Mormon Street

Hiya!


Hope you all are doing well.


I have had some good lessons these past two weeks. Lots of time to find as well.


On the way, I have had some good sights, and the weather is getting a little warmer. Still not warm enough for a T-shirt though.


I went to Merthyr Tydfil this past week on exchanges. Merthyr is where the church was born in Wales, and all the members know it. It is the only congregation in the entire mission to have two wards meet in one building. The people are very friendly, and the land was beautiful. I visited Thornbury Close (aka Mormon Street. Everyone on the street was baptized when the gospel was first preached), and David O. McKay's mum's house was near it as well.


Yesterday, I went out to the Milford Haven branch for church and had the opportunity to check out St. David's Cathedral, probably one of the most famous cathedrals in the UK. It was also cool because a less active member came to church as well and wants her two children to be taught for baptism. Her husband has finally allowed it.


Today, I am gonna go out to go on a hike and then stuff my face with food at a buffet that a member is taking us out to.


I am on the home stretch, guys! Transfer news comes out today, and I am staying in Llanelli and getting a new companion. That is it.


Looking forward to what will happen in the future.


-Onwards and Upwards

We met with a man this week (The one from Patagonia in the previous email), and we got talking and found out he is the head pastor at 3 Welsh-speaking churches in the area. That is his job. He let us into his Chapel, and we got to look around. It was quite something. On the top of the building (much like our temples), was inscribed the word "Zion". But yeah, it was cool to teach a Welsh Pastor. Don't really see much happening with him though. We also taught Wendy again this week, and this time she cried when she shared about the Plan of Salvation. She is so sweet and humble, and we look forward to continuing to teach her. I pray she joins the church; she would be so good. On Wednesday, we had what I call "Old Person Game Night" at the chapel. Since our congregation is so old (average age of 60), we had an activity with really simple pub games, which included bowls, 9-pins ring toss, and darts. Surprisingly enough,...
