Well the weather here has been pretty mediocre. We have been trying this week to pick back up our teaching pool so that has made it quite the week.
Tuesday after our district meeting, we went to go and try stop by Andrew by his work. We finally were able to catch him at the time that he was out stocking shelves so we set an appointment with him Friday morning. Following that we went home to drop off our car to save miles and went on the bus to our areas. Elder Guzzle felt like we should go check on a potential so we bused to her home. She was very nice and told us that she was having a hard day and that it had to be God that had us come to her home that day. We had a great lesson with her and she felt the spirit really strong. After the lesson she told us that we were the first missionaries that she has ever let into her home. She is Catholic so that was pretty huge for her to say!
As we were walking back to the bus stop, we ran into this guy who called himself Coach Braun. He was pretty crazy. We talked with him about things that had been troubling him and he went off on about 30 tangents. Beside the fact that he totally made the conversation go off topic, I guess he just needed the opportunity to talk with somebody who would listen.
Wednesday night we had another great appointment with a man who told us to come back last week. When we knocked on his door for the appointment, he told us he wasn't expecting us to actually come back. He wanted us to come back and was grateful that we remembered him. As we talked about the Book of Mormon with him, he said that he had seen it before. He used to work as an air attendant. As he was working one day, he saw a copy of the Book of Mormon laying on a seat and read that it was another Testament of Jesus Christ. He said he was more than happy to have the discussions and we will be returning next week to teach him more!
Friday night we had interviews with President Johnson so we were able to talk about ways to help the district. He told me that I was most likely leaving the area when this next transfer comes up. Transfers will be on the 11th of January so we will find out what happens next week! After he had finished interviews, he walked out and took off his suit jacket, looked at us and said, "How about a game of 3 v 3 in basketball before I leave." We were way excited when he said that. A game was played and afterwards gave us permission to drive to the Mission office in Potomac to grab Elder Criddle's Omaha Steaks that had been sent to him.
New Years Eve we got to proselyte until 5 p.m. The most exciting thing that happened that day was our giving our Burmese investigators pamphlets in Burmese. They were way excited to receive things they could read in their own language and be able to understand it. Dung Khai looked at us and said "This is good" giving us a thumbs up. We were required to be in our apartments for the rest of the night and had to stay in.
Hope you all have a great week!
