Birthdayin, golfin

Hey everyone! Been a pretty killer week over here in Wales. (: Last Monday we cruised on down to Rhyl and fixed up their bikes down there. Then we cruised on over to the bus station and learned we weren't even allowed to take bikes on the buses. /: so we left them in Rhyl haha. Then for the last little bit of p day we went and had tea with Sian and Rob in Mostyn! My 2 fav people in the UK. (: Sian fed us a delicious curry. So good to see them again. (:

Tuesday was district meeting. It was pretty good, we talked a lot about obtaining the spirit and following the promptings of the spirit. I enjoyed it. After that we had exchanges with the zone leaders. It was ultimately solid. I went with Elder Kitchen and we had a great time. Did lots of finding and were able to find a couple new people who were interested. Elder Kitchen is a good man, I really enjoyed the exchange. There was this house that has Elvis literally everywhere. They let us step in and look in the living room, where there was a couple massive Elvis statues, and just posters and records everywhere. Haha it was pretty mad. And dope. (: That night after we went in we had a fire on their back patio. It was really fun. Made some s'mores out of digestive biscuits. They were dang good. 😎 it was so nice to chill for a bit around the fire, super refreshing to the soul. (:


Wednesday we finished up our exchange, then Dave drove me and Elder Stiff out to Halkyn. We tracted all afternoon with NOTHING. Haha we decided to start tracting out a bit into the more countryside part of it where the houses are like 3 football fields away from each other. We met this man named Ken! He was super super solid. We talked for a while about the Restoration. Him and his wife have been going to loads of different churches for ages. Ken was so great and took a Book of Mormon. We are going back tomorrow... not sure exactly how we're going to get there haha. (: Dave picked us up then we went to a carvery and snagged some food. Dave is a homie. (: the rest of the night was just ward coordination.

Thursday we had weekly planning. ''Twas good". Not a lot to say about it. 😜 that afternoon we hit up Blacon and tried by some people and did some tracting. It was pretty good. We were able to talk to this lady Sadie who we met ages ago but never were able to get in contact. She was super solid still! She said she drove by the church and thought of us. She is so nice, and really wants to come to church. (: it'll be good to see her there. That night we had an appointment with a man named Mike. We met him in Flint but he lives in Buckley. He told us the name of his house. Lots of places here the houses have names and no numbers which makes it really hard to find a house. The street he lived on was ages long. So we walked all the way down it looking for the house pylpoxl. 45 minutes of walking looking for this stinkin house. Then we walked all the way back up the road looking for it. Needless to say we never found the house and missed our appointment. 😐 so that was pretty dumb haha.


Friday was super slow. Nobody was interested and nobody we tried by was in. Our appointments that day fell through as well. We were knocking one door and talking to a lady when all a sudden a wild man started screaming at us from the street, telling us not to knock and don't talk to this lady. So the conversation was cut short. The man was swearing at us like crazy and trying to hit us with his bike. Good stuff. 😁

Saturday. We went to Chester and tried by a former investigator James. He was super nice and we talked for a while. We are going back there tonight. Super nice dude. We saw a couple less active members which went good. We were waiting for our bus when a random dude stopped and offered us a lift. We hopped in. His name was Scott and he was super nice. We talked for a while and got his number and are going to go over some time. (: Saturday night was pretty slow.


Sunday was Elder Stiff's birthday! We weren't expecting any investigators coming to church but right as it was about to start we saw Julie who we taught last week! And she brought one of her friends! It was so solid! It was fast and testimony meeting and talking to Julie and Louise afterwards they loved it! It was so great. They just said they felt so good and relaxed and peaceful. Solid. (: a lot of people bore testimony on the Book of Mormon, and afterwards I gave one to Louise because it was the first time we'd met her. She was like oh this is what everyone was talking about! It was so great to have them there. That night we had tea with the Santos family and they fed us a Phillipino meal. Chicken Adobe. It was stinking good. When we got to the flat last night we burned some cake for a birthday candle and ate some cake for Elder Stiffs birthday. It was a good time. (:

This morning we bought some 3 pound golf clubs then went to the driving range. Haha it was pretty fun. I broke my club. The club head went further then the ball did hahaha. Good times. (: that's my week! 

Love you all and have a good one!
