Transfer tricks

Hello everybody! Well I'm not going to say transfer news till the end, no cheating and skipping ahead. Got that? 😜 alright so last Monday as you know we went to Llandudno again. It was a ballin good time. We have the illest district to ever exist. Hands down. It was a real good time, messing around and enjoying some sunshine. That night we had a lesson with peter. He joined us at the chapel and we watched the prophet of the restoration. Peter was super emotional through the whole thing and really really enjoyed it. So that was great stuff. (: After that we did some finding and talked to the homie Rob in Spar. Good night indeed.

The man. The myth. The legend Elder Cade Jensen.
Also, look how major twinning we are.

Tuesday we had a street display. Haha so I started talking to this lady, like ya do, and she said "excuse me I don't like being accosted in the street." So I said "oh I'm so sorry for accosting you" elder Humphries thought that was pretty funny. 😂 The rest of the day was good we saw Peter and had a good lesson with him. We then had tea with Sian and Rob which was great as always. After that we tried by Tina and she actually let us talk to her!! So that was the best. We talked for a while and ended up talking about church. She's going to a happy clappy church right now. Not sure the whole reason why she stopped coming but she was saying there was just too much stuff. Too much going on, loads of meetings and stuff after her baptism and everything was just super rushed. I bore testimony of the Book of Mormon and priesthood and all that good stuff so that was good. It was good to actually get to talk to her. (: We saw carl and Cassie that evening which was great.

Wednesday morning we got a text from Peter telling us he didn't want to be baptised anymore. We were like whaaaat and gave him a call. He wasn't answering his phone so we just snagged a bus over there to Mostyn. We weren't able to see him though. He wasn't in. So that was lame. We went back to Rhyl and that evening we had a worldwide missionary broadcast thingy. They announced the new schedule even though we'd already heard about it. I love the new schedule. The goal with it is to give us back our agency and let us judge righteously how to use our time. I think it is a really smart move. Also not planning in the evening is just glorious. (:

Thursday we did some tracting then traveled to Mostyn to try and see Peter. We were able to catch him in and he let us in. We found out that he was mostly just scared for his baptism. And he felt a little unworthy. We had a great lesson on fear and he decided he still wanted to be baptised. So that was solid. We had ward council that evening which was really good. We talked loads about the recent converts of the ward so it was good stuff.

Wearing a burning tie.

Friday was mine and Elder Humphries 6 month mark!! 😁 we went to Pizza Hut and had all you can eat buffet to celebrate. I felt most un-triumphant afterward. Because I was so full. But also most triumphant at the same time. 😜 We went to Denbigh and had a good lesson with our man Petros. He really wants to get his faith in God back so that's good. (: we had tea with the Jollife family and she fed us a super solid curry. It was delicious to the maximum. We had Peter come to Rhyl for a lesson. It was great as well. We watched the broken vessels Mormon message and it was super good for Peter. After that elder Humphries and Cepeda met us at the chapel so me and Elder Humphries could burn some ties! He he he. I have been so excited to burn a tie. We switched it up from the norm, and burned our ties while we wore them. 😜 One pic to follow then more like next week or somethin. It
was a good time. (:

Saturday morning we got the scary call that any missionary knows what I'm talking about... 😜 President Ulrich gave us a call for our transfer news! So elder Jensen will be staying here in Rhyl and training a new missionary! Crazy crazy! Excited for him he is going to do great. (: and I will be leaving the land of my inheritance and going to Chester! Same zone which is nice. (: I will be serving with Elder Stuff who has been out for 1 transfer. All I know is that he is from Canada, has red hair, and he snowboards. So heck stinkin yes. 😜 I'm excited he seems like a really nice dude. Also I will be the district leader... ... ... ... ... not sure how I feel about that. 😜 It'll be good though I'm excited to get outside of my comfort zone again. (: 

The main man Peter.

So then we had Peter's baptism! It was so good! Peter was super nervous and was literally shaking, but it just went so good. After he was baptised and in the changing room he just cried and cried because he felt the spirit so strong. It was amazing to see him so happy. (: It was a blessing to teach him, the gospel has absolutely changed his life. He is such a good man. (: Elder Jensen baptised him and it was a great experience for everyone involved. (: we had fish and chips from my favorite chippy for the last time with the other elders. 😢

Sunday was great we had Peter's confirmation which went really well. So Elder Humphries got a call from president Sunday morning and will be training as well! Crazy! Elder Cepeda is going to Whitefield. Going to be weird not being in the same area as him anymore. He is straight the man. Thank goodness for Utah. 😅 The rest of the day me and Elder Jensen just went around saying goodbye to people. 

First weekend together in Rhyl and last weekend together in Rhyl.

First there was two. And then there was none.

So today since me and Elder Jensen cleaned the heck outta the flat for transfer cleaning. I packed as well. So then elder Jensen and Humphries had to travel to Manchester for the train the trainers

meeting. So that means... that me and Elder Cepeda are companions for the day!! Heck to the stinkin yes! Haha it is the perfect way to finish off 4 1/2 months in the same area, with an exchange on the last day. (:

Graham and Chez's house

So yeah! I will be leaving Rhyl! It's kinda sad, saying bye to Sian and Rob was especially lame. But I'm excited for this new transfer! It's been a great pleasure to serve with elder Jensen. It was amazing to be able to finish off two transfers together of hard work with the baptism of Peter. Elder Jensen is a great missionary and a super hard worker. A true homie. Him and his new companion are going to do great work here in Rhyl. Alright, well peace out everyone! Love you all!

Subjects are the bane of my existence

Hello all! Hope it's been a killer week, in the various places of the world! Mostly hope it's been a killer week in Utah though because ya know, best place. Last Monday... I can't even remember what we did... we did some stuff though I'm sure of it... 

Tuesday! Tuesday we went to district meeting down in Colwyn Bay. It was some good. Afterwards me and elder Jensen stayed in colwyn bay for exchanges. They changed the way they do exchanges, now instead of companionships splitting up and working the 2 areas, now all four elders just go to the district leaders area. It was pretty solid though. I went with the illest district leader Elder Cossa. From the land of Zimbabwe. It was great, we tracted that afternoon in some place, not much interest but we had a good time. This lady got very upset with us for knocking on her door. Curse words were screamed. Spittle was spewed. Fingers were put up. Haha it's crazy how upset some people can get. All good. (: Then this kid who was really quite stoned wanted a Book of Mormon, but we convinced him to take a pamphlet instead and if he liked it he could get a Book. 😜 After that we met up with Paul, a member there in Colwyn Bay and snagged a bus to go and see their investigator Emma. She made tea for us. It was like the most delicious curry I ever did have. We then had a super great lesson on the Holy Ghost. Emma has been dated for baptism a couple times but it never ended up going through. The spirit was super strong and I really enjoyed it. We were able to date her for baptism so hopefully the Colwyn Bay elders can help her accomplish that date. After that we saw this less active lady sister McKenna. The lady has 10 smart phones, 3 laptops, and 4 iPads. I just don't even understand. 😂 she's hilarious, Elder Cossa called her phone and as she would be searching through all the phones he would hang up. It was most entertaining. She also told me about the time she called president Hinckley Chuck. Haha it was a most interesting visit. It's always fun working in somebody else's area. (:

All the homies.

Wednesday me and elder Cossa did some street contacting, studying, lunch eating then ended the exchange. Me and elder Jensen rolled on back to Rhyl. We did some tracting and saw a couple people that afternoon. Had tea and then went to travel to mostyn to see peter. We were supposed to see him, but the bus times were wrong and there wasn't actually a bus. So that was lame. We tried by a couple people and saw the homie Rob in spar again. We gave him a Book of Mormon which was solid. He's such a nice dude.

Thursday we had weekly planning. It was good. it was kind of a crazy day we were going all over the place for all sorts of stuff. We had tea with bishop which was solid. That night we had another lesson with Cassie's friends Kate and Fran. Kate especially is super interested and really wants to know if god exists. She had read the chapter we left her! Score! 😁 we had a great lesson just talking about prayer and scripture study. Good stuff. (:

This one time on a crowded train.😂
I was leaned back a bit, not quite that short.😜 Pretty close though. 

Friday we got a text from Peter saying he didn't want to be baptised anymore. I gave him a call and we set up to come around that afternoon. Like 5 months ago I was reading an ensign in the flat and had read this article about healing emotionally from experiences. I thought of it that morning and thought it was PERFECT for peter. So I found it on the shelf and read through it. Me and elder Jensen decided it would be great for him, so we took it with us. When we saw peter he thought he needed to work through some things from his past before his baptism. As soon as I started reading the article the spirit just filled the room. Peter got really emotional and it was just perfect. Afterwards I asked him what he thinks he should do and he said move forward and get baptised because he knows starting there will help him. So that was super good. We gave him a blessing and are moving forward with the baptism but moving it to this Saturday cause he needs a bit more time. Exciting! We had tea with the Jones's that night which was great.

Sorry almost out of time, Saturday we had a great street display where Elder Humphries got bashed by a Jehovah Witness lady and attack hugged him. 😂 He was not happy afterward hahaha. We saw Peter again then saw Graham and Chez. Great stuff. 

Cheesy pic

Sunday Peter came to church which was great. We tried by some former investigators that afternoon and met with a man named Steve. Good stuff. P day today was solid! Loads of people met up in Llandudno to hike the great orme. I'll send some of those pics next week cause can't today. Sorry this last bit was rushed. I love this work! I love all of you as well! Thanks for the support! Have a great week!😁

-Elder Dallen Edwards

You know if your 2 litre cola cost 20 cents it's really good quality and healthy so drink the whole thing

Hello everybody! We have had a killer week! The next installment of Elder Edwards's missionary work adventures coming right up!

Monday: so yeah we did some castling and other and such. Good p day. The rest of night we street contacted for a while and got a pretty solid potential investigator so that was good. Yeah. That's about it.

Tuesday we manoeuvred ourselves over to district meeting. It was a good solid district meeting. The sisters did a training where we each got a Christ like attribute and we had to explain why ours was the best. Mine was humility and I found a scripture that says if you're not humble you will perish. So I basically won hands down. 😂 haha  

P day shopping

After district meeting we went to Mostyn and saw Peter. We had a solid lesson with him! We were talking about how he would need to stop coffee that day if he wanted to be baptized on the 21st and he poured all his coffee down the toilet! He is seriously the man! We offered to buy him some hot chocolate as a replacement but he had already bought some! Hahaha  So he told us while shopping that week the hot chocolate was on the shelf and it said "oye! Come get some of me!" His own words. Haha it was the funniest thing ever coming from him. 😂 he is a good man, and has some really sincere desire to change. (: that night we saw Carl and Cassie which was solid. They are great, always fun to see.

Wednesday was FREEZING! The wind was about a billion and a half miles an hour so it was loads of fun. We did some finding for a while, then went and sat in the warmth of subway for a little while and called pretty much every single person in our phone, got a couple new investigators out of it so that was solid. (: We had tea with the Boome family that night. They are super great, and they always feed major solid food. It was most excellent. Then we proceeded to get on the wrong bus and start heading in the opposite direction of Rhyl. 😂 hopped off then had to wait for another one which was a little lame. 😜 Every single time we walk past this spar near our flat for the past 5 months I feel like we should talk to the man who's always working in there. So we finally went in and talked to him for a while, his name is Rob and he's super chill. Super nice as well. We're hopefully going to meet with him soon. (:

Pday shopping--Bath robes!

Thursday was weekly planning. Yeah yeah it was good. We went to Prestatyn for a bit and visited Debbie in her cake shop. She is great. She has a referral for us that she's hopefully going to invite to a lesson soon. That afternoon we went to mostyn and had tea with Sian and Rob. They are still doing pretty good. We had a great lesson with them. They are the best people ever. (: after that we saw Peter and had a really good lesson with him as well. He is doing really good and is working really hard to be able to be baptized next week because he doesn't want to push it back again. Thursday night we went and taught some of Cassie's friends! Kate and Fran were their names. We taught the restoration and it was a great lesson! They are really hard to keep on track haha. But they both took Book of Mormons and asked if we could come back and teach more! So that was major solid. (:

Trying on a suit. The suits here are the bomb.

Friday was even more freezing then Wednesday. It was hailing and crazy windy. Fun fun. Luckily we had loads of stuff going on so we were indoors for much of it. (: We had a lesson with this Muslim lady Abeer and her husband David! It was probably one of my favorite discussions I have taught yet on my mission. It was so so good. We talked about religion and taught them the restoration, they were super open and seemed to really like everything we said. She even acknowledged the energy she could feel in the room. They took a Book of Mormon, and were very open to reading and praying to find out if it was true. (: it was major solid. We traveled the age long bus ride to mostyn from Belgrano where Abeer lives. They are on complete opposite ends of our area haha. We went to Peter's house and we went to have tea at the "Bells of Saint Mary" a really nice carvery. The food was major solid and I ate way too stinkin much. It was the best. After that we traveled with Peter to Colwyn Bay for his baptismal interview. He passed! He was so excited and proud of himself after. (: We're major excited as well.

WE SAW SNOW!!!!

Saturday we went to Denbigh and went and tried by this previous investigator Petross. He invited us in and we had a great lesson about the Book of Mormon. He is really interested in coming to know God again because he misses having that in his life. He was actually suggested by Brolo because he was saying he went with the missionaries a couple years ago and thought Petross might be ready for the gospel now. So we are looking forward to seeing him again! 😁 the rest of the day we did some finding and had a couple really good lessons. We saw Graham and Chez that night which was fun as usual. Sunday we had church and tried by loads of previous investigators. It was a pretty good day. (:

Today we did some pool playing and got our haircut and now be chillin at the chapel. (: its been a great week. Its been so amazing seeing the influence Jesus Christ has on people's lives! We can all come closer to him and it will help us live such better and more purposeful lives. Grateful for all that he has done for us. Hope you all have a great week! 

Love you all! Shred hard in the beautiful snow for me if you're in Utah!

Not sure if I ever sent this one...

Still Wales

Hello all! On the next instalment of Elder Edwards's missionary work adventures... knocking doors!! Wow!! Getting rejected!!! Alright!! Walking around!!! No way!!! Planning!!! Exciting!!! Studying!! How neat is that!!!... well sorry about that. What an intro eh? 😜

A pic from Christmas dinner with the Lowe family. Brolo took the pic. Some sort of English tradition where you wear these paper hats out of a popper thing. Nice.

Last Monday was some solid. We played pool I think. It was a good time. I really like pool. And it's only 50 pence a game which is way solid. We play pool quite often now. That's pretty much all we did. Then just chilled about at the chapel.

Tuesday president came to Rhyl to interview all the missionaries in Chester zone. Our interviews were at 12:45 and he was so far behind we sat around with all the other missionaries until we finally had our interviews at like 2:30. Good times. We had an appointment with our Elders Quorum president Andy to help him paint and get fed at 2:30 so we were a bit late. 😂 President ended up taking the elders in Rhyl out to dinner after. We couldn't go because we had the other appointment but Elders Cepeda and Humphries got to go with him haha. That night we saw Graham and Chez then Carl and Cassie and it was a good time. (:

#rain

Wednesday we did some finding and got a couple of investigators which was good. We had tea with the Yansen family that night. They fed us some seriously solid food. It was an amazing stir fry. Top class. They are a great family. And he has a quality Porsche. After that Brolo picked us up and we drove to Mostyn to see Peter. He is doing pretty good. We had a great lesson with him talking about the word of wisdom and chastity and really just helping him out with a lot of his concerns. It was a really really good lesson. Afterwards we saw Sian and Rob. They are doing pretty good as well. They are just the best people to exist in Wales. Brolo' style of doing a lesson is just follow the spirit. Haha so we didn't really plan anything specific to teach them. We had a super great discussion for a while and we could really feel the spirit. It was really nice.

Thursday we traveled to Crewe for the mission "vision" meeting. We left nice and early in the morning. President spoke for a while which was really good then we had some trainings. After that we had lunch. Subway. Solid. And then after lunch they introduced... the new schedule! Pretty crazy. Basically p day starts earlier (yay) and we have a more flexibility to plan studies and stuff for when they fit best into our day. Also what I'm the most excited about is we don't plan at night anymore! It is glorious. Get back to the flat at 9 and just chillin. Ah it's so nice. We plan in the morning now and at least for me it is way more effective. I'm loving it so far. (: then we traveled back to Rhyl and got some tasty kebabs with the other elders. Good times.

Friday we had weekly planning. Can you guess what it was? It was good. 😜 after that we headed to Mostyn for an appointment with an investigator. He didn't show again. We will probably drop him because his wife kinda hates us 😂 and he never shows. We did some finding that afternoon then had tea with Sian and Rob. Ah she feeds us the best food. Sausage, stuffing, mashed potatoes, onions. It was glorious. Stuffing is my favorite thing on the planet I think. We had a really great lesson afterwards just talking about Jesus Christ. They are such good people, Sian and rob. Its been so amazing getting to know them.

Saturday we had a street display with the other Elders. This street display was rough. NOBODY would listen to any of us. I only got 2 people to talk to me and one of them just wanted to bash. So that was a real good time. We did some tracting then had tea at our flat with the other elders. We had the traditional social Saturday meal which is pasta. We have perfected the art of making pasta. Loads of peppers and meatballs and all sorts of goodness. So good. The rest of the night was good as well.

Sunday we had church then ate then went to a fireside in Chorley with Brolo and Sian. Sian really enjoyed it. It was so much fun and had a great spirit. It wasn't the usual recent convert fireside but it was this musical sort of thing called "the story goes on." It was solid.

Today we did some castling then chicken nugget eating then bought loads of cheap ties. Ties are the bomb. Thanks for tuning in and next week on elder Edwards's adventures is... more knocking on doors!!!! Wow!! Haha love you all have a great week. (:

Happy New Year!! :)

Hello all! This past week has been pretty killer. 😁 I last emailed on Christmas Eve. That day was a good one, we visited some members and such and had tea with Sabrina, Dave, and Carson. Carson is the funniest kid around. We had a crazy wrestling match with his WWE action figures. 😜 we had loads of fun they are great people. (: 

Carson is the man. 

Christmas morning we got to sleep in! A whole extra half hour! Heck yeah! 😁 haha it was great. We burnt our strange plastic waffles quite badly though so that was a shame. Christmas Day was just great. We opened our packages and such and it was a real good time. (: 

Christmas morning.

We only had sacrament meeting, then we went to Brother Lowes for the afternoon. It was a real good time as well, so nice to get some time to just relax. After we stayed there for a while we headed to the chapel and chilled for a little while. Then Skyped our families! 😁 It was the best thing that has ever happened to me. Ive got one heck of a killer family. After we had all skyped the other elders came over to our flat and we had some crazy good burgers. Burgers with stuffing on them was 100% delicious. 😁 

Laurel here: The view from our living room--Farrell hooked up the computer to the TV so we could talk to Dallen larger-than-life. So fun to talk to him and meet these other missionaries who are so important to him.

Christmas was a great reminder that I have some really great people in my life. It was so nice to talk to them. Best Christmas present Ive ever gotten. (: our mission president challenged us to do a 45-60 minute prayer so we did that Sunday night. I'd never prayed for more than like 5 minutes then did a 45 minute prayer. I thouroughly enjoyed it. Highly recommended to anyone wanting a spiritual boost. (:

Monday was Boxing Day so there was no buses running. That really stinks when you are 100% dependent on buses and didn't realise they wouldn't be running when you planned the night before. 😂 haha we figured it out though. We had a lunch and a tea appointment so that was great. I was most triumphantly full afterwards. Ive been most triumphantly full all week. 

Tuesday we went to a nearby town for some tracting. We met some nice people and one pretty solid potential investigator named Abeer. She was super nice. We saw carl and Cassie that night which was super fun as always.

Wednesday we had a zone meeting. It was great as always, its always so fun to see loads of other missionaries. Afterwards Elder Jensen went to Colwyn Bay for exchanges with Elder Cossa and Elder Tarbet stayed here in Rhyl. We had a good time trying by loads of people and doing some tracting. We went to our elders quorum presidents house for tea that night. Him and his wife are great. He looks just like frodo in case anyone was wondering. We played one of those games that married couples do to see how well you know each other. Andy and Vicky got 7 out of 12. Haha Me and Elder Tarbet got 10 out of 12 even though we'd only been companions for like 6 hours. Killed it. All luck though.

I was fixing my tie in the wind and Elder Jensen snagged a pic and it looked kinda neat so here ya go!

Thursday we exchanged back, helped the McAllisters jump start their car and push it up a hill, then had tea with Sian and Rob. It was good to see them. They are great. (: we saw Peter after that and had a good lesson with him. He is a really good man and always enjoys having us over.

Stree displayin.

Friday we had a great street display. It'd been a while since we did one. They are always great. We saw Graham and Chez that night as well, their family is hilarious.

Saturday we had another street display and it went super good. We had loads of extra chocolate so we were giving it away to all the people of Rhyl. It was a good time. (: we got New Year's Eve evening off. The other elders came over to our flat. There was an old loaf of bread that wasn't going to be eaten. You know what that means. We had tea with the McAllisters that night. 

When moms away the boys will play.

New Years was great, us 4 missionaries spoke in church about what Christ means to us. Talking to people on the street is no problem anymore but giving a talk is still scary. 😜 It was good though I enjoyed the opportunity. Peter came to church again and really enjoyed it. He is doing really well. We had 2 tea appointments that afternoon then just chilled with the other elders. It was glorious to have a day of no proselyting. Haha oh yeah New Year's Eve we went to bed and set an alarm for 5 minutes before midnight. 😂 haha need the sleep. I hope you all have a killer week! I am grateful to be here and grateful for all of your support. Love you all!

Almost Christmas!!!

(Dallen's mom here: This email was sent on Saturday, December 23, 2016. In the midst of activities on Christmas eve and then the exciting event of skyping on Christmas day, I'm sorry to say I completely spaced posting on the blog.)

He he he

Hello everybody! This week has been a solid one. Let me take you all on an adventure to Wales now come onnnn! Haha that was weird. Monday was pretty solid. We didn't have a whole lotta time because our p day ended at 3. So we played some pool emailed and that's pretty much it for p day. We did some tracting for the rest of the day and saw Graham and Chez + kids. Always a good time there. (:

Tuesday was kind of really really crappy. I will get to that in a moment. We went and tracted this little village that we hadn't been to, and were tracting like basically out in the farm country. It was a pretty good time. Got a couple good potential investigators but it will be a pain to get back there and see them again. We saw Sian and Rob that night and had tea with them. They are doing ok. Sian has been put on bed rest because the medication for her migraines is having some crazy side effects. So they haven't been to church In a little while. We talked to her today and she is feeling a lot better so that's good. Alright so here's my bad news. Tina has been super dodgy lately. Won't meet with us, making up excuses for why she can't, won't meet with anyone from the church. Hasn't been to church in almost a month. We were at carl and Cassie's on Tuesday night when Cassie asked if I had heard the news about Tina. She told me that Tina had posted on the wards facebook page that she is going to join the Pentecostal church. It was quite surprising and really sucky news. That night was super rough. I was just chilling in my bed after planning and opened my Book of Mormon to a random page. I read in Helaman 10:4-5, which says, 

Blessed art thou, Nephi, for those things which thou hast done; for I have beheld how thou hast with unwearyingness declared the word, which I have given unto thee, unto this people. And thou hast not feared them, and hast not sought thine own life, but hast sought my will, and to keep my commandments. 

And now, because thou hast done this with such unwearyingness, behold, I will bless thee forever; and I will make thee mighty in word and in deed, in faith and in works; yea, even that all things shall be done unto thee according to thy word, for thou shalt not ask that which is contrary to my will.

That was really nice to read. By all means it didn't take away the sadness or the hurt but it helped. God won't take our hard times completely away but he will not leave us comfort less. It was really nice to get that bit of comfort. Just so you all know I'm fine now, didn't let it get me down for too long. Just a night. 😜

More bathroom selfies.

Wednesday we did all sorts o stuff. That night we traveled with the other elders to Preston to spend the night there. We stayed with Elder Arias from my group and Elder Andrate from Elder Jensens home town. Elder Arias has the heat CRANKED in that flat so we were all dying. They had a monster powerful fan so I had that fan bumpin. It was quite nice. (: we woke up at 5 the next morning and headed to Chorley. It was the multi zone party for the south zones. So we got to do baptisms and an endowment session in the Chorley temple. It was super nice. Then we had the Christmas party. It was way fun. So fun to see loads of missionaries. Santa came as well. It was most excellent. We left the party at 6 and had to get like 6 different trains because they were being all weird. So that was actually pretty fun. We didn't get back till like 11 o clock. Not enough sleep. 10:30-6:25 is my favorite time of the day. 😂

Beautiful Wales.

Friday was good we did some weekly planning, then tracting, then we had tea with bishops fam. It was super fun. We had a massive nerf gun war with bishops whole family. It was most triumphant. Haha it was way fun. We saw graham and chez that night which was super fun as always. Their fam is the bestest ever.

I can't believe today is Christmas Eve! Super exciting time of year. I love being able to serve the lord with everything I have and I'm so appreciative to the many things He has done for me. My mission has taught me so much already. I have learned so much about the life and character of Jesus Christ. I love how we can focus on him at this time of year. But we can also focus on him all year round and always keep him in our thoughts. It is so amazing the sacrifice He made for us so that we can all become clean and come back and live with him again. I'm so grateful for my saviour Jesus Christ. I know he lives. I know this is His church and that He is at the head. 

I love you all and hope you have an amazing Christmas. Deuces!🎄 

Also, I wish we had snow here. Just so you know.

Just another one from a while ago.
