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. (:

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. (:
