Hello!!
No week is actually super eventful here but there are some fun moments!
We had a guy message and ask for a bible study. Naturally we said sure, so we planned a time and he sent a link. We got on and there were 3 screens of people, so it was a little weird. All were black screens. One screen turned on, and it was Ritz! The guy who set up the study! He introduced himself and it was chill. He then said he invited his friend, who was about to turn on his camera! So we were happy! He invited friends! His friends screen turned on and it was a... pastor! Even better than just a pastor sitting there was that he was standing at a pulpit in a suit! He shared with us 3 powerpoints and we taught each other lots. It was fun. He was kind of all over the place though smh.
Another fun missionary experience was making and dropping off cookies. Honestly huge success. Everyone was so happy, and someone we are teaching even posted about it on facebook. Unfortunately we burned like 30 cookies so we couldn't give out as many. Other than that, we did well. It's crazy how much love the little things show, and how much people appreciate them. Such simple actions can make big differences. And it's easy for us to do the simple things !
We have been meeting with a recent convert named jenn weekly. At this point we pretty much just gossip and talk about life, read texts and are her friends. Another little action that goes a long way! Just talking and listening to her! She was sad she's still single and mid 30s and has had some complicated relationships in the past. She was very sad about being single I'd even say and was struggling a lot. So naturally, I got her on mutual (tinder for members of the church). Lots of funny stories and texts later, but only a week into having the app, she found a guy and soon after drove 9 hours to Saskatchewan to meet him and stay the week with him and his fam. He is also a member and they are now dating! The app was a huge success and she's so happy. So yea, I did that. She said she wanted to do a joint wedding but I politely declined. She's so hype though.
We also played basketball one night under the stars in the crisp air. It was a beautiful moment tbh. Technically not allowed though mission rule.wise now, but it felt so good to play and be out.
So yea, look for little ways to serve one another. Go out of your way slightly to make someone's day. Little actions can have lasting impacts on others and ourselves. "by small and simple things are great things brought to pass"Alma 37:6. Small actions change lives.
Hope everyone has a great week!
