Hey all, it's been a quiet week
here on the mission. Things are going back to normal and nothing too out of the
ordinary has occurred. However, with President and Sister Tilleman leaving
tomorrow morning and the looming possibilty that I will leave the only area on my
mission that I have known in the upcoming transfer, it seems likely that it
won't stay that way for much longer. The same usual amount of people found and
our teaching has been a bit low. We've been working with an East Russian guy
named Gannadey and He's awesome! We met him on Friday and taught him the
restoration on Saturday. He's 85 years old, Pentecostal, and he loves the
bible. We gave him a Russian Book of Mormon, taught him the restoration and he
said he would read it.
Bruce is doing well. He didn't
come to church this past week since he was sick. We've taught him the plan of
salvation. He was a little confused about it at first but it seems like he
understands it now. We've also been working with a less active member named
Damion who is the brother of another member in our ward. He's a cool guy and
wants to start going to church again. We're going to his place this Friday for
a hotdog roast the next time we teach him! :)
My birthday is coming up fast
and boy do I ever feel old the more I think about it. By July 3 I will have
lived a couple decades! It's made me reflect a little on how well I have been
taught by my parents, siblings, grandparents, extended family, friends,
leaders, and so many others to give me the support throughout my life. I thank
you all and I love you.
With Canada day coming up, our ward stood up and sang Oh Canada. I thought a lot as I sang the 4th verse of our national anthem, and it dawned on me that as a missionary, it's like I'm standing on guard for it and helping our ruler supreme by preparing it for the "better day." What a cool feeling! That really makes me proud to be Canadian! :D
With that I will end these brief words. Hope you all have a good week and happy Canada day!
