This week was another
super awesome one! We've been continuing to hit the streets again every day to
find the elect. My only problem is just calling all the numbers during daily
planning that we worked so hard to get the day before. Only like 1/8 pans out and
it drives me nuts!!! So in order to find as many people as we can, we just have
to talk to even more! Then we'll find more! This week we found 7 more people to
add to our teaching pool which was awesome. Some of the ones from last week
have already dipped out which is kinda sad, but that's just how opening an area
goes!
This week we had MLC.
It's so weird to be a zone leader for any zone other than the South side zone,
I had been the ZL there for so long that MLC was different for some reason
haha. It was so good though! I got to go on a double exchange with my boy in
the YSA Elder Safley, and he doesn't have a car either. So we needed to grab
the car from another companionship, and got to his apt by 9:00, and then
realized they didn't have a parking space.... So we drove around for LITERALLY
2 HOURS trying to find a place to park! There are times I just want to curse
this wicked city. Thank goodness I'm on a bike. So we didn't get in until 11:30
that night. We tried. But MLC was straight fire, and then in our zone meeting
the next day we gave an awesome training about exceedingly great faith and it
was LEGENDARY! It was so awesome!!
We were able to get in
with this Nigerian couple as well that we street contacted into last week, and
they made us some spicy Jolloff rice and Moi Moi (the fish loaf stuff) and it
was Elder Christensen's first time having Nigerian food and he was suffering!
It was so funny. But it felt good to be teaching Nigerians again! We've already
found quite a few up here and there are several buildings just like the Lowe
building! They just have better security so it's harder to get in.
Also, for some reason
this week as we've been out and about we've found ourselves in several nursing
homes; one visiting a recent convert, and two others for people we had
contacted. But all the workers there are Nigerian! And it's crazy because some
of those Nigerian workers are now in our teaching pool and have led us to some
more buildings filled with Africans! That's been the funnest part about opening
this area, just having a day with nothing scheduled, and then seeing where the Lord
takes you throughout the day.
On one of these days,
Elder Christensen wanted to wear a trench coat, so he looked like a Jehovah’s
witness. So of course we had to take some JW model pics. (And that day a lot of
people just happened to ask if we were JW, probably because of Elder
Christensen's trench coat. He decided he never wants to wear it again.)
I think the coolest
thing that happened this week was when we were far north in our area, I saw
GABRIEL! One of our recent converts from the South side! He was running and
jumping towards me yelling "ALAGBA JENSEN!!" (Means pastor Jensen) Haha
it was so awesome!
This week was awesome
and I'm pumped for another! Stay blessed!
