Hello everyone!! It was another beautiful week in Regina. Spring is FINALLY Here!! Which means so are the allergies:( That's okay though, I would much rather deal with those rather than -40:)
This week was a bit of a trying week for us. But it was still pretty good!
On Monday night we had a lesson scheduled for 7:00.. We got there and they werent home. We texted them and they said they would be there at 7:30. So we decided to do some tracting while we waited. At 7:30 we got another text and said they had to push it to 8. So we continued tracting. I was a little frustrated but it was okay. Well during that half hour we knocked on the door and a 16 year old girl answered. At first she couldnt hear us becuase her music was so loud but once she turned the music off she answered and let us in! We shared a little bit with her and asked if we could come back. She said that she would talk to her mom! We were pretty excited. It was a miracle that the lesson we had scheduled had to reschedule on us. It's pretty amazing to see how the Lord works. The only bummer is that she texted us a few days later and said her and her mom didnt want us to come back. They had done some research online and said "mormonism" wasnt for them.. That's okay though, I think that we were led there for a reason to prepare her for future missionaries!!
We also got a new car this week!!! So that was super exciting. They closed one of the out lying areas that is around the city so we got the car that those elders had. When we got it though it was SOOO dirty. It had been on a reservation for 2 or 3 transfers and I dont think they cleaned it once. We may have to wash it a few times before it's clean again!
On Thursday we got to be in a tripan with Sister Blaine. She was companions with sister peacock. She is now done training so she got a new companion this week. I love her!! It was fun to have her spend the day with us while she was waiting for her new companion.
So the past couple weeks we have had quite a few people to work with and teach. Not a lot that are progressing quickly but they have been interested in meeting with us so it has been good... This week we got 3 texts from 3 different people telling us that they didnt want to meet with us:( That was pretty sad. So now we don't have a lot of people we are working with but I know that it will pick up again soon! It always does:)
Saturday night we had supper with Ishmael.. He is the guy who sister gatten and I found and he got baptized a couple months ago! He is from West Africa. He made us African food... SO MUCH FOOD!! He just kept piling it on our plates telling us to eat. It was very filling food too. Rice, soup with some sort of meat in it and then what they call "Fufu".. It looks kinda like mashed potatoes but it is basically water and wheat mixed together. I was a little nervous to eat it but it was actually pretty good. Just very filling! We could hardly walk out we were so full! He is so awesome though!
I loved this scripture in my studies this week.. I thought it was very fitting for the past few days SIster Jackson and I have had..
Alma 26:27
"Now when our hearts were depressed and we were about to turn back, behold, the Lord comforted us, and said: Go amongst thy brethren, the Lamanites, and bear with patience thine afflictions, and I will give unto you success.
