Monday night wasn't too bad, we shoveled a lot of driveways because of the storm on Sunday, and we made a lot of phone calls. Boring right?
Tuesday was a blast. We had our zone leaders come up from Saskatoon and we went on exchanges with them. We taught the Birds that day and set a baptismal date with their whole family! it was great! We also had our sports night that night, and the new ping-pong table we got is doing magic. Too bad i'm still terrible at it, but i'm getting better.
Wednesday was slow. We went out of town to help a lady move her wood pile out of the snow. It was a good exercise seeing how i've gained almost 20 pounds since i started my mission :) and it was fun, untill I got hit in the face with a log. But it was a good laugh.
Thursday was way slow, and we didn't teach anybody, but we walked around town and got a lot of potential investigators so that was nice.
Friday wasn't too bad. We did a lot of planning and most of our appointments canceled, but rescheduled so that was nice. We drove out of town that night to a reserve to teach a less-active, but she wasn't home! She "lunched" our appointment! but it was okay seeing how we got to see the northern lights that night! They were very dim, and it was a bit cloudy. I want to see them in full force. Sometime....
Saturday was busy. We taught the Bird's again, and they ate up our lesson. They're a native family and have 6 little girls and so we have to always find fun ways to teach them because they go wild and climb all over you. We usually color or use abject lessons with them and they love it! They've been investigating the church for about a year, but never came to church. Until this sunday! We woke them up by knocking on the door, and so they came to church, and the ward just loved them! They had a good time, and hopefully will come back again. Also on thursday we drove out of town again to teach a less-active who fed us the best ribs I've ever had. (sorry mom). But he had a nice house and lives in the country side. I'll send a picture of the road to his house, because it's just beautiful!
Sunday was great! we had the most investigators at church I've ever brought. The bird's came, so did Cindy and she brought a friend! Ever since we baptised Eric, he's been doing missionary work in bringing Cindy and her friend. I'm sad we handed Cindy and her friend over to the sisters. But we did because they would help them out more than we can. After Church we went and taught a guy named Warner. He works at the food bank where we give service. He wants to quit smoking, so we told him we would help. We just got a new no-smoking program and it's very effective. We taught him it, and left him with a BOM. He's really excited, and i'm excited for him too. Sunday night we went over to the Yawney's house for dinner. They are the best member-missionaries I've ever seen. We had dinner with Eric and Cindy and Brother Yawney taught them a lesson afterwards and we were all there helping out. But he's a spiritual power-house. I think he's part of the reason Cindy believes in God. Love it.
So that's this last week. We find out this week whether or not i'm staying in P.A. I don't want to leave unless I get called to leadership. We'll see how it pans out. But i LOVE being a missionary. It's been the best education I've ever had. The spirit that you feel when you're testifying, and you can feel the spirit giving you words, and you feel it testify to the person you're talking with, it's just amazing, and I wouldn't trade that for the world, just love it!
Thank you all for your prayers and support!
Love you,
Elder Jake Sorenson
