Oi familia Tudo Bem?

   Well it has been an interesting week for sure around here with transfers and lots of other just crazy experiences.  Earlier this week we were talking alot about our situation with little success and few investigators and we decide that one thing we needed to work on was the Language of Faith. it has made quite the difference as we have been seeing hearts soften out here in new market.  No major progress yet bu t it is changing.  

  In other news got a new slightly bad confirmation of how god answers prayers.  We were joking  one night about how awesome it would be if a huge spiritual meteor hit Ontario with our District leaders one night.  One of the biggest problems in most of the mission is that people are so focused on themselves and blinded by pride and complacency that they are afraid to change or even try to think about something or someone else.  Therefore we thought a spiritual meteor would be sufficient to humble the people to help them see that others exist.  So we all decided to pray about it and lo and behold this friday there were Tornadoes in Brampton and Warnings in Midland.  Moral of the story don't tempt God, tornadoes happen. 

  Other than that this week was kind of slow.  Talking to a lot of people about the gospel, them saying they aren't interested, us asking if they know anyone who is, them saying guys you are in the wrong town for this line of work.  You know the usual things.  We have found a couple of people that have some potential and we are going to work on building up to actually meeting with them.  One of my favorites this week was when we talked to Rihanna.  She was one lady that we contacted while we were working in the area of some potential investigators.  She was super nice sadly she is a witch though and said she was not interested in learning more with us. She did accept a copy of the Book of Mormon which was good however she didn't really want to mix with Christianity.  All in all a pretty interesting week. 

  Questions.

1. How was your week in New Market?

pretty slow as usual.  Started journaling again after a 5 month hiatus so I have been doing a lot of that.  Helps me find the little fun experiences from the week. 

 2. How are the ESL classes coming?

Good.  We had three new spanish students come this week it was really interesting. 

3. Still working with your 3 investigators? Did you find anyone  new?

We are trying most of them are avoiding us or we can't get in contact and we don't have any new this week. 

4. What was your most memorable experience this week?

Probably the Baptism on Saturday.  Past missionaries came back and it was really exciting. 

5. What are you looking forward to in the coming days?

We have a couple of appointments set up with some solid potential investigators we have been working on meeting with for over a transfer that are finally happening.

We helped the bishop move that was about it though.

Mainly people.  The Newmarket ward is awesome and full of just some really quirky and awesome people. 

8. How has the weather been?

It is either death by fire or death by water it is pretty bad however we are surviving.  Went and bought a water bottle so that I can stay hydrated better. 

9. What are your pday plans?

Elder Davis needs a haircut and I need pants.  I split three pairs of mine and now I only have like one left.  I am getting them repaired by the personal seamstress of three different queens of England however I want to be better prepared should this happen again in the future.

PS

 The old British seamstress was lecturing Elder Davis about how he is making it so that I am losing muscle and gaining fat so it is his fault.  Baptism of RK he was one of the sister's investigators.  Yeah tornadoes at least that is what we were told.
