We had a really cool week full of little miracles.
Firstly on Monday we were able to go to a members house for family home evening to help them teach a non-member family that they had invited over. This isn't super common so we were really excited. There were so many kids because the member family has 5 kids and the other family had 3, so they were running around everywhere but we taught the Plan of Salvation and got to draw it all out on a huge piece of paper, it was super fun.
Tuesday had the fun of trying to get our residency stuff done with the government only to be given a huge list of things to fix and a very generous 3 days to get everything done within. We were also able to meet with a potential who told us the story of when she first met with the missionaries, which was right after her daughter had passed away and the very first thing that the missionaries asked her was "Do you believe that there is life after death?". She knew right from that moment that it wasn't a coincidence that they met. So they sound like they're going to be super legit and we're really excited to start meeting with them.
Wednesday we had exchanges with our zone leaders and we had a cool experience when Elder Aardema and I tracted into two previous investigators and Elder Thomsen with Elder Fitzgerald (who served here before) looked up a former investigator and when they got there she was super happy and said "I told my daughter two days ago that I would really love the missionaries to come back". The spirit really does guide.
Thursday was district meeting and we had the zone leaders there, so that was super fun, they gave a training on pride and repentance, I gave a training on using the Book of Mormon, it was a fun day. Later we met with a member who fed us some delicious food and then had English class.
Friday we hecticly ran around the city the whole morning trying to get all our papers in order to get registered and to make it to the office before it closes at 11:30am, made it there with time to spare and they took all my stuff, so I call that a success.
Saturday we got to meet with a member and all we had planned was a talk from conference a while back that we were going to read with them and didn't really know what we were going to talk about. We basically ended up talking about repentance the rest of the time and it went really well. The spirit definitely guided that one.
Sunday we had our normal church (which I had to translate in...) and then afterwards we had a meeting with a member of the stake presidency on how to hold effective branch councils. It was interesting. We also ate a bunch of hot dogs because we got heaps for really cheap but the best before date is today, so we did what had to be done.
I'm really excited for this upcoming week and I hope all of yours are great too!
Sok sikert mindenhez!
