I am doing good. The
End.
How did you like that email. Ha-ha
This week has been good.
Most people say that this is how missionary blogs are supposed to start out and
that I should avoid the one liners. We have had great things happen.

We were looking through
our former investigators list and we felt inspired to call a certain lady to
see if we could set an appointment with her. We called and found out that her
mom was actually in the hospital. We asked if we could come by and she said yes.
We went to the hospital and just talked about God and how he helps our lives.
The mother called us her friends even though this was the first time that we
had met her, which was awesome. Even from her hospital bed, she still praised
God and knew that this trial would be for her benefit. Her daughter was the one
on the teaching record and she said that we called at the right time and it was
great that we came. The mother has been released from the hospital and we are
now teaching her and her mother.
We have had a lot of
appointments that fell through but it has given us the opportunity to contact
the buildings and areas around our appointments.
This week, we had an
appointment not show up in the apartment building, so we felt impressed to go
to the top floor. We knocked on only one door and explained who we were and
what our message was. We asked if we could come in. The man said “yes” no
questions asked. We taught him the first lesson and got a return appointment
with him. When you have the spirit with you, it really makes a big
difference.
We taught a French lady
and her son is mentally impaired and so he
has the mind of a five year old but he has the body of a 17 year old. She said
that she wants her son to come to church before she does. It was a really funny
experience. The son who has mental problems, threw pieces of bread at her
earlier in the day. We did the best we could, and left them with a good, warm message.

Really, we haven't had
any bad experiences. The people around here are nice generally and even when
they don't want to listen they just put ear buds in, so it’s all good.
We have been busy on the
go. We went into downtown Toronto on our last P-day and I got to ride the
subway for the first time, it was fun…
I don’t have many
pictures because we are very busy and I don't have any time to sit and take
any. We are going all the time. They say that your mission goes by fast and
that’s because you are always moving fast!
I have learned that
people make their own choices. At a Zone Conference this week, I gave an
instruction on how we need to do all we can… but when people don't take what
you are giving, they are just exercising their agency.
My feet are better. I
had to pop a blister the other day and it has healed and the skin around it is
stronger, kind of a metaphor for life ea’?
We are getting haircuts
today and, yes Mom, I’ll have a professional do this one and I won’t try to do
it myself. ha-ha
Things are well and I am
well. I miss You and pray for you every night!
Love,
