Regarding the Work

Last week, when Will wrote, he was excited to share that they had gotten Baptisimal dates for their new investigators. They were picking up "solid" investigators all the time. They also had 5 inactives at church the previous Sunday and a new investigator that they were going to invite to be baptised on the 26 of June. So hopefully now he has 3 baptismal commitments. He had also given a Home Teaching lesson and had a lot of fun. They were having a hard time hitting the streets to find people because they are so busy teaching.

This week he was able to attend a bar b que in Ponty Priedd. He ended up cooking since he knew how to man a grill. I'm so glad we taught him something useful for his mission! He and Elder Stokes ended up getting into a water fight with all the kids that came out. He said they were soaked to the bone. He didn't mind because the kids got it way worse than they did.

He had been on exchanges with his zone leader Elder Newberry. He enjoyed that Elder Newberry was a hard worker because he was able to feed off the energy that he had.

He then enjoyed a family home evening with a family by the name of Ringsted.


If anyone else has stories that they would like to share let me know so I can get them blogged. I know he is trying to write as many of you as he can. He has been so grateful that he has had so much mail. He is feeling very loved right now by people on both sides of the world. Thank you.

Could you Ask for Anything More

I know! This one is kind of silly. We love holding the actual photos and have them overlapping each other. It really works. You get the whole Preston Temple picture! You just have to puzzle piece it together. Will was able to go three times while at the MTC.

Peaceful Feeling

He loved Preston and often told me how peaceful it was there.

Church Buildings

These old Church Buildings are beautiful and fascinating. Will sends a lot of pictures like these.

He Must Have Needed to Make Room on His Camera

This town was built in 1824. Will says that this is the oldest building he has ever seen.

These pictures were taken on their field trip while in the MTC

Doing Laundry Should Be So Nice

We should all be so lucky as to have a wash room that looks like this. Maybe then I wouldn't mind the chore.











This picture reminds me of the song "Saturday" in the Primary song book. Doing laundry, aren't you proud moms?! *sob*

Happy Memorial Day

William's explanation on the back of this picture simply read,"Words can't describe this emotion"

Home Away From Home

This is William's first flat in Wales. I think it looks beautiful but I can't imagine what the inside might be like. William tells me that there are 6 foot weeds in the backyard with lots of thorns. He is a little afraid to have to go pull them.
