So much missionary

(written April 24, 2017)

Hey all! It has been one killer week. My new comp Elder Godfrey, what a legend. He's in Elder Stiff's group so he's been out for about 5 months. Great man, he's here to work hard, he's got his priorities set straight, and knows why he's out here. So that's good stuff. (:

The old district.

Monday was pretty killer. We hit up the mini golf place for the last day with the boys. It was a good time. Did some shopping and I got a dank new tie. My fav tie of all time. So I was pretty pumped about that. That night the Mounchers had us over for tea. It was good to hang with them for a bit, they are such a great family. After that me and Elder Stiff bumped on over to the man himself Dave. We had such a nice time with him. The three of us seriously got so close. Dave expressed to us some stuff he was struggling with and we were able to share some stuff that really helped him. The spirit was so strong. I love moments like that. Dave was sad to see elder Stiff go. It was a nice night.

Dave. Legend.

Tuesday morning we hit up Maccy's brekky. (translation: McDonald's for breakfast) 'Twas good. Then we drove with the zone leaders over to Manchester. We went to the delivery elders flat to drop stiff off. We chilled with them for a bit. Elder Stiff is companions with Elder Cowdrey now as the delivery elders. Elder Cowdrey. What a legend. That delivery elder life looks pretty killer. 😜 then me and Elders Van Dyken cruised over to pick up Elder Beck and drop off Elder Van Dyken. It was super sad to see Elder Stiff and Van Dyken go. We had such good times together. Then we cruised on over and picked up my comp elder Godfrey. I saw Elder Korth as well! So nice to see him. He's a legend. We cruised on back to Chester, did some shopping, then did some missionary work. Got dropped by a couple of people so that's fun. 😜

Wednesday! We got to see Sergio again! Super good kid. He loves to ask all the hard questions. 😜 Haha we spent the whole time sharing our testimonies and answering his questions. Haha so that was really good. We also saw Luke for a bit one of our investigators. There wasn't really anything else eventful that day. We had ward coordination that night which was good.

We're worried about elder trunky. He has a drinking problem.

Haha At first this week elder Godfrey wasn't quite sure what to make of me hahaha, his last companion was pretty straight laced no jokes sorta dude, and here's me who's not quite so serious. But we're bros already and elder Godfrey is really funny. So it's been nothin but good times. 😎

At it again.

Thursday! Weekly planning that morning. I despise weekly planning. Haha just wanna get outta the flat and go do stuff. Oh well I managed to get through it though. 😜 that afternoon we hit up Penyfordd to try by a couple of people. We were tracting by this less actives house and we met this man who was very much not interested. We talked for a couple minutes but it was obvious that he wasn't interested. He was like oh you should talk to my son, so he was like James get over here
and talk to these Jesus Christ people. Haha this 9 year old kid came over and so we started talking to him about spongebob (my fav show) and stuff. Then we started talking about gospel stuff. Elder Godfrey was like what's your favorite bible story? James was like hmmm... when Jesus gets baptised! Haha we were like heck yeah, asked him if he wanted to get baptised. He was super excited and was nodding his head loads. His dad said they were going to get him christened but the pastor wouldn't let James because his parents didn't believe in god. We were like he can get baptised at our church. James said he wanted to. 😂 haha so we haven't been able to see him since then but we've got a 9 year old friend now who really wants to get baptised. That's what I'm talking about. (:

We met a dude named Connor who was interested and invited us to come back and to talk to him and his girlfriend. So that's solid as well. We met a super funny member who hasn't been able to make it out to church as of late. Her name is Pauline. We talked to her on her doorstep for a while. Haha she was hilarious. I said Uchtdorf in a scouse accent and she was laughing for like a solid 5 minute. If you want to hear the scouse accent look it up on YouTube, scouser saying chicken, or something along those lines. It's hilarious. (:

Throwback to the good ole days

Enjoying the sunshine.😎

Friday. Julie the lady who came to church dropped us. That was really lame. We were going out to an investigators house that morning, it was a super long walk. We were just cruising along, enjoying the sunshine when there was this dude walking towards us and I knew I should talk to him. So I started talking to him. He was a super nice dude, really deep thinker, we ended up talking for about an hour, we shared so much with him and there was a really strong spirit the entire time. It was so solid. It was really refreshing to meet Dale. He was seriously so good. He ate up everything we told him. We are seeing him Wednesday. A problem so many missionaries have is people not following through with their appointments then you never see them again. I was really excited about Dale and really didn't want him to be another one that just drops off the planet so I fasted for him. Fasted that he wouldn't change his mind, and that we'd be able to meet with him. I'm really hoping our appointment on Wednesday actually happens.

Elder Godfrey at the baptism.

Saturday! Saturday we cruised on over to Southport because Elder Godfrey was having a baptism there. It was such a nice service. I got to see elder Schoonover from my group. He's a legend as well. That afternoon the weather was so nice. Very much enjoyable. We saw Doreen which was hilarious as usual then we cruised on over and had tea with Dave. Dave is seriously one of my fav people. We did some service for him after tea.

Sunday was great! Martin came to church, and we had quite a few less active families we've been working with come out to church. So it was a good day. (: Sunday afternoon we had a couple appointments fall through and there wasn't really anything else eventful.

So yeah! There's my week! Elder Godfrey is pretty sick. I'm looking forward to this transfer. Love you all!

Transfers!

(Laurel here... Ack! I totally forgot to post last weeks letter!!)
written April 17, 2017:

Hey all! Sorry I'm feeling super lazy so this email isn't going to be super long, I will just try to make some highlights. (:

The broken golf club.

This week has been pretty crazy. We had loads of appointments all over the place, and Elder Stiff lost our phone. Missionary work is surprisingly hard without a phone. 😂 Haha especially when your mission president is trying to reach you about transfer calls. Anyway we tried our best to make do. 

Our investigator Ken that we met in Halkyn last week, we drove out there with Bro Mouncher and he dropped us. Fun stuff. 😜 Most of our appointments this week fell through. 

Elder Trunky is the best man to ever exist. He cooks our eggs.

On Thursday we traveled down to Wrexham for a baptismal interview for the sisters. The girl's name is Ebony. She was super nice, and I really enjoyed the interview. Her baptism was on Saturday. I wanted to go, so we met with an investigator who said she could come out to the baptism. So we arranged a lift. On Saturday 5 minutes before our lift arrived Julia (the investigator) cancelled. |: so we weren't able to go. 

We finally were able to see Sergio again! We've been having a hard time getting in contact with him since we lost the phone. He came to church as well. Really nice kid. I think he enjoyed it. 

A righteous cause.

Well there really isn't a lot to report. Oh yeah! Transfers! Elder Stiff will be leaving Chester and become the new delivery elder for the mission! He's pretty excited, should be good. I will be staying here and my new companion will be elder Godfrey. He's been out for like 4 months and that's about all I know about him. I'm excited! (: Well I will definitely give a better email next week! Thanks! Love you all!

Birthdayin, golfin

Hey everyone! Been a pretty killer week over here in Wales. (: Last Monday we cruised on down to Rhyl and fixed up their bikes down there. Then we cruised on over to the bus station and learned we weren't even allowed to take bikes on the buses. /: so we left them in Rhyl haha. Then for the last little bit of p day we went and had tea with Sian and Rob in Mostyn! My 2 fav people in the UK. (: Sian fed us a delicious curry. So good to see them again. (:

Tuesday was district meeting. It was pretty good, we talked a lot about obtaining the spirit and following the promptings of the spirit. I enjoyed it. After that we had exchanges with the zone leaders. It was ultimately solid. I went with Elder Kitchen and we had a great time. Did lots of finding and were able to find a couple new people who were interested. Elder Kitchen is a good man, I really enjoyed the exchange. There was this house that has Elvis literally everywhere. They let us step in and look in the living room, where there was a couple massive Elvis statues, and just posters and records everywhere. Haha it was pretty mad. And dope. (: That night after we went in we had a fire on their back patio. It was really fun. Made some s'mores out of digestive biscuits. They were dang good. 😎 it was so nice to chill for a bit around the fire, super refreshing to the soul. (:

Wednesday we finished up our exchange, then Dave drove me and Elder Stiff out to Halkyn. We tracted all afternoon with NOTHING. Haha we decided to start tracting out a bit into the more countryside part of it where the houses are like 3 football fields away from each other. We met this man named Ken! He was super super solid. We talked for a while about the Restoration. Him and his wife have been going to loads of different churches for ages. Ken was so great and took a Book of Mormon. We are going back tomorrow... not sure exactly how we're going to get there haha. (: Dave picked us up then we went to a carvery and snagged some food. Dave is a homie. (: the rest of the night was just ward coordination.

Thursday we had weekly planning. ''Twas good". Not a lot to say about it. 😜 that afternoon we hit up Blacon and tried by some people and did some tracting. It was pretty good. We were able to talk to this lady Sadie who we met ages ago but never were able to get in contact. She was super solid still! She said she drove by the church and thought of us. She is so nice, and really wants to come to church. (: it'll be good to see her there. That night we had an appointment with a man named Mike. We met him in Flint but he lives in Buckley. He told us the name of his house. Lots of places here the houses have names and no numbers which makes it really hard to find a house. The street he lived on was ages long. So we walked all the way down it looking for the house pylpoxl. 45 minutes of walking looking for this stinkin house. Then we walked all the way back up the road looking for it. Needless to say we never found the house and missed our appointment. 😐 so that was pretty dumb haha.

Friday was super slow. Nobody was interested and nobody we tried by was in. Our appointments that day fell through as well. We were knocking one door and talking to a lady when all a sudden a wild man started screaming at us from the street, telling us not to knock and don't talk to this lady. So the conversation was cut short. The man was swearing at us like crazy and trying to hit us with his bike. Good stuff. 😁

Saturday. We went to Chester and tried by a former investigator James. He was super nice and we talked for a while. We are going back there tonight. Super nice dude. We saw a couple less active members which went good. We were waiting for our bus when a random dude stopped and offered us a lift. We hopped in. His name was Scott and he was super nice. We talked for a while and got his number and are going to go over some time. (: Saturday night was pretty slow.

Sunday was Elder Stiff's birthday! We weren't expecting any investigators coming to church but right as it was about to start we saw Julie who we taught last week! And she brought one of her friends! It was so solid! It was fast and testimony meeting and talking to Julie and Louise afterwards they loved it! It was so great. They just said they felt so good and relaxed and peaceful. Solid. (: a lot of people bore testimony on the Book of Mormon, and afterwards I gave one to Louise because it was the first time we'd met her. She was like oh this is what everyone was talking about! It was so great to have them there. That night we had tea with the Santos family and they fed us a Phillipino meal. Chicken Adobe. It was stinking good. When we got to the flat last night we burned some cake for a birthday candle and ate some cake for Elder Stiffs birthday. It was a good time. (:

This morning we bought some 3 pound golf clubs then went to the driving range. Haha it was pretty fun. I broke my club. The club head went further then the ball did hahaha. Good times. (: that's my week! 

Love you all and have a good one!

Bore da

Laurel here--finally posting last weeks letter!!
Also... "Bore da" is Welsh for good morning. :)

Hey all! It's been a pretty solid week! I hardly remember any of it but I'll try my best. 😜

Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday we did missionary work. It was really really slow and nobody wanted to hear anything we wanted to say and there's not a lot to report. Sooooo yeah. (: it was great! 😜 

We knocked anyways.

Thursday! We had a pretty killer weekly planning! We didn't really have any investigators to plan for because we dropped a ton of people because they just simply aren't progressing. So we tried to figure out other stuff to plan for. I was thinking about my ancestor John Edwards who lived in Wales, wondering if he lived in North Wales which is part of our mission. So I looked it up but he isn't in our mission so I was like dang we can't tract his town. 😜 

Downton Abbey or something.

Then I was thinking about Dan Jones. For those of you who don't know, Dan Jones is a Welshman who was a convert to the early church. He was actually with Joseph Smith in Carthage jail the night before Joseph and Hyrum were murdered. Joseph asked Dan if he was afraid to die. Dan said something like "engaged in this work, death would not have much terror" don't quote me because that wasn't quite what he said but it was something like that. 😜 Joseph then prophesied that Dan would serve a mission in his homeland of Wales and complete his life's work as the lord intends.

A couple years later Dan Jones served in Wales and played a key role in over 6 thousand people being baptised. I love the story of Dan Jones and wondered where in Wales he was born. I searched high and low to find it, but it's hard because the limited use of our iPads. But finally in the October 1987 friend I found an article that talked about Dan Jones. It said he was born in the little village of Halkyn, Wales. And that is in our area! We got super pumped and actually felt really good about going out and tracting this village. We are going on Wednesday and having Dave (a member) drive us out there. Haha so there's a bit of church history for yous. (: That afternoon we had a lesson with Julie! It went super super good. It was the first time she let us in her home. We took Brother Ron Sparks with us. We had a great lesson on the plan of salvation and Brother Sparks was just the perfect fellowshipper so that was great. (: Tracting that night we met a very kind lady named Jill. Jill's son died about a year ago and she has been searching for answers ever since then. We are going back there tomorrow and are very excited! (: She is a great woman. 

Friday we tracted in a town called Flint. The streets we tracted there was a castle right next to it! Literally a 2 minute walk haha. So we had lunch chillin in the castle courtyard which was pretty dope haha. (: That afternoon we found two new friends who are both really great! Cicilia and Mike. They are great people and I look forward to being able to work with them. 

That night we walked ages out to contact a media referral. His name is Sergio and we finally caught him in! He is from Luanda and has been in the U.K. For 2 months. While he has been in the U.K. his family in Luanda was baptised into the church. So his family sent him to us as a referral. Haha we got there and he already had everything his mom brought to him, Book of Mormon, all the pamphlets. He accepted the invite to be baptised which was amazing. (: not sure if he'll be baptised here or when he goes back to Luanda but I look forward to working with him. (:

We're in Rhyl right now and had to take the classic bathroom selfie.
Who remembers these?

Saturday and Sunday was basically just conference. I loved it! So good. I especially loved Ronald a Rasbands talk about being first responders to the spirit. And how if we don't respond the first time we are prompted it weakens our connection with the spirit. But if we always respond first, we will be so close with the spirit and be a strong tool in his hands. (:

So that's my week! It's been pretty killer! Thanks for all you all do for me. Love you all! (:

8 months!

Hey everybody! It has been one crazy and solid week. And today is my 8 month mark so that's pretty solid! Sorry this email is so late, we've been traveling back from the history tour all day. 

Yooooooo a bunch of my group for the 8 month squad on the history tour.
True homies. (:

Monday! Monday we visited Chester cathedral, it was pretty fun to go back, I went there on a p day during my second transfer while in Rhyl. It was good times hanging with the boys. After that we just chilled at the chapel, playing some ping pong and emailing and what not. Good times. (: that night we had a couple appointments that fell through, but we were able to set up a couple appointments with investigators so that will hopefully go well. (:

Tuesday! We had a zone meeting in my birthplace of Rhyl. 😎 it was so great to see a bunch of homies. Particularly elder Jensen and elder Humphries. Legends them 2. (: so much fun, and we had such a great and spirit filled zone meeting as well. Good to catch up with everybody. We traveled for ages on buses after that and cruised on over to the bus depot, because we lost our phone on a bus the day before. 😶 luckily they had it. (: we did some stuff that night... I can't remember what...

It's ya Bois.

Wednesday! We had 3 appointments scattered throughout the day that all fell through. One of them was with that man I talked about last week mike. Half hour bus ride then half hour walk out to his house. His Book of Mormon was on his porch with a note saying never come back. Gotta love that. 😜 So we did a lot of finding that day, and were able to meet one super solid lady named Rita. She had problems with religion mostly because a lot of people just treat it as a Sunday only thing. She loved what we said about it being a lifestyle and a commitment. She then asked a beautiful question, "if there's only one Jesus why is there so many churches?". We were like ahhhhh yeah well tell you that. 😎 haha. (: she was great. That night we were trying by some people and finished up a bit early before ward coordination. We were like let's go try by this former investigator named Dee. We rocked up to her house and there was the sisters teaching her on her doorstep. Stealing our investigators. 😜 haha it was pretty funny, and I wasn't bothered. It's all the Lords work. (:

Thursday we planned some weekly planneringers. After that we tracted a bunch of this area called upper Aston. Our good friend Dave told us he's felt for years that missionaries should tract up there. So we've been smashing out some streets for the past little while. We finally met these 2 super nice dudes, Sebi and Selee from Romania! They were hilarious and super nice and interested. One of them spoke better English than the other so we gave him a Book of Mormon, and have been trying to find a Hungarian Book of Mormon for the other. (Not sure why he is Romanian but speaks Hungarian) they were great. We will be seeing them tomorrow. (: we saw Dave for a bit and then had tea with the Quick family. It was real good. (: we tracted some more that night with no luck.

Yep.

Friday! We quickly helped out some members that morning out in a pretty faraway town. They came and picked us up cause it's out in the middle of nowhere. They were dropping us off after in a city named Mold and I noticed a mans house who we hadn't taught anything but he had told us we could come back. So me and elder Stiff bumped on over there and ended up having a super great lesson with him. It was perfect timing because he expressed he's been feeling like he wants religion to have more presence in his life so he doesn't get blown about by the adversary. So that was great. (: His name is Vince and we will see him next week sometime I think. The rest of the day was pretty slow. We traveled really far to Upton, to try by a media referral from Luanda. We just caught him in and he told us to come back on an evening. So hopefully we'll be able to see him soon as well. (:

Saturday morning we had a lesson a former investigator, who isn't interested in anything really, so he will stay a former investigator. Good man though. (: The traffic was crazy on Saturday because it was a super nice day, so buses took ages. I met a super nice dude on the bus named Dave. We just talked for a while then before he had to get off quick talked about the Book of Mormon. He took one and gave me his number so hopefully we'll be able to meet up with him sometime this week. (: We had a really good lesson with a man named John that night. We had this really great lesson planned for him, but when we got in there we were just not feeling that lesson at all. It was weird because the spirit said not to teach that, but didn't tell us what to teach haha. I opened the Book of Mormon to one of my favorite chapters Alma 7 and so we used that. It ended up with a really strong spirit so that was some real good stuff. (: It seemed to resonate with him. Interesting how the spirit works sometimes. (:

Sunday we had church then traveled down to Chorley for a sleepover. We had to go because we had a big meeting thing this morning. We got to see the temple for a moment which was pretty dope. There was 10 elders in this tiny little flat. One bathroom. It was madness to say the least. It was a good time. (:

History tour.

Today has been so solid! We had the mission history tour. It was south zones today and tomorrow is the north zones. It was so much stinking fun! South zones has loads of people from my group and it was a blast. It was our 8 month mark so we took a quality picture of all the people in our group in the south zones. It was so fun all day just hanging out with loads of good friends visiting the quality history of our mission. (:

Well the work has been super slow lately. Basically since I got here. It can be frustrating at times, but we are trying to keep a positive attitude about it, and know that the lord is trying to help us become better missionaries. So there's not a lot going on, but I got a couple tender mercies this week which were most enjoyable. I learned that a couple people I had tracted into in Rhyl have been tracted into again and are being taught. Elder Jensen told me that my boy Rob from the spar in Rhyl is doing great and has a lot of real intent, progressing well. (: still a true homie as well. So it was really nice for me to see some of my work in Rhyl continuing on. Missionaries don't often get to see the results from their efforts. 99% of the time we don't, so that was really nice for me. (: I also talked to the true dad elder Korth on the phone. Then got to talk to my main man elder Cepeda on the phone as well. So good to talk to them, nice and uplifting. (: so it's been great! 

We keep on pressing on! I love this work, and I love my savior Jesus Christ. I am so grateful to be called to declare his word. Love you all! Have a great week! (:

-Elder Edwards

Mish

Hey everybody! So there's not a lot to report for this email, the work is really slow right now. I'll try my best to get a halfway email tho. 😜

Monday we had the campfire chillin, and chillin some more with pingin and a pongin. It was a great and really refreshing p day. Always so good to get a little bit of chillin in. (: that night we had an appointment fall through, and I can't remember what we did instead. We did some missionary work stuffs though I'm sure of that. 😜

How to ride a zipline like a hoopdy.

Tuesday we did some tracting and visited some people in a town called Blacon. It was good but nobody was really interested. We enjoyed it though. We had a reach in activity thing at the church that night. It was fun I hung out with this little kid Jeremy there who's mom is less active and we played some connect 4. Then the illest member ever drove us home and tossed a couple drifts into the ride home. 😂 he's hilarious.

Wednesday was the first beautiful day we've had in a while so we were out rocking the short sleeve shirts. 😎 We had an appointment with our investigator John that morning. It was really good we just talked about Alma 32 the seed of faith and he seemed to really like it. So that was good stuff. We had a couple of appointments fall through in Blacon that afternoon so we did some stuff and yeah. Not a lot to say about it. Nobody was interested so we just had a good time getting rejected. 😎😜

Thursday we took a bus out to Flint because we are really feeling that area. We tracted king Edward drive. 😎 The entire street nobody listened but then the last house this lady was really kind. She has been struggling with depression and stuff and we were able to testify about the Book of Mormon and Jesus Christ and the atonement and it really seemed to help. Hopefully we will be able to see her soon. (: We had an appointment fall through that night so we did some tracting. Talked to some nice people. (:

Friday we had an appointment fall through, then we walked like 45 minutes out to a little town that the buses don't go to. We tracted for like 2 hours in the pouring rain with nothing until we finally met a man who was really interested and invited us into his home. He is super family orientated and gladly took a Book of Mormon. We will be seeing him this week, he's a pilot as well which is pretty sick. (:

Cathedral stuffs with tha boys.

Saturday morning all the Chester missionaries blitzed an area in Ewloe. It was enjoyable we were able to talk to a lot of nice people, not so many interested people though but that's all good. Haha so here in England/Wales the teenagers who cause a ruckus and be hooligans are called chavs. There was this lady we were talking to for a while about the gospel. She wasn't interested so we said have a great day and well see you later. She said "see ya later chavs!" Haha me and Elder Stiff were laughing pretty hard about that. It was an honour. ☺️ We had a couple great lessons with some members that night which was good. (:

Well there's not really much else to report. It's been a good week, but it's been slow. We just keep working and looking forward with faith to what God has in store for us and for this area. (: I'm so grateful to be a missionary. I'm so grateful for the atonement it has absolutely changed my life. The peace it brings is incredible and I am so lucky to be able to be a missionary and share that with people. 

Thanks all, have a great week! Love yous! (:

Flake

Hey all! So I'm going to apologize rn (rn means "right now") this email prolly isn't going to be super exciting. Lots of investigators being flaky and stuffs like that. But it's been great! No worries! 😁

Monday we went to the trampoline park and it was amazing and ended up getting Pizza Hut all you can eat again, with a bunch of missionaries. That was a good time. It feels quite unpleasant after eating all you can eat pizza. But so good. 😜

Last p day.

Tuesday we had a great last district meeting of the transfer. It was so good, the spirit was so strong and it was nice to end off the transfer with such a great meeting. (: that whole afternoon slash evening me and Elder Stiff tracted and tried by loads of people but nothing really happened. That is until that evening. 😂 we knocked on a less active mans door. He opens door and says "I'm on crack cocaine and heroin come on in!" Then he turned around and walked back into his house. So obviously we went in. 😜 haha he was a funny man, has a thousand old records, talked about music and stuff. He was nice. (:

We found a homie.

Wednesday we did some service with the zone leaders for a man named Abdul. It was a good time. He's restoring this old restaurant that's super crazy mingin. Abdul is a funny funny man, it was fun. 😜 me and Elder Stiff traveled ages out to Holywell for tea with a less active family. It was great they are super nice. Long bus ride though. We then had ward coordination that night. Haha so we got back that night and tried by an investigator of ours. We had a great quick little lesson with her on her doorstep and we were heading back to our flat and got back at about 9:15. Our apartment complex has this electric keypad thing to get into the building. And it was broke. 😐 we tried for like 10 minutes to get in but to no avail. We decided to go buy some chips cause we were starving and hope it would be working by the time we got back. Chippy was closed and it wasn't working when we got back. So we snagged a bus and went and slept over with the zone leaders. So that was a good time. 😜 Quite the adventure.

When Elder Van Dyken's sweater holds your cereal for you.

Thursday we cruised on back to our flat and luckily somebody had propped open the front door. So that was good. We weekly planned, then tracted and tried by with no luck. Can't really remember what else. 

Friday we did some tracting which was no good. We tracted Laurels drive. 😜 shout out to me mum. We had tea with the Sinclair family that night which was great. They are super nice. We met a super great lady that night! Her name is Julie and she really needs some help in her life. She's been struggling with life's stuff lately, and gladly took a Book of Mormon. We will see her again this week. (:

Derek's baptism.

Saturday was Dereks baptism! It was so great. Derek is such a good man, and will make a great member. He is so stinking solid. (: 2 people told me and Elder Stiff that they would come to the baptism and even had lifts sorted but didn't show. That was lame. But it was a great service. (: we saw Dave again that night. He's always such a homie. (:

4 people told us they were going to be coming to church on Sunday and nobody showed up. But then right before the sacrament started Martin and Camilla showed up! So that was great. Super good to have them there. (: We saw Chris again that evening. He is a great man and believes strongly in Jesus Christ. But we're probably going to give him a month or two because for some reason he keeps saying he will be baptized when is health is back. So he's just putting it off. Our area Book told us that it's been going like that for the past 5 years. So we will give it a little break and see how that goes. (: 

Zone leaders told us what's up for transfers! We staying. (: the whole district is staying except for Sister Carle who is leaving. also shout out to elders Korth and Cepeda who are gonna be training.  Legends. 😎

Chillaxin.

Today has been great so far. It's been super chill. We had a fire with some food at the zone leaders flat on their back patio. It was way fun. Elder Van Dyken is the most qualitiest singer and guitar player I've ever heard in my entire life, so for a while we just chilled listening to him. (: that's my week! Love you all and have a great week. (:
