Rugby - where it all happened



1. So there is this legend here about how this kid in 1823 named William Webb Ellis caught the ball and started to run with it during a game of football. Upon further development, the game of Rugby came to be. 

2. This is Rugby School, where it all happened. This school is kind of a big deal, people come from all over to go here. Its basically like Hogwarts. 

3. This is that train station in north Wales. The lines dividing it are for ease of learning how to say it. Remember in Welsh that ll make the spit sound, f makes v sound, ff makes f sound, w makes u sound, and ch is a gutteral throat sound. Good luck. I'm sure you could find some youtube videos on this. 

Christmas, Christmas, Christmas. I hope you all enjoyed it. I am sad to have missed the family nativity. Thankfully, our ward had multiple nativities so that was pretty awesome, and reminded us all of the true meaning of Christmas. On Christmas morning I read Matthew 1-2 and Luke 1-2. The verse that hit me with the most power was Matthew 1:21,  "And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins." That's so awesome! Jesus will save us from our sins! And I get to share that with people every day! I love it. 

Love, 

Elder Poulsen
