Hi everyone!
This week
was a pretty average one! We did a ton of knocking trying to
introduce people to the Church's Christmas Initiative. People
seem to like it!! Also, one of our promising investigators
pretty much dropped us. We're not really sure why but she just
told us that she didn't want to meet anymore. That was a really
big bummer, but we're hoping to meet with her and resolve her
concerns this week.
On
Wednesday, some of the senior couples in our district made us
all a big American Thanksgiving dinner after district meeting
because they don't celebrate Thanksgiving in November here in
Canada. It was refreshing to have a American Thanksgiving
because Newfoundland Thanksgivings are really weird and they
don't have rolls and mashed potatoes and stuff.
Then, on
Thursday, we had exchanges and we all went to a wing place for
lunch and I got to watch about an hour of SportsCenter and it
was amazing haha!!!!!:) We also asked this guy who owns a huge
electronic billboard on one of the main roads if he would put up
a graphic for the Initiative and he said he would do it for
free! We all got super pumped when he told us he would. In a few
days he should have our graphic up on the billboard!
On Friday
we went to a Bible study with a bunch of Pentecostal people and
they talked about how their church plays street hockey every
other Saturday. So we plan on going to their church this week to
play some hockey with them. When we asked them if we could come,
they didn't really seem all that excited but we're going anyways
because it sounds fun and it'll help us introduce the Initiative
to them.
Yesterday
in Church we Skyped into the Corner Brook branch and they were
having their primary program. Primary programs over Skype are
amazing!! Especially when there are like 4 primary children and
the microphone makes them all sound like Darth Vader when they
sing :)
Well
that's about all for this week. Hope you had a wonderful
Thanksgiving! I'm Thankful that I can be out here serving the
Lord and sharing the message of his restored gospel.
Have a
wonderful week!
Love,
Elder
Haslam
P.S. Thank you to my family for that picture you guys took up
at the lodge! You're all the best!
