Welcome to a another report from the field! The rain has
really come this week and it appears it wants to stay. It's been so cold over the last
couple days that I had to get out my big grey wool jacket and boy I tell ya, that thing works well against the rain and cold!
We've taught a few lessons here and there but we would have
loved to have taught a lot more. Unfortunately, we had some lessons set up with people we met that fell through. We met
Jignesh on Friday and taught him about the Sabbath and he wants to live it, though, he ended up not making it to church on Sunday again... sigh, the work
goes on.
And what happened on Halloween? Not much. We had a couple
of lessons set up during the afternoon but found out the member
that was to join us had to cancel, as it turned out the people we were supposed to see were
no shows anyway. Funny little story here though, we plan from
6:00 pm-9:00 pm and just before we planned I realized I didn't have a
new planner for the new transfer. Elder Okamoto bailed me out by
giving me one of his planners. The only problem was the entire thing
was in Korean! 😁 I had no reason
to be alarmed though because though I don't know a lick of Korean I am totally
familiar with the layout of the planner so I can figure out where I need to
write everything. Looks like I'll be using it the rest of the transfer!
On Sunday we taught an Iranian man named Shawn
at the church. He's a really nice guy, we called him from one of
our potential lists and he wanted to meet with us the very same day! He didn't
have long to meet, so we taught him a little about the restoration. We will see
him again this Wednesday.
I'm sure you're wondering about Emily and Lei and unfortunately, the news isn't all that good. When we called them early
this week to set up an appointment, Emily told me that they would be really busy and that they would study things on their own
when they could find the time. Perhaps we didn't explain our purpose as well as
we should have because they seem to be treating our meetings a bit casually. Non the less, we will give them a call soon and see what we
can do about setting another appointment up. Wish us luck, and pray for us till
then! Hope everyone has a good first week of November. Till next Monday from
Coquitlam, farewell.
Elder Maclean Samis
