Finish

(written July 17, 2018)

Hey! Well the time has come. My last email as a missionary. Mad. But! We have had an excellent week. I got to say goodbye to a lot of people who I have really grown to love, which was sad, but nice to have met them and become friends. (: I love this place and I sure am going to miss it. Wales is home for me now, It is going to be sad to leave.

I will keep this brief, but these sure have been a good 2 years. I have learned a lot, experienced a lot. The thing I am the most grateful for from being here is what I have learned about my Savior. I really know he lives. And I know without a doubt that he loves us. I have had to rely on him so much. I would not have made it through my mission if it weren’t for his grace. I’m so grateful to my Savior, and it has been such a privilege to share his gospel with others. I love this scripture in Phillipians that says “I can do all things through Christ which strengthens me.” I love that.

And that is my simple testimony that we can do all things through Christ. He will take our inadequacy, he will take our weakness, and will make so much more out of us than we could ever be on our own. He is my best friend. 

I love you all. And I’ll see some of you soon. (:

Love, Elder Dallen Edwards

Snowdon

 (written June 25, 2018)

Hey all! It’s been a pretty great week! Last week for p day we hiked a pretty famous mountain in Wales called Snowdon. It was a good time! It was chuckin it down, so we got absolutely soaked. It was super fun though. We went with some mates of mine from Colwyn Bay ward. We’re actually hiking it again today! We wanna do it when there’s good weather so we can get them good views. It’s going to be a good time. (: 

Top of Snowdon

Yeah our weeks been pretty good! We’ve found a couple people who’ve invited us back which was good. We had a j dub bash us. Somehow he told me that because my country fought against hitler in world war 2 our religion is false. Not sure how he worked that one out. 

 

We also had a super cool experience this week! I’d been praying for a miracle, and we met this lady Lanie! She told us she wasn’t really interested and was going to close the door, but then I asked why she wasn’t interested. She then told us she had lost her faith mainly because everything was all about the bible and Israel and she felt like god should associate with his other countries as well. I was like he he, blamo! Check out our Book of Mormon! A record of gods dealings with the people in America! She was like woah this is a major curveball! She was super super interested. I opened up to 2 nephi 29 and read verse 7 which goes “Know ye not that there are more nations than one? Know ye not that I, the Lord your God, have created all men, and that I remember those who are upon the isles of the sea; and that I rule in the heavens above and in the earth beneath; and I bring forth my word unto the children of men, yea, even upon all the nations of the earth?”. She really felt the spirit and she was like you might just make me a believer again. So that was a super cool experience. It’s been a while since we’ve met somebody who was proper prepared so that was great. We’re really hoping and praying she’ll want to learn more! God is good, and he speaks to more nations then just one, cuz he loves us all. (: 

Also had my final zone conference. That was kinda weird. Gave my departing testimony. Never thought I’d be at this point. Trying to make the most of these last three weeks! Well that’s me! Love you all!

New Comp

(written June 11, 2018)

Hey all! It’s been a pretty dope week. I’ll see if I can think of some stuff we did.

My new comp is elder Murphy! He is a legend. He is well funny and we get along real good. It’s been a really good time so far. He is from Huddersfield, England and has a pretty dope accent. It’s funny when people think he’s from Utah haha. But yeah good times so far. Good last comp.

(video of Elder Farmer Edwards)

We met a man this week who has Marilyn Monroe appear to him in his house on a fairly regular basis. That was interesting. Nice man though. (: we did loooooads of finding this week, and we’re able to find a couple people who invited us back. Twas a good time. We’ll be seeing them this week. Oh! There was this super solid man named Mark! So we’ve been seeing him around town for a while and last time we saw him I gave him a Book of Mormon. Then we saw him on Friday and he was like I’ve been reading your book, then he started asking about the church of god and the church of the devil, from nephi 13 I think it is. So that was well solid. We’re seeing him this week and will teach the restoration. He’s hilarious he always says goodbye by saying “I hope you convert a beautiful blonde so you can marry her”

   

good ole people of Rhyl. Always an adventure.

The birthday was good, got to have tea with Sian and Rob which was pretty bomb. They are the best.
But yeah! I think that’s about it! Here’s a quote I like from ya boy C S Lewis:

“God made us: invented us as a man invents an engine. A car is made to run on petrol, and it would not run properly on anything else. Now God designed the human machine to run on himself. He himself is the fuel our spirits were designed to burn, or the food our spirits were designed to feed on. There is no other. That is why it is just no good asking God to make us happy in our own way without bothering about religion. God cannot give us happiness and peace apart from himself, because it is not there. There is no such thing.”

I really like that, and I know that principle is true. God is the only way to find true and lasting happiness. And he wants us to be happy. He wants us to be happy forever and spend eternity with our family. And all He asks is for us to follow him. (: well I love you all! Have a great week!

The fer of trans

Hey all! Been a pretty sick week here in Rhyl. We started off the week by cruising down to Chester for an exchange with Elder Allan and Elder Anderson. It was an excellent time. Got to see my homie in Chester which is always a good time. He had me shoot him in the leg with a blowgun. The man didn’t even blink when the dart hit him. Legendary.

But yeah the exchange was a good time, did hecka street contacting which was a good time. Me and elder Allan were cleaning the baptismal font for a baptism in Chester on the weekend and so we were using all sorts of chemicals to try and get this thing clean cause it was looking pretty grim. We didn’t think about the fact that we loaded this place up with so many chemicals in the air and it was a tiny little space. Needless to say we felt pretty crap afterward. Take Care with chemicals kids. 

We had a lot of good and enjoyable spiritual tea appointments with members this week. Lately we’ve been using the first Vision video and then afterwards we ask them how the restoration of the gospel has blessed their life. The restored gospel has most definitely blessed me. It has given me a sound knowledge of the savior and his earthly mission to atone for our sins, and only in the restored gospel do we have full access to that atonement. Through baptism and then sacrament weekly. It’s a wonderful thing, and I will forever be grateful to have been born in this church. (: I’ve really enjoyed hearing from the members the blessings they have from being in the church. So good. Lovin it.

We had a great visit with some people Elder Godfrey has been teaching here for a while. They are just the best little family. They said they were going to come to church, but then they texted us and dropped us. ): lame. All goods though, still pushing forward. 

Hmmmm.... what else.... oh last night was so killer. We took our homies Rob and Kieran to a fireside in Ashton. It’s where loads of people who recently were baptised speak and share their stories. Ya boys were laughing throughout it so we were worried they weren’t getting anything out of it. But afterwards Kieran really opened up and was like yes boys that was great. I’m excited for him. He’s a g.

Well for transfers! I’ll be staying here in Rhyl for my last transfer! 

So nuts to be on my last transfer. Mental. Elder godfrey will be going to Burnley. It’s been good serving with the lad. Twill be missed. The missionary to be killing me is elder Murphy. Funnily enough elder godfrey trained him. I’ve heard he’s a good lad, so I’m pretty excited about it. Well that’s me! Love you all!

Because yourself is a beautiful thing to be

(written May 28, 2018)

Eyyyyyyyyyyy! Sorry I’ve been so crap at emailing lately... it’s been some good weeks tho. Well sick.

Couple highlights. I found a little girls scooter in the rubbish bin, so I was shreddin. Scoot life all day boyyyy. Included a little video:

We did like a thousand street contacting and tracting this week. We was goin ham. Met some nice people which is always nice. (: one of Sian and Robs cats just had kittens and they are the cutest things of all time. The four of em we’re just going ham fightin each other. It was one of the greatest 10 minutes of my young life.

I had like one of the best nights on my mission on Tuesday. There’s this band I love called the Nashville tribute band. Soooooo good. But so they came down and preformed for our mish. We took my main man Rob Spar, and my American brudda Dave drove us down. And it was just the most glorious night of all time. I’ve never laughed so much in my life. Rob and Dave really enjoyed it and felt a nice spirit, so it Twas a good night.

We had an excellent visit with one of my good friends this week. He was having a hard time and we just ended up talking about the simple truth that God loves him. 

I’ve gained a strong testimony of Gods love for his children. 

And especially God loving them for who they are. We are all so special, and sometimes it’s tough for us to see that. But I know that God always sees that. When God was creating us, he didn’t use a cookie cutter. We’re all quite different, and I think that is the greatest thing. God loves us because we’re his kids. (: so be yourself, because yourself is a beautiful thing to be. And with Gods help you can grow into the most excellent version of yourself. 

Well, I love you all. Be excellent to each other. (:

Much work, much shenanigans, much pocket naan

(Written May 7, 2018)

Hey all! This week has been pretty dope. A couple things we're excited about:

Andrea! She’s super solid! She wants to get baptised! We’re seeing her tomorrow! Solid!

We met this dude one night named Steve Moroney. Haha we were showing him Moroni 10:3-5 and he was like hey that’s my surname. Haha pretty cool. Steve is super great, we had a great chat with him. He’s looking for purpose in life. So yeah.

There’s a bunch of other stuff but my brain is pretty out of it. It’s been a good week of working and having fun! I’ll include some vids of some shenanigans. (see below) 

Love you all! Have an excellent weeK!

Love, elder Edwards

Tag teaming with the j dubs

(Written April 30, 2018)

my place

Hey all! This has been a killer week. One night we were visiting these people Yasmin and Beth and their dog is a nutter. It hates my guts and this dog is absolutely terrifying. Well he almost bit me right in between the legs. I was so scared for my life. Most terrifying experience of a life time. 

We had a slick exchange this week with my man Santos. He’s in my group, and it was a well fun exchange. We got some stuff done and had a well good time. While with him, we had an appointment with our man Petross. When we got there Petross was like super sorry but I had some visitors come in unexpected. We were like oh no worries we can come around another time. Then he was like nah just come in. We came in and there sat 2 Jehovahs Witnesses. haha it was well awkward and well funny as well. We made some nice small talk with the witnesses then they gave us a quick lecture on some doctrine then they bounced. We then talked to Petross. Haha it was crazy, never thought that would happen.

  

I didn't want to wait till I got home to eat my pizza,
and my comps were raging at me for trying to
feed the seagulls.

We found loads of new people this week! I’m well stoked! Especially this dude we met Brandon. We got on super well and he’s a G. We’ve got a stacked week this week so hopefully all goes well. Got to see Sian and Rob as well! Chuffed about that. 😄 I’ve missed Sians cooking. lol.

Transfers! Me and ya boy godfrey are staying here in Rhyl. I’m well pumped. Elder effah is bouncing, I’ll miss him it’s been well fun. Super good lad. This transfer with elder godfrey is gonna be lit. We’re gonna go ham. 

the old flat

I was thinking about a quote my brother sauced to me at the beginning of my mission... it goes “to be interested in the changing of seasons is a much better state of mind then to be hopelessly in love with spring.” Not sure who it’s by. But it’s well good. I really like it. It’s kinda like those scriptures in eccliastes (spelled wrong) 3. Check it out. To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heavens. It talks about how there’s a time to build up, and a time to break down. A time to laugh, and a time to mourn. We’ve all got times when we’re just cruising through life no worries. Then we’ve all got times when everything is just trickin us in the gin. When it feels like the whole world is against us. But I really know that God has his hand in the details of our life, and he’s got a nice little plan for each one of us. We will never go unnoticed and will never be abandoned. Sometimes winter might feel quite long (metaphorically speaking for hard times, winter is the best season lol) but spring will always come. I just really really know that god loves us, and that even though sometimes we’re going through the ringer, there’s always light at the end of the tunnel. (: God is the man. Hope that little thought made any sense at all. My brain is pretty scrambled rn. But I love you all! Have an excellent week!

Rhyl Deal

(Written April 23, 2018)

Hey all! Sorry it’s been so long since I wrote an update. I’m running out of time so I’ll suss out a quick one for ya. 

This week has been sick! I’m in RHYL! My first area!!! So there was some new missionaries coming in mid transfer and president needed to sauce a couple people around and I ended up here in Rhyl. And I am so stoked out of my mind. I’m in a trio. I’m with my boy elder Godfrey! We served together a year ago, and I’m legit so pumped to be serving with him again. He is such a G. Proper legend. It’s been so good so far. I’m with elder Effah as well, a super nice dude from Ghana. He’s great, we nutmeg each other with rocks all day, I even nut megged him with a binky one day which was sick. 

Elder Effah got pooped on by a Seagull.

A couple highlights! We taught a girl named Jess and it went super good! We focused a lot on who Heavenly Father is and how we can come to know him through prayer. It was great. I saw Sian and Rob!! Oh man love them so much. They are the greatest! I also saw my man big Dave while cruising through Chester on the way here. 

Elder Effah got pooped on by a Seagull. A different day, elder Godfrey laughed so hard he got a bloody nose. One night there was some kids jumping on a tramp so I was talking to them, then gave the tramp a go. I did a double backie to face landing and broke my badge. (see video below) It was pretty sick. 

But yeah! Out of time! I love you all so much and I’ll send a proper update next week! Party on dudes!

Love, elder Edwards

Dallen Edwards - Bus Seat Checker Extraordinaire

(written March 26, 2018)

Hey all! It has been the dopest of weeks. It’s been well good. I’ll see if I can sauce up some highlights for yall.

For the first time in my life, I slipped and fell in the shower. It was pretty funny. I wasn’t sure if I should laugh, be embarrassed, or mourn over my aching left bum cheek. I chose the first option.

Nailed it.

 
We didn’t have anyone get angry at us this week, which was unusual. And we actually met a whole load of nice people who actually wanted to talk to us! Sweet hallelujah! It was great, one in particular was super good, her name is Rebekah and she was well interested in learning more. Another lady thinks all churches are a bit wrong, so we taught some restoration and we’re like here check this book. Another dude was a big stoner so we’ll see how it is when we meet with him. 

😂

Yep.

Another man hasn’t found a church he likes but is a big time Christian! He wants to come and check out ours. So yeah! It’s been dope! We prayin hard that at least one of those people we will see again and be able to start teaching. (:

Mikaelas still doing good, she went to the temple again this week, and loved it again.
I went on an exchange with an elder named Arias. It was aight. We worked hard and found some peeps. 

Temple

Trying to think of any other funny things this week... ... ... ... those dots are me thinking for like 5 minutes... sorry. Got nothin. ): 

Yesterday, I thought about forgiveness. It’s a tough one to do sometimes. There’s a quote I love that says, when you hold a grudge your only poisoning yourself. It’s so true. It comes from the churches addiction recovery vids. But yeah forgiveness. We all mess up, we all do stupid things, but we’re all trying. I sure know I’ve messed up and said stupid things to my friends in the past. I’ve also done stupid things that my Heavenly Father probably was a bit sad about. But I’m so grateful that they are Christlike people and are able to forgive me. I’m also grateful that the Lord has helped me when I’ve needed to forgive somebody. And I’m so grateful that Heavenly Father has forgiven me and continues to do so. Life can smack ya down sometimes, friends can smack ya down sometimes, heck even church members or leaders can smack ya down sometimes. But the big man upstairs doesn’t smack us down. He’s there to pick you up. And help you forgive and forget. He loves all of his children, and all of his children mess up. When somebody hurts you, it’s gonna be tough to forgive. But the lord will help you. And it will be freeing for you. But yeah, I think that is the end of my rant. 

I sure love all you people. Be excellent to each other. And party on dudes!

I walked right past the love of my life in the street.😍

How we hang

Hey all! It’s been a pretty good week. We found quite a few people which was dope, most of them bailed out when we came around again for a return appointment. All goods though. We got threatened by this one dude. We were tracting and he started raging at us, “get the F off this porch before you get hurt”. Things of that nature. He was a good lad. (: 

Oh also. The worst thing happened. Me and elder t got on a bus and saw something really really gross on a seat. I won’t say what it was. But it was mingin. I hate public transport haha. I always check my seat like a thousand times before sitting. But yeah so we were chillin talking, then all a sudden a lady sat right on that seat with the gross thing on it. We didn’t even have the chance to warn her. We just looked at each other with horror on our faces. That poor lady. Rip. Always check before you sit my friends.

We went to the temple with Mikaela and it was amazing!!! Ah man I loved it so much. We did the baptisms for about sixty of mikaela’s ancestors and it was just so great. The spirit was super strong. Mikaela loved it too, and was so happy. It was an excellent day. The temple truly is the house of god.

Thaaats about it! Transfers came round, and me and elder t will be staying here in Blackpool. Should be good. Our whole district is staying together actually which is pretty crazy, first time that’s happened to me. How neat is that? That’s pretty neat. 

Well I love you all and hope you have a great week!

Hey all!

(written March 12, 2018)

You may not see the video at the end of the blog via email. You can see it by opening the blog.

This was a pretty slow week but I’ll try to think of something to tell ya.

One morning we went for a run. I was coming around a corner, then outta nowhere a Wild dude on a bike appeared and ran right into me. That was pretty dope. I think the kid was kinda surprised cause the first thing I said was “you ok mate?” Haha. 

Later that day there was this crazy 14 year old girl on the bus who put gum in my hair. She was sitting behind me and literally just stuck it in. I wasn’t too stoked about that. The kids in this country can be kinda crazy. 

Work wise, all the people we found in the last couple weeks that seemed real promising, have kinda bounced out. All goods though. We have been teaching Mikaela the new member lessons this past week. She is the best. Funny story. One night we were playing 2 truths and a lie. It was Mikaela's turn to go. She was sitting there thinking then all a sudden jumped up and said excitedly “I used to be a man!” Haha I was laughing so hard. Luckily that was the lie though. 

😅 

She got her temple recommend and we will be going to the temple with her to do baptisms! We are pretty stoked about it, but not nearly as much as she is. Haha she is amazing, she literally does family history all day long. Crazy. I think I would get hecka bored. 

Had a dank exchange with my boy elder Leishman. We had a real good time, we’ve been out for about the same time but never served around each other till now, so it was a good time. What a G.

But yeah! Been a good week! Love you all and hope you have a good week!

Spicy man

(written March 5, 2018)

Can I just say I love non native English speakers? Elder T’s English is so funny sometimes. His English is well good. But this week I was telling him how I have acquired a taste for spicy food while on my mission, I never used to like it. Then he was like “oh my trainer is the same way! He started really liking spicy food on his mission. He is a spicy man.” Oh my days I died laughing. Well funny. T-rock is the man. (: we’re having some good times, and workin some hard.

I ate a ridiculous amount of chicken and chips.
Finished strong with ice cream too.

We’ve still been seeing Mikaela fairly regularly. She is so great. Funniest lady. Not sure if I have any funny quotes from her this week. Sorry. /: 

We hit up Blackpool zoo with her on p day. Twas pretty fun. I was looking at the bunnies and there was this black bunny and a white bunny that were always hanging out together. It reminded me of when me and Charles were companions. #yinandyang

Me and radman

We had a dank first lesson with a dank lady named Dawn. It was great. We taught her the restoration and she really seemed to enjoy it and accept it. She’s been church hopping for the past couple years, cause she never finds one that she feels comfortable at. They all feel like they are missing something. He he he. Come to ours we have the priesthood. It’s great when people are prepared. She texted us this morning and cancelled though, so hopefully she’s still interested in learning more. 

We found some other new peeps this week. They’re pretty cool too. 

Me and Genie

That’s about it. Oh yeah, we had an all you can eat buffet, and I ate some really rubbish food. Lots of time on the toilet. So that was fun. 

There was also this sign on a rubbish bin that said people need to bag and bin their dog. Seems pretty messed up to me to put your dog in a bag and throw it in the rubbish bin. I guess Whatever floats your boat Blackpool.

Bag and bin your dog

*flawless transition to spiritual stuff*

I love this gospel. I’ve really come to know that Christ lives, and he really did suffer for our sins. It’s incredible what we can do/overcome by turning to Christ. He’s my best friend. He’s helped me through my rough times, and I love sharing with other people that he’s going to help them through their rough times as well. He lives. He loves us. A whole stinkin lot. So keep pressing on my friends. Keep putting your trust in the man that will never fail you. Have an excellent week, you excellent people. Love yall. (:

Love, Eduardo

B aptism

(written February 26, 2018)

Hey! Prolly gonna be a quick email today, but Mikaela got baptised! It was a happy day. (: 

Haha it was funny we went to a Chinese buffet with her on Wednesday, and we were talking about her baptism. She’s always joking about dying right after her baptism so she can go straight to the celestial kingdom. Well this time she was joking about wanting to get baptised in Loch Ness. I was like “hey then the Loch Ness monster could eat you right after so you’d go to the celestial kingdom!” She was like “ahhh no way! Then you could give the Holy Ghost to Nessie and I’d be sorted!” Haha I died laughing at that. It was well funny. (: 

Then the baptism went excellently. She was super nervous, all week long she was worried and thinking she wouldn’t feel forgiven. But it was such a nice reminder to me, cause after it we asked her how she felt, “completely clean”. (: baptism is such a special thing. She’s been living with guilt for so long and she’s finally free from it. (: so yeah. It was excellent. 

Haha it was hilarious she was in the font about to be baptised then she shouted “stop! Give me 2 seconds! My bank card!” Haha she halted the baptism because she had money and her bank card in her... well... bra. Women these days.😜everyone got a good laugh out of that though. She’s the funniest lady. (: 

my boy elder Jensen came to the baptism cause he was the companion of elder Adams who first started teaching Mikaela. Good to see that dude. Also we Skyped elder Morgan cause he taught Mikaela and got some funny pics. I’ll send em. Well hey I love you all and hope yous have some solid weeks!

Weird cucumber things

(written February 19, 2018)

Chapel

Hey all! It has been another pretty dope as week. I’ll tell ya about it. By the way Intros to emails are the worst.

We had the neatest experience this week! We tried by this member of the church (hasn’t been in quite some time), but she didn’t want to talk so we were tracting the doors next to her house. And we met this Jewish man named Rock! Oh my days. So flipping prepared. Unlike other Jews he actually believes in Christ. We taught him the whole restoration just by answering his questions. He took a Book and a restoration pamphlet. He then said “you know, 2 days ago I asked god for further knowledge. And 2 days later you two showed up with exactly that.” It was amazing! Haha such a cool experience. He was one of those ones that don’t really want to set up an appointment, but he said we can pop by any time and just hope that he’s in.

Our fresh new style.

My comp is a funny dude. Sometimes I don’t wake up to the alarm, so he wakes me up if I sleep through it. And a couple days this week I woke up to a short little Ukrainian man patting my head. Interesting way to wake somebody up, but hey it was more effective than the alarm clock. 

😉

Also elder t’s mom is going to hate me. He’s the most innocent pure hearted lad you’ll meet and I’ve been teaching him phrases like “turtle heading” and “prairie dogging”. 

Mikaela is still on track for her baptism! It’s been a tough week for her, but she’s pressin on. She is the best. Keep her in your prayers!

Transcdendent

We had tea with a member last night, I was wearing my suit but no jacket cause it had been a crazy and rushed afternoon after church. So the member forced me to take their jacket. I didn’t want to, but they made me. We went and tried by our investigators house and they let us in. And I will just say that their house is... well... I don’t think it’s ever been cleaned. It’s rank. And after we left I noticed I could still smell the smell. Sitting on their couch had made it rub off on our clothes. And this members jacket smelled like it. Worst feeling ever haha. I’m probably going to put it in the kitchen and cook some curry or something so the curry aroma masks the smell. 

😂😂😂 haha. Flip.

Chillin.

We were at Subway and elder t was telling the worker what he wanted on his sub, “salad, tomatoes, and uh... those weird cucumber things.” Couldn’t remember pickle. Haha it was pretty funny. He is the man. He played more saxophone this week too. Masta.

Tasty Nando's

So that’s my week! Been pretty solid! Oh also I gave a talk at church. Haha it’s been a busy week. I’ve loved it though. Love you all! Have a bodacious week!

You best get outta here before you get killed

Peacing out of Colwyn with some snow.

Hey! As for my subject line, first time on my mission that someone threatened to kill me! Our investigator Shelley’s parter Andy wanted us to come and check out his church’s soup kitchen thingy on Friday night. We knew it wasn’t going to go super well when we got there and he asked us if we could take our badges off. We said we couldn’t haha. We went up and could just feel the tension of everyone there though. Then a dude told me I best get outta there before I got killed. So. We stuck around for a couple minutes, then bounced. It wasn’t a good place to be. Andy later told us that last week there had been a big fight during their musical service.  Haha, pretty dope though, fun to meet some sketch people.

 

Saying bye to my boys Paul and Tom.

But as for Shelley! We met her my first day here, and taught her the restoration on Wednesday! And it was super good! She loved it. (: she wants to come to church because she’s been looking for a church, but she has social anxiety so it’s going to be a bit tough for her to come. She’s great. (:

New comp playin some clarinet.

Also! There is a wonderful lady named Mikaela that we met with on Saturday. She is the funniest haha, she’s like our Scottish grandma. She’s hilarious. But she had her baptismal interview yesterday and is going to get baptised in two weeks! Apparently it’s been a long road for her, she’s been seeing missionaries since July or so, and has had a lot of struggles, but she’s ready now! She’s super excited, she even has the temple as the background on her phone. She’s more excited to go to the temple then she is for her baptism lol. She’s amazing. She had had a rough week so we were able to help her out when we saw her on Saturday. She’s actually taking us bowling this afternoon so that’ll be pretty dope haha. (:

(If video doesn't appear, click on the link to the blog.)

Yeah! Blackpool is pretty great! Crazy place though. Well dodgy. My comp is pretty cool, he’s a good lad from the Ukraine. Funny kid. So there’s a bit of an update, hope your all doing well! Love you all! (:
