-Sisters came in this week (from Germany and New
Zealand) so they are young on the mission and whitewashing and ready to kill
it!
- We moved all their stuff that we stored in our
apartment from the old sisters’ apartment to their new one, and we would carry
loads over to their place all day. But the first load I was carrying a bag of
church videos and books and these cops and military officers were sitting on a
bench and right as I passed them, the bag broke and all these DVDs and books
with Christ and temples and so fourth spilled all over the road! The cops
didn't seem to notice much, which was a miracle because it was right in front
of them. It was sooo funny.
-We met the coolest 2 guys from Syria and they
were just the nicest people I've met, and when they asked if we knew anything
about Syria the only thing that could pop in my head was that America just
bombed them up and because of that we had to stay in our apartments all day,
but I managed to go with out telling them that. I feel like I've met someone
from almost every country from the middle east so far, and they have all been
the nicest people.
- We cleaned the branch because we got there
late and realized no one cleaned it yet. Then as we are finishing this guy and
his wife come, and are first mad that we cleaned for them. But I have never
seen them in my life! They must be way inactive members who don't want us to
know about them because I kept asking for the guy’s name, but he would change
the conversation and wouldn't give it to me, probably so we won't track them
down.
-We went over an hour to a branch and they had 4
members there, it was a great meeting though, I really love these people; their
faith is so humbling. It's crazy how much they are pumping up the temple in
Russia! They want it so badly, and the leaders are doing all they can, but
there are so many less actives who aren't pulling the weight.
-I meet this guy on the street and he sang for
me in English "I'm a dwarf and I'm digging a hole" song. Also we
met the nicest guy on the bus that I swear I've seen him before. Crazy how the
Lord puts you in the right place right time.
-We went on a find grind with an Elder who was
here for the day (he's German and just finished training). It was way fun, and
got him on that finding high!
Well I can't believe my year mark is on
Thursday. This will be a crazy week!
Much Love,
Elder VanBuskirk
