Family and friendsss!
Well first off I need to tell you all that President Vidmar CHANGED OUR P-DAYS TO WEDNESDAYS from now on. This will allow us to break up our week so that we can work harder every day. It will be a little weird but I think that it will really help us not lose motivation towards the end of each week :)
This week we found 2 new investigators and it is a miracle because they are both soo keen! We met with Yi (one of our new investigators) earlier this week and he was so curious about the Gospel. He knows almost nothing so we are teaching from the ground up, which is so fun and actually really nice. During our first lesson we introduced baptism and talked a little about it. We told him that Aleita (sister Cahoon's investigator) was getting baptized on Saturday and then he asked us if he could go and watch!! Like ok this has never happened before. Usually we are the ones asking people (begging them sometimes haha) to come and see a baptism but HE ASKED US! so that was awesome!
He came to the baptism and he LOVED it. He said that he felt super good and could feel peace. He said he felt super awesome and could feel the Holy Ghost!! So amazing. Then on the train on the way home we were talking to this girl, and Yi was pretty much telling her all about our church! He was telling her about missionary work and what we do. Sister Fong and I were seriously blown away! He is amazing and we hope we can continue to work with him and help him!
Also this week on Friday night, things got crazy. hahah Sister Fong and I had just finished our companion prayer and I had just gotten into bed when we heard this super weird and really scary noise coming from our living room. Turns out that our heater is suuuuuper old and even though IT WAS COMPLETELY OFF it was making this loud noise. we thought it was going to explode. long story short because our heater is a gas heater we were a little freaked out and called our zone leaders at 11pm. They couldn't figure out what it would be and they called around to some of the other elders who had lived in our flat previously to see if this had happened before. They then finally got back to us and we all felt that it would be better if we stayed the night at another flat because we were all a little worried about what was going on. The zone leaders told us to grab our stuff real quick and after a few phone calls said we could go to the Waverley Sisters' flat for the night. We grabbed our stuff and left to the Waverley sisters' flat right after midnight.
When we got to the flat we realized we didn't bring a few things. We had forgotten towels for our shower, didn't have our toiletries, I didn't bring shoes and Sister Fong didn't bring a shirt for the next day. BUT when we were panicked and were grabbing our things to leave, I made sure to grab the Weet-Bix (yummy cereal) and Sister Fong grabbed her Patriarchal blessing. We made sure to grab what was really important in case our flat exploded and our stuff was lost. #nice. The people from the office came to look at it and they are going to have someone come to check it out and such. but yeah we just can't really use our heater because kinda weird. but yeah they said it is safe but just feels unsafe. they are also looking for a new flat for us. so hopefully in a couple weeks we will be able to move! Yeah so we don't have a washer. We don't have a heater. our water heater sometimes does a mini blow up thing and smells like smoke. yeah I don't know where we live. But I am happy:) and love being a missionary.
Well yeah that was pretty much our week summed up :) It is has been pretty good and defiantly a little crazy. but I think that is just what a mission is. I have learned a lot about prayer this week as I have been trying to make my personal prayers and our companion prayers more meaningful. When we ask the Lord for help and we ask Him for specific things, He really will answer us and help us out. He will and does answer our prayers EVERY time.
I love you all and I miss you!
I will talk to you next Wednesday! :)
have a good week.
