It's been a slow week here at the Brook. We weren't
able to meet with too many of our investigators this week. We saw Charles
last night and he's having thoughts about being baptized. The other
appointments we set with people seemed to flake out on us. Lots going on
in peoples lives I guess. The temple trip on Tuesday was a nice experience.
It's also been a bit more relaxing with general conference sessions to go to
throughout the weekend. It's the closest thing a missionary will get to a
relaxing day outside of p day. The weather has continued to cooperate so there
are many blessings to count despite the hard luck with our new friends.
I've spent too much cash over the past week. There were a
lot of office supplies to buy and we had to eat out a lot with all the
traveling. On Wednesday we went to Karl's Junior which turned out to be a good
place to go. Expensive and bad for you, but still really tasty! :) After that
Elder M and I drove out to Chilliwack for an exchange. We knocked on a lot of
doors and visited a couple of families. We ate dinner with the
S family. They're an awesome family with 3 daughters and a son. When I told
them that I had served in Nanaimo, they broke into conversation about how they
lived there a few years ago and asked me if I knew this family and that. It was
an awesome visit!
It was Brother N. birthday on Saturday night so we
dropped by his place real quick to give him a card that Elder Lamb made. You
have to see it to believe how funny it was! I'll be sure to take a picture of
it (if I can remember) the next time we go to visit the N family.
Really other then what I've mentioned above there isn't too
much to say except general conference was excellent! I loved Jeffery R
Holland's talk about caring for the poor. Elder Christofferson's talk about
keeping your standards far from the world's really spoke to me as well. David A
Bednar's talk to those who are not members of the church was easily my favorite
of the Sunday sessions. I would recommend it to anyone who is unfamiliar with
what the church teaches. It'll be very helpful and help them understand what a
missionaries purpose is.
Well that's all for now. Here's hoping that this week will be
more productive for us. Enjoy the fall everybody!
