As we move towards July, so ends another week in the field.
Elder Tolman came here on Wednesday morning and we immediately got to work. The
same day Elder Tolman got a pretty interesting first look at what can sometimes
happen in Surrey. We were waiting for the bus and street contacting at the
Guildford mall bus terminal when a man who was clearly under the influence of
something approached me and got in my face a little. He wasn't angry at me but
he talked about his poor posture and how he just had surgery even though I
couldn't understand what he was saying. Next thing I knew he started walking
backwards into the busy traffic! A lady who realized what he was doing grabbed
his arm and pulled him away and he collapsed on to the side walk seemingly in
lala land. Elder Lawlor called 911 and a fire engine and an ambulance came to
help. We caught our bus home for lunch just after. So what happened in Surrey
this week? Uh-huh, we just about saw a man get killed.
In terms of teaching, we've been once again trying to teach
Levi and Sonya about the nature of God though it seems like what we're trying
to do is limited because of the language barrier. They told us that they aren't
interested in going to the Richmond Chinese Ward because they want to be with
the Cardwells when they go to church. Elder Lawlor has been doing a great job
at helping them. He used to teach English to a kindergarten class when he lived
in Japan.
We also taught a guy named David yesterday and gave him a
church tour. Even though he has his own unique ideas about God, he is opened
to learning more about the church. His father and his family are Mormon. Unfortunately, Jonathan has been getting really flaky again lately. Other then that there isn't too much to talk about. Stake conference was this
past weekend. Hope all is
well for those of you who are out of school. Have a great first week of July!
