This week was pretty good! We went on exchanges with the other Elders in the Branch/District, and I got to stay in my area with the DL's new companion. His name is Elder Tuia, and he is this super chill guy from Hawaii, but it's cool because he knows how to work. He is also 27, so he is a bit of an old timer. During the exchange, an interesting thing happened. We were tracting a street, and it was super cold/snowy/windy, plus I had to use the restroom pretty badly. So the thought to not finish both sides of the street we were knocking on was pretty tempting, especially because nobody was being receptive. But we kept it up, and it was interesting, because it was at the last few houses where we found some cool people that were willing for us to come back. It was a cool lesson on endurance/perseverance.
Just thought I'd share that. :)
We were able to go to the North American International Auto Show yesterday for quite a long (Like 5 hours) time! Totally worth it! I went a little crazy with taking pictures though... I took about 300 pictures of cars :) Elder Tuia set us up with somebody that he knows that got us free tickets, so that was pretty sweet! Saved a missionary $13 dollars! Of course, I was willing to pay that, plus my companion's admittance fee to go to a sweet auto show, but it was still really sweet to be able to go there for free! I also got a $15 dollar official NHL hockey puck for free while we were there :) The story behind that: I was with my district leader, and we were looking at a Red Wings/hockey stand, and they had these pucks and stuff there. So we were looking at some signed memorabilia that was pretty pricey, when the guy at the stand asked me if I put a puck in my pocket! I was like...Uhhh, no. Then he asks me if I was sure. So I pull out of my pocket my camera case that is black, and could almost be confused with a hockey puck if you just caught a glance of it, and the guy starts apologizing and stuff. I told him he was fine, and we go back to looking at the memorabilia. But then a little later, the guy hands me a hockey puck and says it is for accusing me of stealing, and that he would take care of the cost! My district leader was pretty jealous. It was funny.
So last week, our investigator Sister Edie, moved out of the Branch. It was pretty lame, because she was progressing well. But the other day, she called us and told us that she moved again, and asked us to check to
see if she was in the Branch again. Turns out that she is in the Branch and in our area by like half a block! Yay!
Anyways, thanks for reading :)
