Elder Hoopes and I went to Wales again this week! We had two separate districts invite us to come and film them doing whiteboard finding activities. President Gallacher let us pick between going to Cardiff, Wales and Birmingham, England. We figured only one of those locations was actually staying in this mission so we should probably go there. To maximize the trip (which was about and hour and ten minute drive) we also coordinated with the Zone Leaders in Cardiff and they prepared a music number which we will be posting before too long.
The finding activity went incredibly well. I gave out a couple copies of the Book of Mormon and luckily was also able to get numbers for the local missionaries. Welsh people are really cool. Additionally, almost every sign in Wales has both an English and a Welsh version of the text.
In other news, our teaching pool will potentially double this week. One of the cool miracles there involves a couple named Nick and Tanya. We first ran into them on the bus when they loudly started questioning what our church does with tithing. It wasn't a very positive encounter by any means. We next saw them as we were walking from our flat. They were just going down the road and they greeted us like old friends. They are both over forty but kind of act like teenagers. We gave them a copy of the Book of Mormon and had faith it would end up where it was suppose to go, but I didn't think they would be the ones to actually read it. It came as quite the shock just two days ago, when we once again bumped into them in an entirely new part of town, and they told us they read. They proved it by telling us the main character had a weird name that started with "N". So now Elder Hoopes and myself will be going over to their place to watch Book of Mormon videos and start teaching them!
Those are some of the highlights from this week! Have a good one!
