| Yooooooo a bunch of my group for the 8 month squad on the history tour. True homies. (: |
Monday! Monday we visited Chester cathedral, it was pretty fun to go back, I went there on a p day during my second transfer while in Rhyl. It was good times hanging with the boys. After that we just chilled at the chapel, playing some ping pong and emailing and what not. Good times. (: that night we had a couple appointments that fell through, but we were able to set up a couple appointments with investigators so that will hopefully go well. (:
Tuesday! We had a zone meeting in my birthplace of Rhyl. 😎 it was so great to see a bunch of homies. Particularly elder Jensen and elder Humphries. Legends them 2. (: so much fun, and we had such a great and spirit filled zone meeting as well. Good to catch up with everybody. We traveled for ages on buses after that and cruised on over to the bus depot, because we lost our phone on a bus the day before. 😶 luckily they had it. (: we did some stuff that night... I can't remember what...

Wednesday! We had 3 appointments scattered throughout the day that all fell through. One of them was with that man I talked about last week mike. Half hour bus ride then half hour walk out to his house. His Book of Mormon was on his porch with a note saying never come back. Gotta love that. 😜 So we did a lot of finding that day, and were able to meet one super solid lady named Rita. She had problems with religion mostly because a lot of people just treat it as a Sunday only thing. She loved what we said about it being a lifestyle and a commitment. She then asked a beautiful question, "if there's only one Jesus why is there so many churches?". We were like ahhhhh yeah well tell you that. 😎 haha. (: she was great. That night we were trying by some people and finished up a bit early before ward coordination. We were like let's go try by this former investigator named Dee. We rocked up to her house and there was the sisters teaching her on her doorstep. Stealing our investigators. 😜 haha it was pretty funny, and I wasn't bothered. It's all the Lords work. (:
Thursday we planned some weekly planneringers. After that we tracted a bunch of this area called upper Aston. Our good friend Dave told us he's felt for years that missionaries should tract up there. So we've been smashing out some streets for the past little while. We finally met these 2 super nice dudes, Sebi and Selee from Romania! They were hilarious and super nice and interested. One of them spoke better English than the other so we gave him a Book of Mormon, and have been trying to find a Hungarian Book of Mormon for the other. (Not sure why he is Romanian but speaks Hungarian) they were great. We will be seeing them tomorrow. (: we saw Dave for a bit and then had tea with the Quick family. It was real good. (: we tracted some more that night with no luck.

Friday! We quickly helped out some members that morning out in a pretty faraway town. They came and picked us up cause it's out in the middle of nowhere. They were dropping us off after in a city named Mold and I noticed a mans house who we hadn't taught anything but he had told us we could come back. So me and elder Stiff bumped on over there and ended up having a super great lesson with him. It was perfect timing because he expressed he's been feeling like he wants religion to have more presence in his life so he doesn't get blown about by the adversary. So that was great. (: His name is Vince and we will see him next week sometime I think. The rest of the day was pretty slow. We traveled really far to Upton, to try by a media referral from Luanda. We just caught him in and he told us to come back on an evening. So hopefully we'll be able to see him soon as well. (:
Saturday morning we had a lesson a former investigator, who isn't interested in anything really, so he will stay a former investigator. Good man though. (: The traffic was crazy on Saturday because it was a super nice day, so buses took ages. I met a super nice dude on the bus named Dave. We just talked for a while then before he had to get off quick talked about the Book of Mormon. He took one and gave me his number so hopefully we'll be able to meet up with him sometime this week. (: We had a really good lesson with a man named John that night. We had this really great lesson planned for him, but when we got in there we were just not feeling that lesson at all. It was weird because the spirit said not to teach that, but didn't tell us what to teach haha. I opened the Book of Mormon to one of my favorite chapters Alma 7 and so we used that. It ended up with a really strong spirit so that was some real good stuff. (: It seemed to resonate with him. Interesting how the spirit works sometimes. (:
Sunday we had church then traveled down to Chorley for a sleepover. We had to go because we had a big meeting thing this morning. We got to see the temple for a moment which was pretty dope. There was 10 elders in this tiny little flat. One bathroom. It was madness to say the least. It was a good time. (:

| History tour. |
Today has been so solid! We had the mission history tour. It was south zones today and tomorrow is the north zones. It was so much stinking fun! South zones has loads of people from my group and it was a blast. It was our 8 month mark so we took a quality picture of all the people in our group in the south zones. It was so fun all day just hanging out with loads of good friends visiting the quality history of our mission. (:
Well the work has been super slow lately. Basically since I got here. It can be frustrating at times, but we are trying to keep a positive attitude about it, and know that the lord is trying to help us become better missionaries. So there's not a lot going on, but I got a couple tender mercies this week which were most enjoyable. I learned that a couple people I had tracted into in Rhyl have been tracted into again and are being taught. Elder Jensen told me that my boy Rob from the spar in Rhyl is doing great and has a lot of real intent, progressing well. (: still a true homie as well. So it was really nice for me to see some of my work in Rhyl continuing on. Missionaries don't often get to see the results from their efforts. 99% of the time we don't, so that was really nice for me. (: I also talked to the true dad elder Korth on the phone. Then got to talk to my main man elder Cepeda on the phone as well. So good to talk to them, nice and uplifting. (: so it's been great!
We keep on pressing on! I love this work, and I love my savior Jesus Christ. I am so grateful to be called to declare his word. Love you all! Have a great week! (:
