Well folks just as you can be sure that every summer has
it's ending, a missionary will get transferred to a different area (eventually).
August has come and gone fast and so has this past transfer. Now here I am with
the pending possibility of receiving a call that will change my life... you
know, that call that takes you to a new area for the first time? I'm sure a lot
of you former missionaries can relate.
I will be brief with this weeks letter as I don't have much
time. Over the past few weeks, the Nanaimo Sisters have been getting a number
of baptisms. One of the two is going home on Wednesday so it seems like she's
ended her mission on a spiritual high for sure which is great.
Kevin is still struggling mightily with the word of wisdom
and missed church yesterday :(, Bruce is doing better. His baptism has been
pushed back to Oct 4, but I'm sure he'll pull through. Over the last lesson we
taught him we taught about the importance of following the prophet. He loves to read
so we read a conference talk from President Monson all about loving one
another. With the high possibility of me moving on, I gave Bruce one of my
ties for one of his hot wheels as a nice little keep sake at the end of the
lesson.
This week we found a couple of potential investigators. One
of them is Desike, a young woman from Nigeria who came to Canada literally a
day before we tracted into her! She said she wanted to go to church and we gave
her the address but she didn't show up. The same can be said about Amanda who
we talked to on Saturday. She had just moved in a town complex with her husband
and a couple of kids. She said that she had been looking at a lot of churches
and is wondering which is right. She said that she wanted to come to church the
next morning but didn't.
Yesterday Elder Olson caught a ferry to Richmond
where he will be interviewed to become an assistant to President Burt. It's
hard to see him go but I wish him well and know that he will do excellent.
Elder Rolfson has been put in a tri with us until the transfers go through.
Well the next time you get my email I may be in another part of the province,
until then enjoy the long weekend and I'll talk you all later!
Much love from,
Elder Maclean Samis
