Transfers are up!!!

Creso! (that is like the equivilent of hello in welsh)

So I will start off with the exciting news...transfers are a couple days early this time so i know what the deal is...and...Im staying in Cwmbran for at least another 6 weeks!! And even more exciting news...The Cwmbran ward building will be opening back up this coming Sunday!!! Oh im excited to get to work for the next 6 weeks now. We will have so many returning members this week and hopefully now we can get our investigators to church! I sense some fruits are come our way haha

Another exciting event that transpired over the week is that I got my first hair cut while in the mission field, and bot is it short! haha But its whatever...I like it ofr the time being, but will definitely not get it this short in the future haha Oh and one more thing that happened that was interesting: While on exchanges this week, Elder Cauffman and I met this couple whom the guy was inactive, have received his patriarchal blessing and has the priesthood. He even still keeps his blessing in a safe place, which was cool! But he has traveled far from the iron rod. We got his details and will get into contact with him soon and bring him back to church!! Do Worrkk. ha

The past week has been kinda rough. Everybody just seems to reject us. Its hard when you go like two or three hours in between each good conversation we have on the street, if that makes sense. People here are really stubborn haha But thats okay, I wont let them tie me down. Elder Cadwallader and I have been focusing pretty hard on faith. We just have to go out each day and to each person with the faith that they will be the one. Its definitely said easier than done, but I have already seen blessings coming from having an attitude of faith everywhere I go. I just love the atonement of Jesus Christ. I love how after having the worst day ever and thinking that tomorrow will be the same, you get proven wrong and have the best day ever. I know that only comes through prayer; asking Heavenly Father to help you in your weaknesses. Its inevitable that you will receive weaknesses, it states so in Ether 12:27. But it also states the reason we have these weaknesses; we are given them so that we can have the blessed opportunity to humble ourselves in order to receive blessings. My wish for all of you is that when you are going through a hard time, either physically or spiritually, that you become submissive to the Atonement of Jesus Christ. He was lifted up on the cross so that we can be lifted up in our trials and afflictions. We come to truly know the atonement by coming to Christ first to help us instead of trying the help oursleves first. Always pray and study the scriptures. I love you all!
