It was a good week here in Regina! We experienced a lot of different cultures this week! First, we met with a chinese girl that we met at the university here. She invited all her friends over as well. We got to teach them how to pray and she fed us chinese food! They taught us how to use chopsticks so that was fun! I asked them about moon cakes!
Then we had supper with the family from mexico again. Sister Uribe is such and amazing cook!! I love mexican food. It's the best!
Then we had a lesson with a family from africa. Talked with lots of people from India, Syria, and the Phillipines. Then there's always the first nations people. We learned some of their language this week! That is one thing that I love about here. THere are SO many different cultures!!
A couple months ago sister gatten and I met a man from Sir Lanka. We gave him a book of mormon and got his contact information. We were sad when we realized he lived in another ward boundary so we had to pass him over to the elders there. Anyway, he got baptized this weekend and it was an awesome baptism!! A testimony builder to me that no effort is wasted and everything happens by divine design!
I hit my half way mark this week which is super crazy! It's also transfer week... I will be staying here in Regina and getting a brand new missionary to train. I am scared out of my mind!! Hopefully the Lord will help me and her.
We were tracting and an older man answered the door with his shirt off. We could only stay in his doorway for a few minutes because he was there alone so we gave him a book of mormon and told him a little about it. As we were leaving he went to shake his hand and he pulled us both in and hugged us. It was the most uncomfortable situation I think I have experience so far... hahaha
I came across one of my favorite scriptures today in my reading..
2 Nephi 17:15 "Butter and honey shall he eat, that he may know to refuse the evil and to choose the good." Make sure you all are eating lots of butter and honey this week!!
Love you all! Have an awesome week!!
