what a week we had! the wednesday after last p-day we had a wonderful district council. the sisters are such diligent and consecrated missionaries. it makes my duties a heck'n lot easier. then the trainings that are put forth are an excellent example of the growth that has been made. so district councils have just been super cool.
the week was full of different kinds of finding and teaching slowly building up the teaching pool with very slow success haha. but the people we are working with are all doing great! john is still doing great but man, he is a tricky guy! after our discussion on the holy ghost this last week (and finding scriptures in one chapter about the holy ghost is rather difficult with the book of mormon ive found haha) and we discovered that he really doesn't know anything, he asked about what happens after death, and it seems that he's got quite the problem with memory loss. but that hasn't stopped him from being a super nice guy and still meeting with us. so slowly and clearly with plenty of questions seems to be the way.
then by the time friday rolled around, we did quite a bit of service shoveling snow, food bank service and stacking wood! so that was a nice break from the regular stuffs. Then that night traveled to clayton park (closer to downtown Halifax) for exchanges! which was a blast!
I was with Elder Albertson for the whole day and we taught a super cool older black guy with the best accent ever! we went over the come follow me for families with him and hearing him read was one of the coolest things! then we tried to go see a boat show, but unfortunately it cost money so we bailed on that haha. so we went and tried to swing by some les active members and ended up finding 2 ladys and talked with them about the book of mormon and they accepted copies and invitations to hear from the sister missionaries! (zl and stl's are in the sam-ish area) then towards the end of the night, we got to street contact in downtown halifax! and downtown Halifax is probably 20% of new york city so plenty of people to talk to, yet more parking and less cars! so it was kinda nice not gonna lie. so we had a couple interesting encounters. mostly with people finishing their joint or cigarette and heading into bars, but we did hand out quite a few cards and a book of mormon to a muslim lady! then before 9 we had an exchange review at the church where we met with Elder Hsu and Rougeau who when to sports night and i got to see Elder Atkins for a bit too haha then we headed back home!
Sunday came around and it was a pretty solid service John came again, and got to mingle with more of the members and got to see Betty! she was very thankful for the Bible and the Book of Mormon so we are excited to see what she thinks and the questions she'll have!
then monday was good! we got to research a bit on the sackville snow days and we are going to try to go to as many events as we can or even help out with the whole thing! we also got to do a far share of knocking that day too haha
And that lead to today! the thing ill comment on is that we are going to a sushi bar so that will be interesting!
Anyways love you all and hope you enjoyed this email! remember to read your scriptures and pray! love being a missionary and being able to spread the wonderful news of Jesus Christ.
