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. (:
