Snu

(Last week's letter--written on December 11, 2017)

Hey all! It’s been a pretty slick week! There’s not a whole lot to report though... we’ve done a butt ton of finding and we managed to find one potential investigator!😄  so that’s pretty dope! His name's Mike and he is some sort of Christian, but when we explained priesthood authority for him it really seemed to sink in and make a good impact. So that’s good! Hopefully gonna see him gain soon. 

There’s also this part member family, where the mom has kinda been grumpy towards missionaries for a couple years. Not sure why. So we bought a buncha biscuits and dropped by and she let us in! So that was great. Nailed it. The mom like loved us too after we did that. Biscuit power. Also for my American peeps biscuits is cookies. Hopefully gonna start teaching her son, he’s a bro.

We taught Alex a couple times this week. We’ve slowed down how often we teach him because he's kinda at a standstill, but we still see him fairly regularly. We have an official cease fire on the air soft guns which has been blissful. I still have little circular bruises all over my legs. We're praying for a miracle with him. He gonna get there eventually. Good lad. 


Church was cancelled! Haha classic Wales, gets like a couple inches of snow, cancels church. Our ward mission leader was a bro though and got permission to do the sacrament so we went over and had the sacrament with him then he fed us.  We did like a finity tracting in the snow and froze our butts off. Didn’t find anyone but had a real good time. Also took a quick ten minutes and made a dope snowman. ✌


Elder Arrington was mega sick on Saturday so we called mission presidents wife and stayed in the flat. To be honest it was really nice. I studied like all day. It was really nice and relaxing, but when we got out the flat I was rip roarin ready to go.😜  one day of sickness flat staying was plenty. 

We’ve still been seeing Tom, that less active from Finland. He’s still a major bro. Good ole t dub.  



That’s about it! We’re workin hard and praying for miracles! Sometimes Gods timetable isn’t the same as our own, but we just need to do our bit.  Here’s a dank scripture for a little spiritual thought, John 14:27 
“Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.”
I love this scripture. Things of the world don’t really have that much to offer. But Christ offers us peace. He will give us that peace, we just need to follow Him. Sometimes we might need to slow down to recognize it. I like the story of Elijah not finding the voice of the lord in the wind, or in the earthquake, or in the fire, but in a still small voice. If we pray and ask god, he will bless us with that peace! We just need to listen to that still small, loving voice. 

I love you all! Have an excellent week!-
elder ya boi
