Tried to start cleaning our flat this morning, got about almost half done, will have to get the other half finished before we go back
One the plus side though I managed to secure us dinner appointments every day this week! he he he, and even one with the Relief Society President, so hopefully more will follow, but they took the November sheet (they have a schedule sheet) into RS and when it came back it was like 1/3 full! With all the Sunday's full for lunch! So it will be good
One of our investigators (actually his mother) refused to allow us to continue teaching them because they'd taken the Book of Mormon to their pastor and they'd told them that basically it was evil! so..... well there you go.We managed to get back with one of our investigator's who's mother had also been trying to kick us out! We met her as she was getting out of the taxi from school, and she is currently studying for her exams, so I offered to come and help her with her chemistry! And when we went the mother was actually quite nice to us, and changed her opinion (unspokenly) of us! Which was nice.
The other amazing thing was that we were coming out of a dinner appointment with a member, and there was a guy who was just going into the gate of his house opposite, so I decided to go and speak to him.
Anyway the next morning we get a call! Turns out it was the wife of the man I gave the card to and she wanted us to come over and teach her more! We go and she has her friend there too! It was amazing! I was so amazed that finally somebody called the number on the card!
She also came to church on Sunday! The members that live close to her were kind enough to bring her to church with them which was amazing!
It was the primary presentation at church this week as well! (Stake President was there for some reason) It was actually okay, although a lot of kids that were there, and most of them only got up to say 1 line! Bit of a difference to our primary presentation when there only used to be like 6 of us! he he he!
For the mission prep class I decided to do something different (because i'd forgotten to prepare the lesson) so I tried to teach them the history of the book of mormon, mainly from Omni to Mosiah.
Another thing, Elder Adamson is back!! He came back this Tuesday and I saw him at Zone meeting on Friday! It was so good to see him back! He'd been serving for 3 months in the London Mission while he was waiting for his visa to come through!
But it was very good to see him again
Today we went mini golfing and I won :P
It was actually very enjoyable and reminded me a lot of the times when we went mini golfing in Seahouses and also real golfing up at Haggerston Castle, something that I would really like to do when I get home!We are moving into the new church next week! It's actually right next door to where we currently meet, but it's nicer and it is a lot bigger!!
The other big thing is that we finally put one of our most promising families on date! It was actually Elder Stevenson who was leading the lesson and extended the commitment! He is such a great guy, we get along well and he is a very good missionary! I like working with him a lot!
A miracle we had! We here going to see a less active family, and on the way I got confused and went the wrong way and ended up on the road of a different family, but we figured to just go there instead. We sat down and had a good message. Turns out that the woman had divorced her husband back in February and that yesterday was her anniversary, so it was amazing that we turned up on that day and were able to lift her up!
Tomorrow we are going to the Keizer's to give some service there. They are currently building some stuff and they want to recycle the old bricks. So what we do is we get a hammer and a chisel and break off the cement from the bricks, so they can use them for like landscaping and stuff!
Love Jack!
