Here in Merthyr Tydfil things continue to progress well.
We had a lesson with Lee and Christine. They are a young family who the Merthyr 2nd Elders ran into at Cyfarthfa Park. Since they live within our ward boundaries we are working in unity to teach them the lessons.
We decided to delve into the Book of Mormon with them and read about Nephi's three attempts to retrieve the plates. It was a powerful lesson because the doctrine had an opportunity to speak for itself.
Just yesterday I had the opportunity to attend one of the public lectures for the Berean Christadelphian congregation that met in the Nelson Community Hall just south of Merthyr. There were about 7 members there making our presence significant.
The lecture was a great opportunity to understand the beliefs of this small group of faithful people and there is one quote that stuck out in particular. The lecturer, Philip, said,
"You already know what I am going to say, but I am going to let the scriptures say it."
I am starting to learn that I don't need to re-invent the wheel to teach the gospel, God has provided the scriptures to do just that.
Have a great week!

Pic #2 - sportsmanship and marksmanship are rare pastimes here with the gun laws, Brother Valentine though is avid in both
Pic #3 - waiting to attend our ward council, that phrase is a Welsh classic
