Coccyx pain continuation

Hey all! It’s been a minute since I sent out a group email. So I’ll tell ya bit about how Christmas and New Years was. They was dank. Grammar champ.

Anyway! We had a pretty swell week indeed. Trying to think of stuff... oh! I had a killer exchange with my boy chilli piri. Me and elder Chilpagiri went on an exchange here in Colwyn Bay way back in the day when we were being trained. Cause I started off in Rhyl and him in Colwyn Bay. We took the same picture that we took way back. So that was fun to think back and all that stuff. Kinda weird as well. We had loads of fun though, visiting a bunch of members and people he used to be teaching. So yep. Twas a well good time. Hahaha back on our first exchange I spent like a half hour teaching elder Chilpagiri “utahnese” the native language of utahns. So I made up like a bunch of words and would correct his grammar and stuff on them, it was great. We still speak a little Utahnese.

Second exchange with chilli


Alex has been really slowing down lately. He doesn’t seem too interested anymore. We’re gonna do some serious praying though and share a lesson with him sometime this week that’ll hopefully help him start being interested again. All goods though, we still prayin for boyo. 

I got back in contact with this dude I met when I first came to Colwyn! His names John and the first time I met him he didn’t want to meet up again, but this time he gave us his number. Back when I met him he said he had felt like in a spiritual drought. We gave him a Book of Mormon and stuff, then finally saw him again the other night. So that’s solid. Stoked on that. 

We also met a really nice couple John and Samantha. A member of our ward gave us some gift cards so we used those to take them out to lunch and gave them a Book of Mormon and stuff. Twas a good time. They’re really really nice, I’m excited to see them again. 

Bowling on Pday

Thaaaaats about it! I missed my Afro a little bit this week, my coccyx hurt a little bit this week. Not sure if yall remember but that was from me running down that hill like a hoopdy, then falling and breaking my butt on a rock. Not recommended. It hurts for a long time.
   



We went to a trampoline park last p day, went bowling today, ate some good chicken, I thought I became a scouser when Jimbo fed us some scouse food, but then Jim told the whole ward in testimony meeting that I wasn’t a scouser just because I ate scouse food. So that was a big letdown. Basically shattered my entire life right there in front of the whole ward. I only cried a bit though. 



So that’s a bit of an update for me! Still love wales, still love being a missionary. I love this gospel and the opportunity I have to improve and be better. As the great burgdaddy would say, “gospel love”. Love you all!
