Life had been great in Wales. This last week has been so fast, wow. We have a busy day today as well. Sorry I couldnt write you yesterday, it was a holiday and the library was closed. Today is great because we have a lesson with Lliam, who is an alcoholic and he wants to recover so were going to do everything we can to seek as much help as he can get from the Lord. He doesnt believe in God at all so we have to begin there.

 

We also have a great experience to have dinner at Elder Donadson home, from the seventy. He is so great, he is in the ward here in Rhyl and he got up to bear his testimony and it was so good. I can just feel the spirit when I am in his presence. So we have to be on our absolute best behavior tonight from good manners to sharing a good lesson. We prepared to shre a lesson on Ammon and how he is an example to the King by tending his horses.

 

Friday was the Royal Wedding. It was kind of boring and we got to watch it on television and an investigators house. But it was the biggest thing happening and everone treated it like a huge celabration. Flags were up with pictures of the couples faces on them and they were everywhere. We were walking outside and it was a ghost town becaus everyone was inside watching it. It was quite the experience I'll tell you what.

 

This last week I have learned a bit about faith and how important it is to obtain this Christlike attribute. I read that even seeing is not enough to believe and that it requires faith to see the miracles that god gives us in our lives. Instead of looking for ways that Heavenly Father didn't bless us, we need to look at all the blessings we have received and that is why I think that so many people deny their belief in God. We must study and pray often to keep that relationship and faith strong or it will slowly or even rapidly fall away.

On Sunday after dinner time, Elder Eliason and I said a prayer to begin finding again and we prayed that we may find a investigator that would be excited about the message of the restored gospel and the Book of Mormon. Right as we walked out to the street from our flat, we contacted a man named Nathan who was just riding his bike and we were able to have a lesson on the spot. It was such a great lesson and Nathan was so happy we ran into him. He accepted baptism and a date and was so excited to read from the Book of Mormon. I can't wait to meet with him again.

 

Thank you for all the support you give to me, it means a lot. I look forward from your emails and all the family's emails as well. Hope you have a wonderfull week, and tell everyone i say hi.
