Last week ago in a mission far far away,
I got to spend a day with one of my two grandsons (mission grandsons) from Tahiti. He is like 6'5 so street contacting with him was awesome because everyone was looking at him. He doesn't speak a lot of English yet as well because I was with him for his first day before he went to get trained by Elder Darche in Bathurst, but he had an awesome street contact that turned into a potential. He just said "Hey, I have a message for you." and the guy came over.. it was awesome. Also I had my first Poutine and Donaire this week.. Poutine is "Canada only" french fries with tons of gravy and cheese. Every missionary is obsessed with it but really it's just ok. BUT Donaire is sandwich heaven if you get a chance look it up it's delicious. As far as pictures go, sorry mom haha. I didn't take like any. But I did see an eagle and I took a picture of him so here is a big "AMERICA" for everyone. Love you all,
We had some ups and downs this week, a few of which included getting dropped by a lot of our new investigators at the return appointment which wasn't too fun. BUT we were able to start teaching a 20 year old and his girlfriend. We contacted him while we were visiting potentials and formers from past missionaries a year+ ago and the lady who lived there originally moved, but he was there and we talked to him a little about who we were and he just invited us right in! It was great. He then told us how he was born catholic, became Baptist, but hasn't been going to church for a while and has really been starting to question if God was really there. By the end of the lesson, he was super excited to come to church and his girlfriend walked in and become super into it as well. They both kept talking about how they felt like they were supposed to meet us because it was the one free time that they happened to be home and nothing to do. We are super excited about them and will be meeting with them tonight as well:)
We had a lot of miracles this week as well. We finally got in contact with a few LA members who invited us back (we didn't even have to ask) which will be great. There was 78 people at church! This is 6 more than last week and when we first got here we were averaging just below 60, so the sun brings people back to salvation here in Canada. Weather forecast: It snowed once, rained three times and now today its a toasty 23 degrees B) suns out and nice winter white short sleeves out:)
We went to an open market on Saturday for the first time and holy cow were there people there. It was like all of Canada rallied to Dieppe! Unfortunately our contacting consisted of people asking the "who are you question" so we wouldn't get kicked out by the police but it was awesome.
