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...
