Hey Everyone!

So another short email for you....Last monday we did that hike i was telling you about and it was a tiny little hill...haha so here are some pictures of that hill. It was pretty cool. It was an easy hike I must say, about a 15 minute hike. So that was fun. Later that p-day we went back to Helston and we had an appointment to play basketball with some gators!! Sam and Dee and Lestyn who is a less active. We played ball in this ghetto none-used basketball court. It was Sparks and I vs. these 3 guys that are in their early 20's. These guys play for the Cornwall b-ball team, so I was thinking they were going to be really good. We played them going to 11, 3 of them against us 2, and we beat them 15 to 2.......hahaha they actually alright, but they just couldn't make a layup, so we taught them how to make layups haha, it was really fun! Afterwards, we were walking back to Sams car, and right before we got in the car I said "HOLD UP! SPIRITUAL THOUGHT TIME." Haha I almost forgot that we were supposed to teach them after we played cause these guys are really awesome & we all are pretty much best friends. They LOVE Americans! ;) So we gave everyone a Book of Mormon and we read the introduction page. We all read a paragraph each, and the spirit was so with us. It was so great! Sam and Dee had wonderful questions and really wanted to learn more. They said they would read the book of mormon! So we scheduled a bball/lesson appointment, which is tonight! I'm super excited! After we read the intro page, I really testified of the book of mormon like I haven't before, it was a great feeling, Elder Sparks did as well. We know that Dee and Sam really knew what we were saying was true. On our way home in Sams car they were asking a bunch of questions that were simple to answer and explain. I felt like i was on fire!! It always feels great when you're prepared to answer peoples questions. It wasn't me tho...It was the spirit! ;)

The rest of the week has been a bit slow...until the weekend! We taught Ben and Len, as well as Richard! The lessons went really well, we actually found their needs, which I realized I don't focus enough on with out gators...so that kinda helped out a lot, ha so all of that went really well! We also taught John Spires again! He really wants to change, so we are there to help him, but not be his mother all of the time, so we are giving him a 3rd chance to really commit to the things we give him. He is reading the book of mormon again! So hopefully he will keep goin! That day we taugh John in Penzance, we saw a guy sitting on a bench that was completely wiped out haha he spilt his beer while he was sleeping and some really funny things happed while watching him. He was so stoned and drunk and all of that, it was ridiculous, So I had to take a picture. haha.

Anyways I love and miss all of you so much! The work here is slow, but we are working and praying hard! Miracles will happen! We are just waitin for it to come and working hard for it to come! I'm learning so much each day, I just wish I had more experience teaching people!

Cheers! ;)
