THE FLOOD!

Oi Tudo Bem Familia?

    Hey everybody it has been another great week up north full of experiences to learn and grow.  We didn't have the busiest week most of the things that we planned ended up falling through and that hindered the progress of some of our investigators however, we had a lot more time to work on finding new investigators and preparing for our Integration Night on the 28th this month.  We have decided that we are going to have a pizza night and play volleyball or dodgeball to have things to do instead of the impromptu Basketball like last time.  

   Other than that we had a pretty cool experience this week.  We had gone to the library after putting up flyers for English classes because we were trying to figure out a way to get to London by train instead of having to drive ourselves.  We had been walking around for about an hour an a half at this point and we hadn't had any success talking to people that we passed by.  Then we talked to a woman that was shoveling the Ice off of her sidewalk.  As we were walking past I asked her if she wanted help. She seemed very surprised so I told her that we had snow shovels in our car that was parked in front of her house.  At that point she just responded with, "Who are you guys?"  So we told her we were the missionaries and started shoveling the ice.  Needless to say she was pretty confused at this point that two young men had started just shoveling all the ice off of her drive way.  After we had finished we had managed to testify to her about the Restoration and she has invited us back for Lunch.  It was a pretty cool experience and now we are going to help her meet with the sister missionaries and we are excited for her.  

   That was pretty much the theme of the week was service.  On Tuesday night we got a call from the second counsellor in the Bishopric in the Kitchener Second ward asking us if we were close or far away.  It turns out that the Stake Center had the Water Main Break and the entire chapel ended up flooding.  It was crazy to see it but that night we had like 8 missionaries show up as well as the clean up company and we were able to get it all dried up by Sunday.  It was super cool though to see how fast they could get it all done from Tuesday.
