Hello my most amazing family and friends!!! I hope you all had just the most fantastic week. Mine was actually pretty great for the most part. To start off, last P-day was a blast as usual. And today we're having a zone P-day so that'll be a blast. And ofc I was asked to make cookies... with fingers crossed (For their sake). We also get to go to the temple again this Wednesday!!! So so stoked about that. It'll be great and I can't wait haha.
I'll start with the spiritual stuff this week. This week my comp and I were blessed to find 10 new friends!!! It was an amazing miracle for us. Will they all use their agency to continue the lessons... probably not. But we've had a follow up lesson with a couple already so that makes me super happy. While door knocking two crazy things happened. First, we were at a door and I got pooped on by a bird. Multiple times. Second we knocked a door and no one came so we went to the next one, well the person from the last door came out. So my comp went to talk to him, and then the second door opened. Who was there you might ask? A Chinese speaking man who knows no English. And my mandarin speaking comp is deep in a lesson with someone else. So I used the phrases I knew and tried my best. And once I said the words Jesus Christ, he was out. "Darn" Haha it was a fun experience to say the least.
I can't tell you how much I love old people. They're either the nicest or meanest and it's my favorite either way. One way you get a long conversation and make new friends. And the other, you get yelled at and can just say whatever back and it'll tick them off. So you just smile and they get even more mad. It makes my day haha. Oh I also love dogs! Everyone here has them. My comp hates them but when I see one that's where we go. Because even if the people say no, at least I got to play with a dog.
Ok fun things this week, I got to watch cricket so that was umm "fun". Super weird sport haha. Oh we moved flats. Ours was bigger and they had to put four sisters in it, so they moved us to this super nice one. So we're super stoked about that. And we have great chats with one of our old neighbors who was in the Olympics. Super rad. Also this week, I finally got to try kangaroo. It was actually super good. It just tasted like steak haha. We also finished the service this week!!! It's so nice to finally be done cleaning out that garage.
"The knowledge of the truth does not make us better than other people, but it teaches us what we must do to return to God’s presence."- Elder Denelson Silva in his talk Courage to Proclaim the Truth. It is an amazing talk that you all should go read. People are quick to judge people based on their religion. But religion doesn't define who we are. It's something we hold on to for guidance, hope and even joy. But if someone doesn't have that, it doesn't mean that they're any less than someone who is religious.
I love you all, have a fantastic week!!! Hope all the single people enjoy the holidays. :)
