Update

Hello Family,

I thought I'd send a general update this week because I actually have a couple of things to say. On Tuesday of this week we went to the edge of our area to a town called Llanrwst. It was gorgeous, and we actually found someone named Alan. He not only listened to us in Llanrwst but he has taken the hour and a half bus ride to church twice this last week for a lesson and for church. He is doing fantastic. He is 76 and likes to tell us about all of the "young, beautiful women" he meets on the bus (these women are in their 60's at least). It's pretty creepy, but very amusing. He also has told us about how he prayed to know if the love of his life actually loved him back, which sounded pretty sweet until we found out that "the love of his life" was a woman with dementia that he met in a residential home. He went up to her and asked "are you married?" She responded "no" so then he asked "will you marry me?" and she said "yes". She no longer remembers who he is unfortunately (and not surprisingly). He seems to be bouncing back pretty quickly though, apparently the woman he met on the bus yesterday is his next prospect for marriage. I know he sounds really wacky, but he is all there and he is progressing great, I just wish he was married.

The other really positive note is that I have been running every day this transfer so far (except Sundays and zone conference) and I have kept to my healthy food. The only time I don't eat healthy is when members feed us.. Other than that, it's just the same good stuff here in Colwyn Bay. The weather is much nicer and things are starting to bloom, so that is great. Life is good and I'm almost 20. Woo!

Thank you for the emails and the love.

love,

Elder Misbach
