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

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. (:
