Waterfall with the boys.

I’m dead. Today as a district we went and hiked up to Aber falls, and I was doing some flips and it was hecka slippery. I was running pretty fast to do a flip and slipped as I did it and came down full force on head/shoulder. My shoulder feels like it’s gonna fall off. But I did it again to show the flip that it don’t own me. I landed it, but it made it hurt even more. One of these times I’m gonna learn my lesson and quit being a hoopdy. Sorry mom. It’ll be fine in the morning though.
Nailed it.


As for my week! It was pretty solid. All the new peeps we found last week bailed, then the peeps we found this week bailed too, but then we found a solid new friend last night! His name is Ryan, he’s about to have a baby and him and his gf have been wanting to look into religion cause they want their baby to be baptised or something. So we talked for a bit and got an appointment to come back so that’s solid. He was a nice dude, had a real nice hoodie too. 

Washing the mud off from trying to tunnel to the
center of the earth with my head.

We had an entire quorum of cats following us as well while we were tracting. That’s a lot of W words, well while we were Teresa came to church again! She’s been hard to contact lately but luckily we were on the same bus as her the other day so we got to talk to her for a bit. Then she came to church. Nice one.


For young men’s this week we had a nerf war. It was pretty legendary. Kieran came! We really need to start teaching that kid, he loves coming to church and activities and stuff. 


Nerf war with the lads.

A member here scared me to absolute death. She fixed a rip in my suit trousers for me and when she brought them back, she was like “there you go! 2 inches off the legs!” Terror in its purest form. Luckily she was trickin me though so it’s all good.

Were playing ping pong with Alex this Thursday then we’re hopefully going to get him to a baptism down in chester this weekend. We’re kinda losing him, so we gotta tryan get him back on track. Hopin he comes to the baptism. Good lad, he shaved his beard and looks pretty fresh.
Thaaaaats about it. Having some good times here in Colwyn Bay, oh yeah! Got to watch the broadcast thing by president Nelson. Well good. Nice to have some wise old dudes to tell us all the good stuff. Lucky that Jesus Christ’s church is led by good men that the Lord can work through. 


In church we had a lesson about service in priesthood. There was a quote that something like, if we don’t serve others, our lives have little meaning. I thought about the man Thomas S. Monson. That dude served like nobodies business. And the whole world loved him. What a great example and leader. President Nelson is going to be amazing as well, he spoke to our mission in 2016 and it was well good. So yeah! The Church is in good hands! Love you all and hope your weeks are excellent. (:
