Hello!

      So this week was cool, last monday we went to Truro! It's pretty much the only city in Cornwall. They had a lot of shopping areas and a huge Cathedral. We were able to go inside of it and it was sketchy. I was kinda scared being in there. Man i love our Temples, much more peaceful and spiritual. That day we just walked around and enjoyed the sun! I bought a lime green soccerball and a Cornesh flag!! T
     That monday night we went knocking in a tiny village in Godolphin. We knocked on many doors and no success at all.. i knocked on one of our last doors for the day and this elderly woman aswered the door and looked at me and said "Friends??..!" I was like... "Yep! we are your friends! We want to share a message with you about the Book of Mormon!" she smiled and said "oh yes please come in!" So we did and we sat down and she gave us orange juice and some snacks.. she was really sweet, we got to know her and she loves animals and stuff...So when we were able to finally teach her after getting to know her for like an hour, we taught her the Restoration of course, and when we taught her she was just crying the whole time, it was great! She kept saying she feels so good inside and so was I! she loved listening to us! I gave her the Book of Mormon and asked her if she would read and pray about this book and ask Heavenly Father if its true, and she just kept crying and said "well I already know it's true!" It was awesome! When she realized I was actually giving the book to her she just started crying even more cause she was so grateful that we were giving her a free book. Ha ha. She promised she would read it "everyday". It all made sense to her and she just loved the message! She kept saying how gorgeous we were...haha. And also how grateful she was that we knocked on her door. She said she loves us so much as if we were her own kids. Ha ha. She is an 86 year old woman and she is so awesome! She kept saying how wonderful our parents are and said "Oh I just know that your parents are just so wonderful because they raised such wonderful boys that are willing to go out and knock on peoples doors to be their friends and teach them about Jesus Christ!" She just kept going on and on with these wonderful comments about us and our families. It was a wonderful experience!
      Five days ago we were on exchanges. I went to Red Ruth's area with another greeny (new missionary) so it was 2 brand new missionaries together. We were a little sketched, haha. We visited a few people and the missionary didn't know what to do or say half the time. So I was teaching the whole time pretty much.. haha it was great though because i learned alot about being prepared! Funny quick story: so we were on the bus, there was only about 6 people on this big bus. We sat behind this couple, a huge black guy and his lady friend. It was quiet until we stopped and picked up this one guy and the guy we picked up looked stoned. He sat kinda next to us and when he sat down he just started singing really loud in an african language. It was really awkward and annoying...ha ha I heard the black guy in front of us making fun of him, ha ha so we had to hear this guy sing for about 20 minutes with no one on the bus really. When our stop came we got up as well as the singing guy and when he stood up his whole butt was hanging out of his pants and when the black guy saw it he just threw his hands up in the air and said "AAAHHHH!!! come on!!! man!!" and smiled and looked back at me like are you serious man. We both laughed and said a couple of things and we got off the bus. Ha ha. It was funny. I don't know if this all made sense but it was funny! I filmed the guy singing for a little bit so I'll show you guys when I get home. :)
Well I wish I had more time to tell you about my week! A lot of sweet things happened! I witnessed the spirit so strongly in a teach during that one exchange I had, it was a feeling in my heart that I've never experienced in my life before. I felt so prompted to share a message about prayer with this one less active lady, and when I shared it, it just seemed like it was a perfect message she needed to hear, and she even said thank you so much for that message. It was the exact message I needed to hear, and she was teary eyed! :) It was a wonderful feeling I had that I will never forget! Anyways I gotta go play some ball! We're going to the temple tomorrow! It's my last conference with our current mission president! It's gonna be a sad day!

I love all of you thanks for all your support!
cheers!

Love Elda Kella! ;)
