This week came and left faster than I could think.
We had Zone Conference this week in Oshawa and the whole mission has been approved to use Facebook. So the last couple of days my phone has been blowing up with other missionaries adding me on social media. annoying, but it is also good. The anticipation for a social media has had the mission in some sort of stand still and now that it is here I hope to see everyone realize how much missionary work is the same. And we just have a new medium to do it through. We still walk and talk, knock doors and meet people face to face. The work moves on with or with out you. It's better to be on the team working than on the sideline watching the winners win without you.
That being said, it's also an exciting time to see how Facebook can be used to find, teach, and baptize.
This is also a huge season for the Persian community because its NOWRUZ! Woohoo Persian new year. Elder McBeth and I have made plans to go to all the Persian celebrations in our area and to advertise the church to as many as possible, so this week we went to Tirgan's Nowruz. Last summer Elder Dixon and I went to a huge Persian party called Tirgan on the harbor front downtown Toronto, and this year the same people threw a new year party so we decided it was fitting to go where ALL of the Persian comuntiy would be.
So its been a crazy week, fun stuff.
Have a good one, see you same time next week.
