Hey Everyone! Nov. 19, 2012
This week was full of
blasted miracles.We had a leadership training meeting on Tuesday with the
District & zone leaders and trainers/trainees in the Kitchener and Brampton
areas. SOOOO yes! I got to see Sister Tuia! It was the closest i've been to
crying in a long time. It was so good to see her again and talk about how everyone
back in Brampton is doing :) It's weird it's been 2 months already since I left
that wonderful place. But Kitchener YSA is bomb so it's all good. We learned a
lot about street contacting and how to ask thought searching questions. That
night we had 1/2 hour until our curfew and so we decided to put it to test.
We've been really blessed for implementing everything we've been learning! We
had 3 new investigators this week and committed 2 of them to baptism in
December! The only reason we couldn't commit the 3rd is because we got escorted
off Waterloo campus by police for "recruiting" on campus....gosh dang
it. Luckily it didn't freak the poor guy out too bad. He followed us out and
told us he wants to meet this week. haha so things are going pretty well! Minus
the fact that we are trying really hard to find new locations to teach at. You
can't really meet with YSA in their apartments and restaurants we have to buy
something and it's loud. Soooo ya. One of our new investigators we met street
contacting is from Toronto and his friend is serving a mission in Utah right
now. He had gone to activities with him before he left on his mission and he's
really cool. Another one has a mother who is Muslim and a father who is Hindu.
But they both want their son to meet with us and we taught the Resto. with his
mom there and committed him to baptism and she was like, "maybe your
sister will follow you too." It was really odd. What muslim woman wants
her son to be Christian? holla!
Alison and Arthur were both
confirmed at church yesterday! yay! It was great! Our branch missionaries are
teaching Arthur the new member lessons and at church yesterday he said,
"are you girls going to teach me anymore?" and we explained that we
will just not as much and he said, "awww i wanna be baptized again."
hahaha it's good to be appreciated.
So our zone leaders asked us to cover for them
(one was sick) and teach their ward's primary yesterday. So we taught
sharing time for jr. and sr. primary. It was quite the experience! It was fun.
We packed a suitcase with stuff that help us prepare to do missionary work
every day and pulled each item out and talked about it. Then asked them how
they can prepare to share the Gospel with their friends. I'd like to say it
went pretty well. They seemed to enjoy it alteast!
To answer your questions- what are we doing for
Thanksgiving? Mady suggested I make a turkey sandwich. That'll probably be the
extent of my American Thanksgiving. There are already Christmas parades going
on and lights and stuff all over. They start the party early around here!
Well, Have a great Thanskgiving this week!
Love Sister Messer
