More missionarying

Hello all! Its been a pretty killer week! Monday was some solid as you know we hiked around, and Elder Kitchen fell off a cliff. So that was some good stuff. (:

Elder Kitchen falling off the cliff.

Tuesday we had a solid district meeting, then tried by about a billion people. It was good. We met a super nice less active lady who had us in, another member Billy was there. Always nice to get invited in somewhere. (: We had tea that night with Barry Donaldson and his wife and it was great. Can't go wrong with a roast dinner. (: We had a great lesson just talking about the Book of Mormon.
Wednesday we had a great lesson with a former investigator. Talked a lot about the Book of Mormon and stuff and Jesus Christ so that was really good. I don't really remember what all else we did, kind of just trying by loads of people and tracting and such. Sorry this is going to be a pretty boring email, last week was a pretty average week.

Elder Korth's posterity.

Thursday we saw another former investigator. It was super good! We had a really good time just talking about God and the Book of Mormon and all that good stuff. (:
Friday we saw this less active couple and it was ultimately great. They were the nicest people ever. Hahah so the man was trying super hard to make me trunky. Trying his very best. 😜😂 haha so he goes on a ski vacation in Austria every year and he was showing me the web cams of the ski resort. 😜 we had a good lesson with them showing the light the world video cause they hadn't seen it yet. (: good stuff. We saw a member big Dave that afternoon. He is straight the best ever. (: he is hilarious, we had a good time doing some service for him cause he has a bad back. Good times.

Sunday was good, pretty average. President came and spoke to the ward so that was good. Sorry that this email was so bad. I love this gospel and my savior Jesus Christ and I'm grateful to be a missionary. Thanks for all you do! Love you all! (:


Oh yeah we went to a trampoline park this morning!! It was the most amazing thing that I have ever experienced in the entirety of my entire life. I was surprised by how easy it was to get back into it. Still got the double flips. 😜 so much stinking fun. Ah it was such a good time. We then did some service for this man named Abdul we helped him clean this crazy dirty restaurant that he is going to restore. So yeah that's what we did today. Peace out! 😁

Missionarying

Hey! This weeks been pretty killer! Last Monday we just chillaxed 😜 took like a 3 hour nap. It was pretty glorious. But it messed up my sleep schedule major bad.

Backflippin some trees

Tuesday we had district meeting! It was my first district meeting as a district leader, it went really well. Trainings from the missionaries were good, and it all ran smoothly. Good stuff. (: I gave a quick training at the end as well on Christ like attributes. Our president invited us to pick one each week and work on it before we take the sacrament on Sunday. It's good stuff I recommend it to everybody. (: After district meeting I went on exchanges with Elder Van Dyken one of the zone leaders in our area. It was a blast. We saw a recent convert and gave him a blessing because he's been pretty sick, then we went and met with this man Derek. A member of the ward basically taught him everything about mormons and said if you want to put a ring on it, you gotta do all this stuff. 😂 hahaha They are like in their 70's. He already believes its the true church though. We taught him the restoration and committed him to baptism. So good stuff for the zone leaders. We had some tea, then visited a less active, then visited Elder Van Dykens recent convert Tara. She is super nice and fed us more food. One of her friends Pravin was there. He is a free mason and told us some stuff about free masonry. Super interesting to learn about.

Falling off castles

The next day we finished up the exchange. It was a good exchange for sure. Elder Van Dyken is the man. We saw some people that afternoon snagged some Macky's and tried by some people. Pretty average day nothing too exciting. Oh yeah we got this pretty solid couple as investigators who we will be seeing tonight. Should be good. (: 

Elders Edwards, Van Dyken, Kitchen, and Stiff.

Thursday was weekly planning. It was really good, we set some goals for this transfer to have 2 baptisms and we are working really hard towards it. President sent a super good message about having faith, which is the power to baptise. It got us hyped and so we are having the faith to baptise. And trying to work smarter rather than harder. Good stuff. We had a killer afternoon and got like 3 more investigators. Good stuff.

Friday we had a lesson with a former investigator. He knows the church is true, he just doesn't want to change. Interesting. We'll see what we can do with that. (: we got a couple more investigators that day which was solid. Also I landed on my head doing this run up a hill backflip thingy so that was pretty fun.
Photo shoots for days

Saturday we had more Macky's (ugh) then had a street display. It was a good one, I met some pretty interested people, one who we will be seeing tomorrow. Should be good. Pretty average afternoon after that, just trickin around.
Sunday was super average. Pretty much nothing to report, except some tracting and church. 'Twas good though. (:
Elder Kitchen (top left) fell off that backwards shortly
after this pic was taken. What an animal.

Today has been killer so far. We went to a castle with Elders Van Dyken and Kitchen and had some good times, took loads of pictures. We were taking pictures by a waterfall and Elder Kitchen fell of a little cliff onto rocks. Backwards. Not even sure how the legend is alive. Just minor scratches. Killer day!😁
Hope you all have a great week this week! Love yall!

Chester!

Heey! What up! Haha so this week has been 157% killer! I'll start 'er off rn then....

Monday! I already told you about it but Monday was super fun. Me and Elder Cepeda said goodbye to Carl and Cassie and Graham and Chez. They all the bestest. It was sad to leave. It was a good time that night, just chillin and talking for a bit.

Elder Trunky portects us when we sleep.

Tuesday morning was the madness of taking 2 different buses with 6 bags of luggage. Complete madness. I think the bus driver hated us. 😂 np. He rejected a little girl on her way to school from getting on the bus. She ran to the bus and right as she got to it, he closed the doors and drove away. Complete savagery. Not in a good way though. It's a pain for everyone who takes public transport when you got a grumpy bus driver. Luckily we didn't get rejected though. We traveled down to Colwyn Bay to get the coach to transfer meeting. It was nice to hang with the district for one last time before a lot of us got transferred. The coach ride to transfers was like 3 hours. Real good time. 

Transfer meeting was good and then I met up with Elder Stiff! He is straight up the man. Canadian too. The drift king of Canada. We got a ride with the zone leaders back, did shopping for the week, and that was pretty much the end of that day.

Elder Stiff and Elder Edwards
boutta eat some baby food. It was mingin. We almost threw up. How do babies do it?

Wednesday was great. We basically just did some finding for most of the day. Elder stiff is hilarious and we get along super well, Ive been laughing so hard all week. He is a great missionary as well, really on top of everything and really obedient. So that is all good good stuff. (: it doesn't feel like a trainer trainee situation at all he just kills it. I wish when I was at 6 weeks out I was killing it that hard. 😜 We had a good time of finding, nobody was really interested we had ward coordination that night which was good. It's pretty crazy we have 3 sets of missionaries in our area. The zone leaders, us, and the Chester sisters. Haha loads of missionaries here. 

Elder Trunky close up

Thursday Elder Stiff went on exchanges with Elders Artates and Douglas so that me and 2 other district leaders and the zone leaders could go to a missionary leadership council. It was really really good, but mad long. It could've been a bit shorter haha but really good. There was loads of district leader tips so that was good. (: most helpful. After that we snagged some macky's then tried by a couple people then headed back.

Friday we weekly planned in the morning which was good. Not loads of people to plan for. We walked ages to this place called Soughton so we could tract the pant streets. All the street names started with pant. 😂 haha we laugh at the stupidest things. It was a good time though, had a couple good conversations and gave a book to one kid who was pretty interested. When we got back to the flat for tea we were just chillin out a bit and making up some gnarly football manoeuvres, like the up the leg thrower and up the other leg thrower to name a few. I did the roly poly where I held the ball with my legs then did a somersault. Elder Stiff tried it and kinda just flipped onto his back and the ball ended up perfectly underneath his head. He said "I call this one the chillax" for some reason I just busted up and could not stop laughing. 

How to missionary

For 15 minutes I couldn't stop laughing, I didn't want to laugh but it was uncontrollable. I was kinda recovering when we left the flat. Waiting at the bus stop I was fairly in control. On the bus I was singing I am a child of God in my head to keep from laughing but whenever it came into my head laughs burst out a little bit. The people on the bus prolly thought I was crazy. 😂 Elder Stiff literally broke my brain. My brain has never been that outta control before hahaha. 😂 I recovered and we went and saw this less active man. He was really nice, it's hard for him to retain stuff so we had to teach super simply. We then saw this investigator Damien. Haha so his decorations on his walls were hilarious, one of them being a single framed steroid bottle on the wall. 😂 he was a very nice and interesting man. When we got back to the flat that night, the memories of the chillax flooded back and I couldn't stop laughing again. It was an interesting night to say the least. The district leader stuff has been going good, doing call ins and such. Our district is us, zone leaders, Chester sisters, and Wrexham sisters. Nice size. (: 

The flat is mad solid.


Saturday we had a street display in Chester with the Chester missionaries. Remember a while back how I went to a cathedral in Chester on a p day? Haha so we did the street display right in front of that cathedral. Never thought I'd serve here. The city of Chester is so solid, we live about a half hour bus ride away from Chester in a city called Buckley. The street display was good, not a lot of people very interested though. We had tea that night which was solid. Elder Stiff kills the cooking game. Which is super nice for me because he enjoys cooking, and I just get to do the little things to help out. 😜 We tracted this street that night and got 2 solid investigators on the first 2 houses we knocked. Heck ya. They were both boys about our age, one of them plays loads of football so we are going to try to get a game going with him. So that was some solid.
Sunday was great! It was actually really exciting to me to kind of get a fresh start with members. At the beginning of my mission I was still super nervous about things, and didn't really go out of my way to interact with members. So I was just trying to get to know as many as I could which went really well actually. (: so church was great. We did some finding and eating that afternoon and that about it.

Another picture from Peter's baptism.

All in all this has been a solid week! I am so looking forward to this transfer and the new opportunities with district leader and such. It's so nice being companions with Elder Stiff, because we can laugh and have a good time, get along great, while working hard. And we both are
really trying to be as obedient as possible so things are going great!

I love this gospel so much. I love the Book of Mormon and the power I get from reading it each day. Anyone who is struggling, daily study of the Book of Mormon will get you back on track. There really is power in the Book. Love you all have a great week!

-Elder Edwards

Transfer tricks

Hello everybody! Well I'm not going to say transfer news till the end, no cheating and skipping ahead. Got that? 😜 alright so last Monday as you know we went to Llandudno again. It was a ballin good time. We have the illest district to ever exist. Hands down. It was a real good time, messing around and enjoying some sunshine. That night we had a lesson with peter. He joined us at the chapel and we watched the prophet of the restoration. Peter was super emotional through the whole thing and really really enjoyed it. So that was great stuff. (: After that we did some finding and talked to the homie Rob in Spar. Good night indeed.

The man. The myth. The legend Elder Cade Jensen.
Also, look how major twinning we are.

Tuesday we had a street display. Haha so I started talking to this lady, like ya do, and she said "excuse me I don't like being accosted in the street." So I said "oh I'm so sorry for accosting you" elder Humphries thought that was pretty funny. 😂 The rest of the day was good we saw Peter and had a good lesson with him. We then had tea with Sian and Rob which was great as always. After that we tried by Tina and she actually let us talk to her!! So that was the best. We talked for a while and ended up talking about church. She's going to a happy clappy church right now. Not sure the whole reason why she stopped coming but she was saying there was just too much stuff. Too much going on, loads of meetings and stuff after her baptism and everything was just super rushed. I bore testimony of the Book of Mormon and priesthood and all that good stuff so that was good. It was good to actually get to talk to her. (: We saw carl and Cassie that evening which was great.

Wednesday morning we got a text from Peter telling us he didn't want to be baptised anymore. We were like whaaaat and gave him a call. He wasn't answering his phone so we just snagged a bus over there to Mostyn. We weren't able to see him though. He wasn't in. So that was lame. We went back to Rhyl and that evening we had a worldwide missionary broadcast thingy. They announced the new schedule even though we'd already heard about it. I love the new schedule. The goal with it is to give us back our agency and let us judge righteously how to use our time. I think it is a really smart move. Also not planning in the evening is just glorious. (:
Thursday we did some tracting then traveled to Mostyn to try and see Peter. We were able to catch him in and he let us in. We found out that he was mostly just scared for his baptism. And he felt a little unworthy. We had a great lesson on fear and he decided he still wanted to be baptised. So that was solid. We had ward council that evening which was really good. We talked loads about the recent converts of the ward so it was good stuff.

Wearing a burning tie.

Friday was mine and Elder Humphries 6 month mark!! 😁 we went to Pizza Hut and had all you can eat buffet to celebrate. I felt most un-triumphant afterward. Because I was so full. But also most triumphant at the same time. 😜 We went to Denbigh and had a good lesson with our man Petros. He really wants to get his faith in God back so that's good. (: we had tea with the Jollife family and she fed us a super solid curry. It was delicious to the maximum. We had Peter come to Rhyl for a lesson. It was great as well. We watched the broken vessels Mormon message and it was super good for Peter. After that elder Humphries and Cepeda met us at the chapel so me and Elder Humphries could burn some ties! He he he. I have been so excited to burn a tie. We switched it up from the norm, and burned our ties while we wore them. 😜 One pic to follow then more like next week or somethin. It
was a good time. (:

Saturday morning we got the scary call that any missionary knows what I'm talking about... 😜 President Ulrich gave us a call for our transfer news! So elder Jensen will be staying here in Rhyl and training a new missionary! Crazy crazy! Excited for him he is going to do great. (: and I will be leaving the land of my inheritance and going to Chester! Same zone which is nice. (: I will be serving with Elder Stuff who has been out for 1 transfer. All I know is that he is from Canada, has red hair, and he snowboards. So heck stinkin yes. 😜 I'm excited he seems like a really nice dude. Also I will be the district leader... ... ... ... ... not sure how I feel about that. 😜 It'll be good though I'm excited to get outside of my comfort zone again. (: 

The main man Peter.

So then we had Peter's baptism! It was so good! Peter was super nervous and was literally shaking, but it just went so good. After he was baptised and in the changing room he just cried and cried because he felt the spirit so strong. It was amazing to see him so happy. (: It was a blessing to teach him, the gospel has absolutely changed his life. He is such a good man. (: Elder Jensen baptised him and it was a great experience for everyone involved. (: we had fish and chips from my favorite chippy for the last time with the other elders. 😢

Sunday was great we had Peter's confirmation which went really well. So Elder Humphries got a call from president Sunday morning and will be training as well! Crazy! Elder Cepeda is going to Whitefield. Going to be weird not being in the same area as him anymore. He is straight the man. Thank goodness for Utah. 😅 The rest of the day me and Elder Jensen just went around saying goodbye to people. 

First weekend together in Rhyl and last weekend together in Rhyl.
First there was two. And then there was none.

So today since me and Elder Jensen cleaned the heck outta the flat for transfer cleaning. I packed as well. So then elder Jensen and Humphries had to travel to Manchester for the train the trainers
meeting. So that means... that me and Elder Cepeda are companions for the day!! Heck to the stinkin yes! Haha it is the perfect way to finish off 4 1/2 months in the same area, with an exchange on the last day. (:

Graham and Chez's house

So yeah! I will be leaving Rhyl! It's kinda sad, saying bye to Sian and Rob was especially lame. But I'm excited for this new transfer! It's been a great pleasure to serve with elder Jensen. It was amazing to be able to finish off two transfers together of hard work with the baptism of Peter. Elder Jensen is a great missionary and a super hard worker. A true homie. Him and his new companion are going to do great work here in Rhyl. Alright, well peace out everyone! Love you all!

Subjects are the bane of my existence


Hello all! Hope it's been a killer week, in the various places of the world! Mostly hope it's been a killer week in Utah though because ya know, best place. Last Monday... I can't even remember what we did... we did some stuff though I'm sure of it... 


Tuesday! Tuesday we went to district meeting down in Colwyn Bay. It was some good. Afterwards me and elder Jensen stayed in colwyn bay for exchanges. They changed the way they do exchanges, now instead of companionships splitting up and working the 2 areas, now all four elders just go to the district leaders area. It was pretty solid though. I went with the illest district leader Elder Cossa. From the land of Zimbabwe. It was great, we tracted that afternoon in some place, not much interest but we had a good time. This lady got very upset with us for knocking on her door. Curse words were screamed. Spittle was spewed. Fingers were put up. Haha it's crazy how upset some people can get. All good. (: Then this kid who was really quite stoned wanted a Book of Mormon, but we convinced him to take a pamphlet instead and if he liked it he could get a Book. 😜 After that we met up with Paul, a member there in Colwyn Bay and snagged a bus to go and see their investigator Emma. She made tea for us. It was like the most delicious curry I ever did have. We then had a super great lesson on the Holy Ghost. Emma has been dated for baptism a couple times but it never ended up going through. The spirit was super strong and I really enjoyed it. We were able to date her for baptism so hopefully the Colwyn Bay elders can help her accomplish that date. After that we saw this less active lady sister McKenna. The lady has 10 smart phones, 3 laptops, and 4 iPads. I just don't even understand. 😂 she's hilarious, Elder Cossa called her phone and as she would be searching through all the phones he would hang up. It was most entertaining. She also told me about the time she called president Hinckley Chuck. Haha it was a most interesting visit. It's always fun working in somebody else's area. (:

All the homies.

Wednesday me and elder Cossa did some street contacting, studying, lunch eating then ended the exchange. Me and elder Jensen rolled on back to Rhyl. We did some tracting and saw a couple people that afternoon. Had tea and then went to travel to mostyn to see peter. We were supposed to see him, but the bus times were wrong and there wasn't actually a bus. So that was lame. We tried by a couple people and saw the homie Rob in spar again. We gave him a Book of Mormon which was solid. He's such a nice dude.

Thursday we had weekly planning. It was good. it was kind of a crazy day we were going all over the place for all sorts of stuff. We had tea with bishop which was solid. That night we had another lesson with Cassie's friends Kate and Fran. Kate especially is super interested and really wants to know if god exists. She had read the chapter we left her! Score! 😁 we had a great lesson just talking about prayer and scripture study. Good stuff. (:

This one time on a crowded train.😂
I was leaned back a bit, not quite that short.😜 Pretty close though. 

Friday we got a text from Peter saying he didn't want to be baptised anymore. I gave him a call and we set up to come around that afternoon. Like 5 months ago I was reading an ensign in the flat and had read this article about healing emotionally from experiences. I thought of it that morning and thought it was PERFECT for peter. So I found it on the shelf and read through it. Me and elder Jensen decided it would be great for him, so we took it with us. When we saw peter he thought he needed to work through some things from his past before his baptism. As soon as I started reading the article the spirit just filled the room. Peter got really emotional and it was just perfect. Afterwards I asked him what he thinks he should do and he said move forward and get baptised because he knows starting there will help him. So that was super good. We gave him a blessing and are moving forward with the baptism but moving it to this Saturday cause he needs a bit more time. Exciting! We had tea with the Jones's that night which was great.
Sorry almost out of time, Saturday we had a great street display where Elder Humphries got bashed by a Jehovah Witness lady and attack hugged him. 😂 He was not happy afterward hahaha. We saw Peter again then saw Graham and Chez. Great stuff. 

Cheesy pic
Sunday Peter came to church which was great. We tried by some former investigators that afternoon and met with a man named Steve. Good stuff. P day today was solid! Loads of people met up in Llandudno to hike the great orme. I'll send some of those pics next week cause can't today. Sorry this last bit was rushed. I love this work! I love all of you as well! Thanks for the support! Have a great week!😁

You know if your 2 litre cola cost 20 cents it's really good quality and healthy so drink the whole thing

Hello everybody! We have had a killer week! The next installment of Elder Edwards's missionary work adventures coming right up!


Monday: so yeah we did some castling and other and such. Good p day. The rest of night we street contacted for a while and got a pretty solid potential investigator so that was good. Yeah. That's about it.

Tuesday we manoeuvred ourselves over to district meeting. It was a good solid district meeting. The sisters did a training where we each got a Christ like attribute and we had to explain why ours was the best. Mine was humility and I found a scripture that says if you're not humble you will perish. So I basically won hands down. 😂 haha  

P day shopping

After district meeting we went to Mostyn and saw Peter. We had a solid lesson with him! We were talking about how he would need to stop coffee that day if he wanted to be baptized on the 21st and he poured all his coffee down the toilet! He is seriously the man! We offered to buy him some hot chocolate as a replacement but he had already bought some! Hahaha  So he told us while shopping that week the hot chocolate was on the shelf and it said "oye! Come get some of me!" His own words. Haha it was the funniest thing ever coming from him. 😂 he is a good man, and has some really sincere desire to change. (: that night we saw Carl and Cassie which was solid. They are great, always fun to see.

Wednesday was FREEZING! The wind was about a billion and a half miles an hour so it was loads of fun. We did some finding for a while, then went and sat in the warmth of subway for a little while and called pretty much every single person in our phone, got a couple new investigators out of it so that was solid. (: We had tea with the Boome family that night. They are super great, and they always feed major solid food. It was most excellent. Then we proceeded to get on the wrong bus and start heading in the opposite direction of Rhyl. 😂 hopped off then had to wait for another one which was a little lame. 😜 Every single time we walk past this spar near our flat for the past 5 months I feel like we should talk to the man who's always working in there. So we finally went in and talked to him for a while, his name is Rob and he's super chill. Super nice as well. We're hopefully going to meet with him soon. (:

Pday shopping--Bath robes!

Thursday was weekly planning. Yeah yeah it was good. We went to Prestatyn for a bit and visited Debbie in her cake shop. She is great. She has a referral for us that she's hopefully going to invite to a lesson soon. That afternoon we went to mostyn and had tea with Sian and Rob. They are still doing pretty good. We had a great lesson with them. They are the best people ever. (: after that we saw Peter and had a really good lesson with him as well. He is doing really good and is working really hard to be able to be baptized next week because he doesn't want to push it back again. Thursday night we went and taught some of Cassie's friends! Kate and Fran were their names. We taught the restoration and it was a great lesson! They are really hard to keep on track haha. But they both took Book of Mormons and asked if we could come back and teach more! So that was major solid. (:

Trying on a suit. The suits here are the bomb.

Friday was even more freezing then Wednesday. It was hailing and crazy windy. Fun fun. Luckily we had loads of stuff going on so we were indoors for much of it. (: We had a lesson with this Muslim lady Abeer and her husband David! It was probably one of my favorite discussions I have taught yet on my mission. It was so so good. We talked about religion and taught them the restoration, they were super open and seemed to really like everything we said. She even acknowledged the energy she could feel in the room. They took a Book of Mormon, and were very open to reading and praying to find out if it was true. (: it was major solid. We traveled the age long bus ride to mostyn from Belgrano where Abeer lives. They are on complete opposite ends of our area haha. We went to Peter's house and we went to have tea at the "Bells of Saint Mary" a really nice carvery. The food was major solid and I ate way too stinkin much. It was the best. After that we traveled with Peter to Colwyn Bay for his baptismal interview. He passed! He was so excited and proud of himself after. (: We're major excited as well.

WE SAW SNOW!!!!

Saturday we went to Denbigh and went and tried by this previous investigator Petross. He invited us in and we had a great lesson about the Book of Mormon. He is really interested in coming to know God again because he misses having that in his life. He was actually suggested by Brolo because he was saying he went with the missionaries a couple years ago and thought Petross might be ready for the gospel now. So we are looking forward to seeing him again! 😁 the rest of the day we did some finding and had a couple really good lessons. We saw Graham and Chez that night which was fun as usual. Sunday we had church and tried by loads of previous investigators. It was a pretty good day. (:
Today we did some pool playing and got our haircut and now be chillin at the chapel. (: its been a great week. Its been so amazing seeing the influence Jesus Christ has on people's lives! We can all come closer to him and it will help us live such better and more purposeful lives. Grateful for all that he has done for us. Hope you all have a great week! 

Love you all! Shred hard in the beautiful snow for me if you're in Utah!


Not sure if I ever sent this one...

Still Wales

Hello all! On the next instalment of Elder Edwards's missionary work adventures... knocking doors!! Wow!! Getting rejected!!! Alright!! Walking around!!! No way!!! Planning!!! Exciting!!! Studying!! How neat is that!!!... well sorry about that. What an intro eh? 😜

A pic from Christmas dinner with the Lowe family. Brolo took the pic. Some sort of English tradition where you wear these paper hats out of a popper thing. Nice.

Last Monday was some solid. We played pool I think. It was a good time. I really like pool. And it's only 50 pence a game which is way solid. We play pool quite often now. That's pretty much all we did. Then just chilled about at the chapel.
Tuesday president came to Rhyl to interview all the missionaries in Chester zone. Our interviews were at 12:45 and he was so far behind we sat around with all the other missionaries until we finally had our interviews at like 2:30. Good times. We had an appointment with our Elders Quorum president Andy to help him paint and get fed at 2:30 so we were a bit late. 😂 President ended up taking the elders in Rhyl out to dinner after. We couldn't go because we had the other appointment but Elders Cepeda and Humphries got to go with him haha. That night we saw Graham and Chez then Carl and Cassie and it was a good time. (:

#rain

Wednesday we did some finding and got a couple of investigators which was good. We had tea with the Yansen family that night. They fed us some seriously solid food. It was an amazing stir fry. Top class. They are a great family. And he has a quality Porsche. After that Brolo picked us up and we drove to Mostyn to see Peter. He is doing pretty good. We had a great lesson with him talking about the word of wisdom and chastity and really just helping him out with a lot of his concerns. It was a really really good lesson. Afterwards we saw Sian and Rob. They are doing pretty good as well. They are just the best people to exist in Wales. Brolo' style of doing a lesson is just follow the spirit. Haha so we didn't really plan anything specific to teach them. We had a super great discussion for a while and we could really feel the spirit. It was really nice.


Thursday we traveled to Crewe for the mission "vision" meeting. We left nice and early in the morning. President spoke for a while which was really good then we had some trainings. After that we had lunch. Subway. Solid. And then after lunch they introduced... the new schedule! Pretty crazy. Basically p day starts earlier (yay) and we have a more flexibility to plan studies and stuff for when they fit best into our day. Also what I'm the most excited about is we don't plan at night anymore! It is glorious. Get back to the flat at 9 and just chillin. Ah it's so nice. We plan in the morning now and at least for me it is way more effective. I'm loving it so far. (: then we traveled back to Rhyl and got some tasty kebabs with the other elders. Good times.


Friday we had weekly planning. Can you guess what it was? It was good. 😜 after that we headed to Mostyn for an appointment with an investigator. He didn't show again. We will probably drop him because his wife kinda hates us 😂 and he never shows. We did some finding that afternoon then had tea with Sian and Rob. Ah she feeds us the best food. Sausage, stuffing, mashed potatoes, onions. It was glorious. Stuffing is my favorite thing on the planet I think. We had a really great lesson afterwards just talking about Jesus Christ. They are such good people, Sian and rob. Its been so amazing getting to know them.


Saturday we had a street display with the other Elders. This street display was rough. NOBODY would listen to any of us. I only got 2 people to talk to me and one of them just wanted to bash. So that was a real good time. We did some tracting then had tea at our flat with the other elders. We had the traditional social Saturday meal which is pasta. We have perfected the art of making pasta. Loads of peppers and meatballs and all sorts of goodness. So good. The rest of the night was good as well.
Sunday we had church then ate then went to a fireside in Chorley with Brolo and Sian. Sian really enjoyed it. It was so much fun and had a great spirit. It wasn't the usual recent convert fireside but it was this musical sort of thing called "the story goes on." It was solid.


Today we did some castling then chicken nugget eating then bought loads of cheap ties. Ties are the bomb. Thanks for tuning in and next week on elder Edwards's adventures is... more knocking on doors!!!! Wow!! Haha love you all have a great week. (:
