Hola mis amigos,
This
week was awesome and packed with a ridiculous amount of stuff we did, and
spiritual experiences, as usual. :)
Sadly we
can't seem to escape the office lately because of a whole bunch of stuff coming
up that we have to get ready for. A couple big service events,
smartphones and Facebook being implemented mission-wide, zone conference coming
up, another MLC meeting this week, I could go on and on. But we did get
to do a good amount of proselyting this week!
We had another great lesson with Sarah followed by some bad news.
She was progressing and everything, but then told us that she was moving to
Fort Mac for the rest of the summer. From what she said it sounded like
she was pretty much already gone, but then a few nights later we saw her from a
distance walking around her townhouse complex.... Yeah weird.

We taught Tanesor again! I was on
exchanges in Ellerslie when it happened, but apparently it went really well and
he remembers a lot of the Plan of Salvation and the importance of baptism. He
is awesome. Sadly he couldn't make it to church though. Ray is doing well too, he is starting to get
involved in ARP which will be really good for him.
I have a bunch of funny stories I could tell
from our finding this week such as a lady borrowing our phone to call someone
to bring her a pair of pants cuz she had just soiled hers, us confounding a guy
who was trying to roast us and him telling us to ask "the darkest of the dark"
black man cuz they will "know more about why we suck", random people telling us
about their bowel problems, etc.

But I will tell a cool spiritual story.
:) We were LRT contacting (train
contacting) and I went and sat next to a girl because it was the only
open seat. Before I could start a conversation, this member across the
aisle started talking to me and asking me all these questions. Just a
piece of advice for all you, if you see a missionary out contacting, don't ruin
their contacting. :) Anyways, I didn't get to talk to the girl I sat next to at
all and I felt terrible because I could tell the Spirit was telling me that it was important
that I talk to her. Probably 20 minutes later we arrived back at the stop
the girl got off at, and I could see across the street the same girl was
waiting at a bus stop! So of course I went stalker mode and high-tailed
it over there and finally talked to her. It was a little awkward breaking the
ice because she probably thought I was totally stalking her, which I honestly kind
of was hahaha. I ended up teaching her about the Book of Mormon and Jesus
Christ and she seems really interested and we are meeting with her this
weekend!

I'm so grateful the Lord gave me a second chance. :) Life is good, the gospel is true, and our
Savior and Father in Heaven live and love us!
Weekly Scripture: 3 Nephi 11:33 And whoso believeth in me, and is
baptized, the same shall be saved; and they are they who shall inherit the
kingdom of God.
