I Am 20???

First off, I am still a little boy! This is weird that I am not a teenager so I guess now is when I have to go from childish to childlike but it is all good!

We had a special training this week since the church has come out with a curriculum that the mission presidents follow. So they have been training all the missionaries on that. So we had a training on that stuff and the material they have is so incredible. First off, it makes role plays so much better and the spirit when you teach is tangible. I love how we have modern inspiration! The church is true, straight up!

I was able to spend some quality time with the mission president's wife. My companion and I had to make a trip to the mission office for some stuff and Sister Simmons was there and she said well instead of you taking the train there let me take you so she did and took us to our area. On the way she said are you hungry and we said that we were. So in the Winston Hill area we stopped at a resturant called Pancakes on the Rocks. Basically an IHOP. And as we were walking up to the doors the Winston Hill elders walked by so Sister Simmons being the woman she is invited them as well. It was fun spending time with her. She is a very funny and sweet lady. And I love her to death.

The ward had a fun activity this past week. Karaoke! It was good because a lot of them knew how to sing so it was quite entertaining. And no, I did not participate.

On the missionary front it has been pretty good! We have been walking, tracting and biking everywhere. It is pretty tiring but I love it. We have had heaps of bike trouble so we are trying to figure them out. Flat tyre after flat tyre after flat tyre, no fun but we are making due. We received a member referral from the Chetty family. I actually knew them pretty well when I served in Winston Hills but Zoe Chetty referred her friend who told her she was aspiring to be a Mormon. It was a really good lesson and she really understands it.

Raj and Jeba were really good. They fed us real Indian food which was super spicy and I can't stand that sort of stuff so I was having a real hard time with it and they got a good laugh about it. We taught them about prayer and Raj gave a kneeling prayer. They said they are a bit busy with work for the next few weeks. They are both teachers but in a few weeks they want us to come around again.

It was a good week and I just love this church so much!
