YOU GOT A FRIEND IN ME!!
YOU GOT A FRIEND IN ME!!!
Hey everyone! So glad I
get to talk to you again! This week was pretty good, nothing too crazy was
going on but let us jump right into it!!
On Monday this past week
we went to London to play sports. When we got there the missionaries had locked
themselves out of the Family History Center where their stuff was and the
computers so they could email back home. They were trying to get back in but their
efforts where failing and they were about to lose hope, until I offered to give
it a shot. If there was one thing I learned from going to church back at home,
it was that you could open almost every door there with a metal hanger. So
wouldn't you know that the same principle applied for this door too!! I just
slipped that hanger in there and popped that door right open!! Now everyone
that was there thinks that I am some kinda thug or something. Oh well they can
think whatever they want I guess.
On the way back from
sports we were driving in the middle of a freaking hurricane!!! Crazy storm was
just passing through and was absolutely wrecking us. I took a video of it so
you can see the full effect of this storm because there is no way that I could
explain it in words...I know surprising isn't it.
On Tuesday we volunteered
at the Salvation Army some more and while we were there I decided to climb to
the top of this mountain of clothes that they had and started sorting things
out. Everyone there thought that I was crazy climbing to the top of that pile
just to sort clothes, but they were extremely thankful also.
On Thursday it was Bill's
birthday, the guy I play darts with, and we decided to get him a little gift
and go over and celebrate with him. He doesn't like having his picture taken
like at all! Sooo…. our gift was a framed collage of all of the secret pictures
that we have taken with him. Needless to say he was laughing pretty hard when
we gave it to him.
Friday we were in
Kitchener all day for a Zone Conference. My companion and I actually had to get
up and give an instruction about our purpose as missionaries and why it is
important. It went pretty well and everybody said that they really enjoyed it.
The conference was super good. We got to hear from the Mission President and
his counselors as well as the rest of the mission staff. I am glad that I am
able to go and experience meetings like these as well getting to see a whole
bunch of other missionaries and get to chat with them a bit.
Sunday was an absolute
crazy day!! We were constantly moving from appointment to appointment with no
time in between! We ended up teaching 5 lessons that day with one new person
who is looking into the church!! It was super awesome but also super exhausting
at the same time!
Well that is about all I
got for this week, hope the rest of your week is great and that you continue to
have a great summer!!
