talked for a bit, and he began to cry a bit again. He said bye and started to slam the door and I was just like uh not happening. So I reached out and stopped the door before he could close it. Luckily he didn't get mad and we were able to get into his home because of it. Our mission motto is "bold as a lion" so haha me and Elder Jensen have been laughing about that quite a bit. There's gonna be somebody who's going to smack me across the face when I stop them from shutting their door. 😂 haha well anyways it went super good with peter. He is a sensitive man and has been having a really hard time for years. We told him about blessings and managed to clear a place for him to sit so we could give him a blessing. The blessing really helped him a lot and he seemed to feel better after that. We had such a good lesson with him and the spirit was really strong. He wants to be baptised so we are working towards the 7th of January. He likes the idea of a new year and a fresh start. So we are super excited. He is a good man. 


After that we went and tried by this man John. He was sitting in his front room watching tv. We knocked twice and he didn't move an inch. So then with much hesitation I knocked on his window. He slowly turned and looked at me then jumped up and ran out of the room. We waited for a little while then bailed outta there. So that didn't work out all that good. 😂 haha so we were trying to figure out what time the bus would come to take us back to Rhyl. Elder Jensen walked up to this lady who was sitting in her parked car. Hahaha she locked the doors like 4 times and was about to drive off but then rolled the window a tiny bit down. Haha it was the funniest thing that has ever happened to me.

We were on the bus all by ourselves and I didn't even know what to do with myself. An empty bus messes with the mind.

Friday and Saturday we did finding and had a street display and saw people and got a couple new investigators so that was good. Sunday Peter came to church! It was so bomb to have him there. He was crying through most through most of sacrament meeting. He felt the spirit super strong and he really enjoyed being there. So that went super super good. The ward was putting on a choir concert thing that night so we invited him and he really wanted to come. He came to that as well. It was so good, pretty amazing singing. So things are going super good with Peter.

So that's pretty much all I've got for you. We will be emailing this Saturday so on Christmas Eve but we will not be emailing the Monday following Christmas. So I will talk to you again on Saturday! 

Love you all have a killer week!
