The beginning of our week was vastly different from the end. We started out insanely busy. And I mean like, lunch is a backup-plan type busy. For some reason our area just exploded with so many new people and activities. Here were some of the highlights:
- Had a lesson with Estefanos and made the mistake of telling him I liked to eat pork. He was ASTOUNDED because that's something they just don't here. He asked if I liked to eat dogs and horses too. I guess they didn't get the update that the Law of Moses has been done away with or something.
- Mana brought two of his friends to learn about the Book of Mormon, and told us that he might bring his wife to church when he can. The problem is she only really speaks their Sudanese tribal language.
- Had solid lessons with both Robel and Dula. Robel is really starting to understand the Book of Mormon and is becoming more and more excited about what he's learning. Dula is solid as ever.
- Did some ping-pong contacting! We stuck the rickety "table tannis" table out on the sidewalk and just asked people if they wanted to play. Then we'd get their numbers. It was the most fun I had ever had contacting and at the same time it's prepping me for the 2025 Olympics (but really though when will it actually be the schedule is so messed now).
Thennnn on Friday we got the news that we would be quarantined because we may have been exposed to COVID. So we spent Friday and Saturday inside studying and playing Solitaire.
Luckily on Sunday we were able to get out and go to church. We had 104 people at Sacrament Meeting which is crazy for here! Part of that number came from the new missionaries who arrived! A lot of our people came too (one of them yelled at the Branch President after though). That being said, transfers are on Friday, and all I know is I'm packing. So we'll see what happens.
Go read 3rd Nephi 27! In it the Savior himself is explaining his purpose and Gospel! I learned at lot from the perspective it gave me. I'm extending the invitation to everyone who sees this: If you read it, shoot me an email and let me know what you learned.
