Things are looking up right now, the past 3 weeks have been slower than I would like but we had a couple good days this week. :)
A cool experience this week with finding new investigators. We have had like no time to actually find this transfer with all the administrative stuff but we had about 3 hours to go out and put up English class fliers so we went out and got to work. I have been thinking a lot about my own faith, and how to recognize the spirit so I really was trying to be receptive. We were walking down the street and we weren't having to much luck with talking to people so I just had a random desire to go into the Tim Hortons and get a $1.77 small hot chocolate, lo and behold, there was about 20ish Persian people in there just hanging out. HA! We snagged our hot cocoa and went over to talk to them. Elder McBeth and I have been doing some translation for some of the 1 minute Mormon videos so I say how are you to one of the guys and then Elder McBeth just goes in asking if they would proof read what he had translated thus far. The guy lost it, hahahahahha. He then called his like 6 buddies over and they were all just listening to Elder McBeth explain what we were doing and about the Book of Mormon. We continued to talk with them, got a phone number and set up a meeting for this Thursday! So as of now we have found 1 new out of them but all of that guy's buddies should be coming to the meeting as well! Gang gang.
Another highlight of this week was my exchange with Elder Tetauru. He is a stud and a half. Right before we started our exchange Elder McBeth and I grabbed some 5 dollar Jamaican Jerk Pork, the guy gave us a huge serving and it seriously filled me up. Then the first thing we do on the exchange was go to a lunch/dinner appointment with a member, ha Elder Tetauru didn't know it was a meal appointment till we got there and this lady fed us something called Rotti.. idk how to spell it.. but its an Indian bread and she gave us some mac and cheese and dressed salad and some corned beef with potatoes and has us make a wrap with all these things inside the bread... I was super full by the end of the night!
I love being a missionary. you'll never have experiences like this ever again in your life.
have a good week!--
