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.

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!
