Heating Up

June 6, 2017

The weather here is just about killer status. It's so hot here! I never would have thought that I would ever say that, but it is.

Also, we just had transfers, like 2 or 3 weeks ago... sorry, I forgot to tell y'all, but not much changed. I guess our district got a bit bigger, but that's about it. Though, in my last interview with President Pattison, he told me he was probably going to move me somewhere else next transfer. I have heard that, for everyone that has been in Leduc, it has been their favorite area.

We do have Elder L. and some other Mandarin elders in our zone, but we never get to go to zone sports, except for today!  We are still helping out at the retirement home, though it feels like we pretty much just play games with them for a while.

This has been a week of miracles. We had the traveling elders at our place on the weekend and we just did a huge amount of finding in 2 days. We found a bunch of solid people and also learned a ton about how to do finding effectively. Also, on Sunday night, we got a referral from another area, so we stopped by and he wanted to go on a walk. So, we had a walking lesson for about an hour, and throughout the whole lesson he would stop and talk about how grateful he is that he moved here, grateful that he had met his friend who referred him, and how thankful he was that he was able to talk to us. In short: he's the most prepared person we've ever seen! He was super stoked about getting the chance to read the Book of Mormon! We're excited to teach him some more.
Also, while I was writing that, we just got another referral! 😂 So happy.

We also had a lesson with A.! He is still kind of struggling to read, but I think we're slowly making progress. We also haven't had the chance to meet with J. again yet, but we're going back on Thursday.

I have actually been doing pretty good in my teaching skills, I think. I mean, I'm nowhere near perfect, but I'm miles better than what I was. Things are getting busy really fast. Really, really fast, but I love it, and I love y'all.
