Happy Monday!! I can't believe it is the last day of April. I am not sure where the whole month went! This week was pretty good. It was a bit of a slower week but that's okay. Hopefully we were able to do some good and plant some seeds!
We had interviews with President Craig so that was great! We only have one more full transfer with him so that is pretty sad.
We met a girl named Ceinwen at the University of Regina a few weeks ago and we got to teach her again this week. We also met a guy named Chris on a street we were tracting a few weeks ago. He was outside walking so we stopped to talk to him. At first he seemed a bit stand offish to us but we kept talking to him and he opened up and seemed a bit interested. We stopped by his house a few days later and he was surprised that we actually came. We have been able to teach him a few times over the phone. He doesnt want to meet with us in person... I think because he is worried what his family will say. Hopefully that doesnt cause us problems in the future. Anyway, we invited him to be baptized over the phone. That was a little weird but we made it work. He accepted the date and seemed pretty excited about it. But he still needs to talk to his family about it. So we are praying everything goes well with that.. Also funny side note. He said that he actually tried to baptize himself a few years ago. I had never heard of that before so I thought it was pretty comical!
We did some service for a less active in our ward. She wanted to take down this wall in her house so we went over and hammered at it. It was a little scary but we got it down!
Another funny story.. So yesterday we were doing some stop bys of former investigators and we were by the university. A few weeks ago we tracted into a guy who wanted a book of mormon so we decided to stop by. We knocked on the door and his roommate answered. We told him who we were and that we were looking for Sam. He said, "Oh you're looking for Sam let me go get him" and ran up the stairs. Then all of the sudden we hear him yelling. "SAM, THE LORD IS LOOKING FOR YOU. GET UP". And he does this like 10 times. It was pretty funny. Finally when the guy came down I could barely control my laughter enough to talk to him. I don't think he thought it was very funny. Hopefully he will read the Book of Mormon!
We got our transfer calls today. I will be staying here in Regina for another 6 weeks with Sister Jackson. By the time I leave I will have seen all the season here!
This week I was reading the magazine that the church put out on President Monson's life. At the end were quotes of his. I loved this one!
"As the world moves further and further away from the principles and guidelines given to us by a loving Heavenly Father, we will stand out from the crowd because we are different. .. Those things which make us different from most of the world also provide us with that light and that spirit which will shine in an increasingly dark world." I know this to be true! Especially as a missionary. You definitely stand out from everyone else. But I know that it's not only the missionaries that stand out. As members of the church we are all disciples of Jesus Christ! We are ALL examples to the world!! Hope you all have a wonderful week!
