Hey all! It has been one killer week. My new comp Elder Godfrey, what a legend. He's in Elder Stiff's group so he's been out for about 5 months. Great man, he's here to work hard, he's got his priorities set straight, and knows why he's out here. So that's good stuff. (:

Monday was pretty killer. We hit up the mini golf place for the last day with the boys. It was a good time. Did some shopping and I got a dank new tie. My fav tie of all time. So I was pretty pumped about that. That night the Mounchers had us over for tea. It was good to hang with them for a bit, they are such a great family. After that me and Elder Stiff bumped on over to the man himself Dave. We had such a nice time with him. The three of us seriously got so close. Dave expressed to us some stuff he was struggling with and we were able to share some stuff that really helped him. The spirit was so strong. I love moments like that. Dave was sad to see elder Stiff go. It was a nice night.

| Dave. Legend. |
Tuesday morning we hit up Maccy's brekky. (translation: McDonald's for breakfast) 'Twas good. Then we drove with the zone leaders over to Manchester. We went to the delivery elders flat to drop stiff off. We chilled with them for a bit. Elder Stiff is companions with Elder Cowdrey now as the delivery elders. Elder Cowdrey. What a legend. That delivery elder life looks pretty killer. 😜 then me and Elders Van Dyken cruised over to pick up Elder Beck and drop off Elder Van Dyken. It was super sad to see Elder Stiff and Van Dyken go. We had such good times together. Then we cruised on over and picked up my comp elder Godfrey. I saw Elder Korth as well! So nice to see him. He's a legend. We cruised on back to Chester, did some shopping, then did some missionary work. Got dropped by a couple of people so that's fun. 😜
Wednesday! We got to see Sergio again! Super good kid. He loves to ask all the hard questions. 😜 Haha we spent the whole time sharing our testimonies and answering his questions. Haha so that was really good. We also saw Luke for a bit one of our investigators. There wasn't really anything else eventful that day. We had ward coordination that night which was good.

Haha At first this week elder Godfrey wasn't quite sure what to make of me hahaha, his last companion was pretty straight laced no jokes sorta dude, and here's me who's not quite so serious. But we're bros already and elder Godfrey is really funny. So it's been nothin but good times. 😎

| At it again. |
Thursday! Weekly planning that morning. I despise weekly planning. Haha just wanna get outta the flat and go do stuff. Oh well I managed to get through it though. 😜 that afternoon we hit up Penyfordd to try by a couple of people. We were tracting by this less actives house and we met this man who was very much not interested. We talked for a couple minutes but it was obvious that he wasn't interested. He was like oh you should talk to my son, so he was like James get over here
and talk to these Jesus Christ people. Haha this 9 year old kid came over and so we started talking to him about spongebob (my fav show) and stuff. Then we started talking about gospel stuff. Elder Godfrey was like what's your favorite bible story? James was like hmmm... when Jesus gets baptised! Haha we were like heck yeah, asked him if he wanted to get baptised. He was super excited and was nodding his head loads. His dad said they were going to get him christened but the pastor wouldn't let James because his parents didn't believe in god. We were like he can get baptised at our church. James said he wanted to. 😂 haha so we haven't been able to see him since then but we've got a 9 year old friend now who really wants to get baptised. That's what I'm talking about. (:
We met a dude named Connor who was interested and invited us to come back and to talk to him and his girlfriend. So that's solid as well. We met a super funny member who hasn't been able to make it out to church as of late. Her name is Pauline. We talked to her on her doorstep for a while. Haha she was hilarious. I said Uchtdorf in a scouse accent and she was laughing for like a solid 5 minute. If you want to hear the scouse accent look it up on YouTube, scouser saying chicken, or something along those lines. It's hilarious. (:

| Throwback to the good ole days |

| Enjoying the sunshine.😎 |
Friday. Julie the lady who came to church dropped us. That was really lame. We were going out to an investigators house that morning, it was a super long walk. We were just cruising along, enjoying the sunshine when there was this dude walking towards us and I knew I should talk to him. So I started talking to him. He was a super nice dude, really deep thinker, we ended up talking for about an hour, we shared so much with him and there was a really strong spirit the entire time. It was so solid. It was really refreshing to meet Dale. He was seriously so good. He ate up everything we told him. We are seeing him Wednesday. A problem so many missionaries have is people not following through with their appointments then you never see them again. I was really excited about Dale and really didn't want him to be another one that just drops off the planet so I fasted for him. Fasted that he wouldn't change his mind, and that we'd be able to meet with him. I'm really hoping our appointment on Wednesday actually happens.

Saturday! Saturday we cruised on over to Southport because Elder Godfrey was having a baptism there. It was such a nice service. I got to see elder Schoonover from my group. He's a legend as well. That afternoon the weather was so nice. Very much enjoyable. We saw Doreen which was hilarious as usual then we cruised on over and had tea with Dave. Dave is seriously one of my fav people. We did some service for him after tea.
Sunday was great! Martin came to church, and we had quite a few less active families we've been working with come out to church. So it was a good day. (: Sunday afternoon we had a couple appointments fall through and there wasn't really anything else eventful.
So yeah! There's my week! Elder Godfrey is pretty sick. I'm looking forward to this transfer. Love you all!
-Elder Edwards
