Hey everybody! Sorry this email is late. Its been a wild day
so far. Yesterday, being labor day, meant that the church employment center was
closed which disallowed us to email. I went to Abbotsford for a doctors
appointment after a temple trip in Langley this morning.
This will probably be a pretty short. Yesterday Ian came to
church and the day before we had another meeting with him to see how he was
doing. Is Ian making much progress? In our eyes, not really but perhaps in the
eyes of the Lord. We passed Joshua off the
the Langley Elders and they had a lesson with him the other night. We haven't
heard how it went since we asked them just a few hours before the appointment
started.
On Friday we came across the name Jamie in our area book. We invited Jamie to our ward corn roast that kicks off tonight at
5:00 pm. He replied to our text saying that he was taught by missionaries in 2003
though, he can't remember what he learned from them. He said that he would come
to the activity. We taught him the restoration the following day and it was
a solid lesson. The idea of the great apostasy makes a lot of sense. He loves
the idea of new prophets as well!
Another big event was the mission farewell of our beloved
friend, John B. He's been going out with the missionaries in the ward
pretty much daily. He had an open house Sunday night and there was a ton of
people there. We'll miss him a lot and we wish him well in his mission Cebu in
the Philippines. He leaves tomorrow morning. I know perfectly well that you
want a photo with him, so here you go! John is in the gray suit and his mother
and younger sister are in the bottom left corner:
It's truly hard to believe that a year ago this past week I
left Nanaimo and was placed in Abbotsford. The 20th month of my mission is here
(not that I'm counting or anything). Hope you've enjoyed your labor day weekend
and the start of the new month. Bye for now!
Elder Maclean Samis
