Monday! I already told you about it but Monday was super fun. Me and Elder Cepeda said goodbye to Carl and Cassie and Graham and Chez. They all the bestest. It was sad to leave. It was a good time that night, just chillin and talking for a bit.

Tuesday morning was the madness of taking 2 different buses with 6 bags of luggage. Complete madness. I think the bus driver hated us. 😂 np. He rejected a little girl on her way to school from getting on the bus. She ran to the bus and right as she got to it, he closed the doors and drove away. Complete savagery. Not in a good way though. It's a pain for everyone who takes public transport when you got a grumpy bus driver. Luckily we didn't get rejected though. We traveled down to Colwyn Bay to get the coach to transfer meeting. It was nice to hang with the district for one last time before a lot of us got transferred. The coach ride to transfers was like 3 hours. Real good time.
Transfer meeting was good and then I met up with Elder Stiff! He is straight up the man. Canadian too. The drift king of Canada. We got a ride with the zone leaders back, did shopping for the week, and that was pretty much the end of that day.

Wednesday was great. We basically just did some finding for most of the day. Elder stiff is hilarious and we get along super well, Ive been laughing so hard all week. He is a great missionary as well, really on top of everything and really obedient. So that is all good good stuff. (: it doesn't feel like a trainer trainee situation at all he just kills it. I wish when I was at 6 weeks out I was killing it that hard. 😜 We had a good time of finding, nobody was really interested we had ward coordination that night which was good. It's pretty crazy we have 3 sets of missionaries in our area. The zone leaders, us, and the Chester sisters. Haha loads of missionaries here.

Thursday Elder Stiff went on exchanges with Elders Artates and Douglas so that me and 2 other district leaders and the zone leaders could go to a missionary leadership council. It was really really good, but mad long. It could've been a bit shorter haha but really good. There was loads of district leader tips so that was good. (: most helpful. After that we snagged some macky's then tried by a couple people then headed back.
Friday we weekly planned in the morning which was good. Not loads of people to plan for. We walked ages to this place called Soughton so we could tract the pant streets. All the street names started with pant. 😂 haha we laugh at the stupidest things. It was a good time though, had a couple good conversations and gave a book to one kid who was pretty interested. When we got back to the flat for tea we were just chillin out a bit and making up some gnarly football manoeuvres, like the up the leg thrower and up the other leg thrower to name a few. I did the roly poly where I held the ball with my legs then did a somersault. Elder Stiff tried it and kinda just flipped onto his back and the ball ended up perfectly underneath his head. He said "I call this one the chillax" for some reason I just busted up and could not stop laughing.

For 15 minutes I couldn't stop laughing, I didn't want to laugh but it was uncontrollable. I was kinda recovering when we left the flat. Waiting at the bus stop I was fairly in control. On the bus I was singing I am a child of God in my head to keep from laughing but whenever it came into my head laughs burst out a little bit. The people on the bus prolly thought I was crazy. 😂 Elder Stiff literally broke my brain. My brain has never been that outta control before hahaha. 😂 I recovered and we went and saw this less active man. He was really nice, it's hard for him to retain stuff so we had to teach super simply. We then saw this investigator Damien. Haha so his decorations on his walls were hilarious, one of them being a single framed steroid bottle on the wall. 😂 he was a very nice and interesting man. When we got back to the flat that night, the memories of the chillax flooded back and I couldn't stop laughing again. It was an interesting night to say the least. The district leader stuff has been going good, doing call ins and such. Our district is us, zone leaders, Chester sisters, and Wrexham sisters. Nice size. (:

Saturday we had a street display in Chester with the Chester missionaries. Remember a while back how I went to a cathedral in Chester on a p day? Haha so we did the street display right in front of that cathedral. Never thought I'd serve here. The city of Chester is so solid, we live about a half hour bus ride away from Chester in a city called Buckley. The street display was good, not a lot of people very interested though. We had tea that night which was solid. Elder Stiff kills the cooking game. Which is super nice for me because he enjoys cooking, and I just get to do the little things to help out. 😜 We tracted this street that night and got 2 solid investigators on the first 2 houses we knocked. Heck ya. They were both boys about our age, one of them plays loads of football so we are going to try to get a game going with him. So that was some solid.
Sunday was great! It was actually really exciting to me to kind of get a fresh start with members. At the beginning of my mission I was still super nervous about things, and didn't really go out of my way to interact with members. So I was just trying to get to know as many as I could which went really well actually. (: so church was great. We did some finding and eating that afternoon and that about it.

All in all this has been a solid week! I am so looking forward to this transfer and the new opportunities with district leader and such. It's so nice being companions with Elder Stiff, because we can laugh and have a good time, get along great, while working hard. And we both are
really trying to be as obedient as possible so things are going great!
I love this gospel so much. I love the Book of Mormon and the power I get from reading it each day. Anyone who is struggling, daily study of the Book of Mormon will get you back on track. There really is power in the Book. Love you all have a great week!
