This week was not too eventful:
Monday we had P-day and had to plan for our Zone
Training Meeting.
Tuesday was Canada Day. We went to the Stake
activity and played softball and then spent the rest of the day stopping by
prospective Elders and some of our other investigators and then went down to
the Wascana Park where the big Canada Day celebration was and walked around and
talked with a few people!
Wednesday we gave our Zone Training Meeting,
which was good, went for lunch as a Zone and taught a few lessons. We visited
C and taught him about temples, then we exchanged with Sunrise Elders.
Thursday we had almost everything planned fall
through but still managed to stay pretty busy.
Friday we got stabbed and gave blood at the
donor clinic then weekly planned and did our online proselyting and stopped by
a bunch of referrals and others.
Saturday we had our missionary correlation
meeting with our ward mission leader and had lunch at his house and then we
talked with a few people and then went to a lesson with J at the Church
and he didn't show up. C, a
less active who I had met in Brandon and who Elder Petersen had met in Winnipeg
on a bus, was hitch hiking his way back to Vancouver and needed some assistance
so we were able to share a message with him and through lots of trial and phone
calls we were able to get him a bus ticket to Vancouver. After that we went and
had dinner and taught H. X was sleeping but H had another of
his Chinese friends over who had no religious background there and we were able
to teach him about God and Prayer.
Sunday no one came to church that we had invited
which is always sad, and even more upsetting was that we got a text from one of
our new investigators who had never been at church before. He said that he was
15 minutes late to church and that the doors to the chapel were closed and as
he went to open them some guy in the foyer told him he was late and that he
couldn't go in so he left...so that was no good. We later found out why J didn't come to the church was because his mom's sister had a heart attack in the
Hospital, so we had the opportunity after church to go and give F's
sister a priesthood blessing and her brother in law a blessing as well and
neither of them were members. We also were able to teach J his last lesson
and he is now ready to be baptized next weekend. We then were able to pray with
all of F and J's family and the other family that were waiting in
the waiting room who we didn't know! IT was a great blessing to be able to
serve and help those who were in need. Also were able to contact 40 referrals that
were given to us by a man who served in Regina in 1998. We called all of the
numbers and only 2 out of forty were actually the right number and one was not
interested and the other was dead. But, after that, we had a great Filipino
dinner at the Cardonas and then we took indicators.
Love you! Hope that you have a great week! :)
