Hey Everyone, sorry this is so late, my P day unexpectedly got changed back to Saturday's, so I couldn't write an email.  This past week and a half has been one of the busiest of my mission so far! Last Tuesday we had 2 Baptisms! They are 2 daughters of a member that wasn't coming for a long time, but now is coming back to full activity because she has seen the gospel changing her daughter's. It was amazing, and I was able to give one of them the gift of the Holy Ghost. The rest of the week was full of lots of Miracles. On Sunday night at 8:30, I was told that I would be getting transferred back down to Bristol! Since I have come to the UK I was in Merthyr Tydfil, and then got transferred to Bristol. Then I got transferred back to Merthyr Tydfil, and now am going back to Bristol. On Sunday when I found out, I was told I needed to be down to Bristol by 2pm the next day so I was up all night packing. The other day, Elder Shockley and Bagley(my new companions) and I went t...

Hey Everyone, This week was great. It will be a short and sweet one but a cool miracle. About 2 months ago, we were driving to some flats to knock on some doors. I tried to get there, but accidentally drove to the wrong ones. Since we were there, we decided to knock those ones instead. A big dog scared us half to death, and afterwards a lady came up and we started talking to her. She seemed down, so we just testified of Christ's love for her and she got super emotional. She took our number but we didn't get hers.  Over the next couple of weeks we kept stopping by but no one was home. We had slipped pass along cards through the Mail Slot. A month later she messaged us that she had been in hospital for Mental Health, and that her dad had grabbed all of the cards and given them to her. Over the next couple of weeks she started praying and Reading the Book of Mormon, and said while she was having trouble understanding everything, it was bringing her so much peace. On Friday she mes...

This week has been so hectic but so powerful! If you don't read the whole Email, READ THE LAST PARAGRAPH!!! On Tuesday we ended up street Contacting most of the day. We were able to find 4 new friends which was pretty awesome. On Wednesday I went out to Newcastle Emlyn for an exchange with Elder Matheson. There were probably 20 different people that told us that they would not believe the Book of Mormon was true, even if God came down and told them it was. Also, some Jehovah Witnesses bashed us pretty hard. It was a fun day.  We had Zone Conference and exchanges with the AP's. I was with Elder Kintner, who I used to live with in Bristol. It was a lot of fun catching up. At one point we went to a lady's house for a lesson, and it was a flat above a shop. It was one of those that you walk into the door, and then there are 2 different flats inside. We walked in, and at first thought we were standing in someone's living room. Thankfully we were not breaking in. My companion...

Hey Everyone, it was such a great week! Just so that everyone is aware, I am now officially Famous. If you stayed on watching after the Conference session to the World Report, it showed a picture of my mission when the Apostles visited. Granted, you can't see me almost at all, but that's not what matters.  Also, they announced a Temple to be Built in Birmingham, United Kingdom! That was so cool. I can't wait for that to come. This week, we had Exchanges with the Aberystwyth Elders. It was so good, and we were on the edge of nowhere. We had some powerful lessons, and watching people feel the spirit for the first time is unmatched. Unfortunately, Josh, who we have been teaching and was supposed to get Baptized on April 2nd, was not able to. His Mom decided to withhold consent, so he can no longer be Baptized until he is 18. If you could all pray for him and his mom, that would be much appreciated. Anyway, General Conference was absolutely amazing, I loved every minute of it! ...
