| 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. (:
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. |
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. (:

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!
