Man of God

Well for this week... My companion's back was still broken... so week 2 of studying my brains out was completed... He's now actually better so we'll be working for sure this week... But we did have miracles still happen which added to the miraculousness of them because the 2 times we left the flat this week... we had them happen haha.

 

#1. We went on Tuesday to a Physio to see what's wrong with his back (turns out it was a slipped-disc) but we walk into the waiting room and this old guy looks at me and says "man of God".... I just laughed and said "that's right"... Then he went on to say his best friend for 68 years was a mormon and he lived with him when missionaries came over all the time.. So he knew quite a bit about our religion... And we had a good chat and as he was leaving I asked if we could come over to his house and share a message with him and he accepted!... I was like "YESSSSSSS!" Cause obviously it was the first missionary work I've done in like a week haha. Then the receptionist over heard and was looking at me... I just said "you wanna hear a message too?" She was like nah hahaha. 

 

Miracle #2... The 2nd time we left the flat we were going to a dinner appointment... And another side-story... we were on the bus and we hopped on last minute while the bus was at a stoplight... so it was red as we were buying the tickets... then I'm waiting for change as it turns green then he told me to go sit down real quick and get it later... and so me and my companion go to sit down and he takes off and we both go flying down the aisle of the bus and smack into this pole hahahah, and my companion's week of recovery just went down the drain lolz. But at least people will remember missionaries.. those ones that fell on the bus :)... Well anyways... after we got off the bus we went to our dinner appointment... and we were 15 minutes early... so we went to walk around and talk to some people... And then I look at this lady on this bike and she stops... and is just staring at me... I was like.. "What. the. awkward."... Then she says "Hey Elder!"... So I go over to talk to her and it turns out she's been living in AUS for 2 years and she's a less active from the Philippines.. she also has a non-member husband and she asked us where church is so they can come!! So we got her details and she's going to come! WOO HOOO!!! (once again I was very excited due to the lack of work we've done) hahaha. 

 

And for my birthday! It was S-W-E-E-T... That stands for Some White Elephants Eat Turkey.... My Bishop threw me a little birthday party and invited a bunch of families over for dinner, it was indeed awesome! I haven't had home-made mexican food since like... in Christchurch... Then on my actual birthday this other family invited families over as well and one of them actually had come to Bishops too and I was just thinking... "I hope they like mexican".. Cause I requested that again hahah #Mexicanblood. So overall it was a pretty good birthday... Got to take the sacrament... best present everrrrr...
