This week was great! A couple scary experiences, but otherwise good!
We have 2 baptisms coming up this Saturday! L started working though, and we haven't gotten a hold of him. Hopefully he doesn't flake out! But A, the 11 year old is good to go. We have been teaching him quite regularly. He was all scared about the afterlife/judgment and almost started crying when he asked if families would get separated by the 3 kingdoms if they didn't all make it to the Celestial. Super sad, but we cleared it up pretty well.
We have been struggling to find members to participate in the baptism, though. The member work here is bleak to say the least. There are a couple families that like us, but they live out in the bush so it's harder to get referrals from them. And member-present lessons? Forget about it.
Today is Halloween! We have a special P-Day schedule. We had P-Day activities such as shopping and car washing from 10-2:30. Then we proselyte from 2:30-5:30. Then we have to be in our house by 6:30 until 9, but still P-Day stuff so we are planning on sleeping or watching some church movies! :D It's a pretty crazy day, but Halloween can be dangerous as well as ineffective for missionary work.
Not much happened this week. We got so many potentials in the Hood last week, but meeting with them again was another story! They are some flaky people (all native, sorry to say) and the ones we met with are less than solid and hardly interested. Oh well! We are working in other areas now to find better new investigators.
Another bit of news, I have been working on the Fraser rap the last couple days while tracting. 2 of the other areas in our zone have raps made about their area, so I'm writing one now too! Haha it's pretty funny I'd say. We were inspired to start it after we came up with the first line: "got so many investigators we could start a stake"
No worries though, I'm super consecrated and working hard!(;
Anyway, have fun on Halloween! Don't get cavities from all that candy! And don't wet the bed from all those horror movies!
I started buying green leaf lettuce, red onions and avocados and putting chicken in a salad! It's really good. Today I found some ground beef on sale (just 4.50 for 450 grams! Such a good deal) That's sarcasm. Meat is super expensive here, but cheese is the worst. I have some eggs in the fridge that I never ate because eggs are gross, but I can try hard boiling them, I never thought of that! We cook for ourselves a lot, almost every meal. We refuse to eat fast food like most missionaries, and members feed us once a week if we are lucky. But I also started drinking Cashew milk instead of regular milk! It also tastes better than almond milk for the same price! And I buy 2 L of Dark Chocolate Almond Milk. MMMMMM. Other than that I have Kraft Dinner, walmart brand Pringles, and walmart brand Nutri Grain bars. I also buy bananas and whatever bread they have on the about-to-expire rack. Not too bad.
This week has also been pretty warm! It hovers around 4 or 5 degrees (about 40-45) so not too cold for the end of October.
Take care and I love you all!
