GETTING FILLED
Another week gone, and the first full week in the 2nd area
of my mission. How crazy does it feel that I'm a third of the way done
already?? Pretty scary! The weather has continued to be great here in
Abbotsford. It hasn't rained a drop since I arrived and there has
been no snow either for that matter. :)
So glad we have a washer and dryer in our apartment now. I
just love our new suite! Now we can actually have a fun pday! We played some soccer
last week in the field over by the Siek temple which is just accross the
street from our church. The north west part of our area is like
98% East Indian and almost everyone has a huge house.
On Tuesday morning we helped out a member of the ward named
brother B. We loaded up his truck and he took us out for lunch
before he drove out to his new place in Chillawack. Then
we hurried off to Langley for our zone meeting.
On Wednesday we had a district meeting in Chillawack. Our district leader, Elder Maura is awesome! He's from New Zealand and has been out for only 3 months! The fact that he's so new and a great leader is really admirable. His companion, Elder Koanohi is a greeny from Hawaii.
As for teaching, we've been working with Chris who
has lost his baptisimal date for the time being. We taught him the word of
wisdom. He likes the idea but isn't too sure about the coffee thing yet. He
still deffinately has real intent though. We ate dinner with a member named
Brother G. He's from Quebec and he has a daughter. He invited a former
investigator named Myriah, who is Native and has a couple of young children.
She's been taught by missionaries in the past but over the past few months
has gone through some personal struggles. She's rock solid and is sure to
be baptised once we've taught her everything.
Friday night we ate at Jeremy's place. He told
us a bunch of wacky stories about his mission in Japan and we had some great
laughs. Jeremy is crazy, but in the best way possible. His 4 teenaged kids
have been out of school due to the big strike here in BC so they must get
bored around the house all day. It seem to be a treat to them whenever we go
over for a visit.
We've had 6 meal appointments this week. I don't seem
to be getting fat yet but we'll have to see how long that will last! If I do gain weight, it may be for the better anyways. :P Beacuse our apartment is so big, there's a lot
you can do for workouts which is nice.
Well it's been a great start to the new area. Elder Lamb has
only been in the area for 7 weeks but he knows everyone it seems. He's quite
the popular guy around the ward. The members just love him! He's done a
fine job helping me adjust to this new area and I'm really thankful for
that. Hope everyones been having a good week at this new year of school. Talk
to you all nest Monday!
Sincerely,
Elder Maclean Samis
