Hey everyone!
attached are pictures of this week. We had some odd plumbing
issues i let sister Tuia handle...and these 2 sikh guys are at the church every
day. The one is reading a Gospel of Jesus Christ pamphlet in Hindi :)
Well, this week has been a good one. We've been teaching
Subhash a lot and he's doing so well! There were 2 baptisms last night- one
from the elders in our ward and from the Heart Lake ward and he stayed for
both! haha He met President Scott and talked to the RS president about food for
after his baptism. After asking for permission to walk up and stand next to the
font for the second one, he got up looked at us and put 2 thumbs up in the air!
haha we just laughed. He's so ready and really excited for NEXT sunday at 5pm!
holla! We had the funniest thing happen while teaching him the 10 commandments
a few days ago. He was reading them out of Exodus and he got to "thou
shalt not covet thy neighbors ass" and he paused and said, "oh my
gosh....am i allowed to say that?!" Sis Tuia and i looked at each other
and busted up. In his indian accent it was priceless. We assured him that it
meant donkey and he was ok with it after that. But thinking about it how he
initially thought it meant made me laugh even harder. He's awesome. Last monday
he and his wife came over for dinner at the Bishops house. He has an amazing
relationship with Bishop Solomon and his wife :)
This week we picked up a few new investigators. One being a
lady named Nadine from Jamaica. The spanish elders found her about
2 months ago and we've been in contact w/her, inviting her out to church.
4 weeks ago, she came out and luckily sat right in front of us, since i didn't
recognize her-after sacrament meeting i leaned forward and introduced myself
and found out it was her! she had come! Well, 2 weeks later she came again
(that was last week) and we taught her this week. She's gotten a lot more
comfortable and fun to teach. We're seeing her tonight! She ran into her
fellowshipper on the bus a few days ago and was asking her about baptism :) She
even missed her stop (on purpose!) to continue to talk with the member!
We also started to work with Kira. Last week we were the
elders at the church and they got a phone call from a Less active member who
had just moved back into our ward boundaries. Luckily she lived on the North
side which is our territory so we've gone over a couple of times to see her.
While we were there on Saturday, her friend who lives upstairs (brampton is all
about basement apartments...) and offered us some snacks and asked if she could
sit in on our lesson. Well, she sat in while the elders a few years ago taught
the less active member and she knows quite a bit. We're excited to try and
continue to meet and teach the both of them together. Other than that, the other investigators we have are off and on. We
had some good lessons with some this week but they haven't been answering
calls. typical...
So it's been a good week. Pretty warm and humid but cooled off mid week making
it a little less sweaty. Sis Tuia and I are having a lot of fun. It
probably helps that Subhash is such a golden investigator- we're excited
for his baptism on Sunday!
Love Sister Messer
