This week we taught 8 lessons. That is not very many. This place is in dire need of the gospel. However, almost every minute of last week we were working our booties off. I have slept well this week.
On Friday, we did something interesting. As you can tell, this area is a little slow. We have trouble finding people to teach. So, the other elders (Dansie, Proctor, and Oldroyd) volunteered me to go and play violin on the busy street here. So, I played for an hour, and they talked to more people than we ever have in that hour. It was quite interesting, and we got some good Gospel talk going on. A bunch of people tried to give me money, it was pretty sweet (but I declined politely to each one of them) Now I know how I am going to pay for college--I would have gotten probably about 15€ in one hour. That is pretty good.
These gloves were specially created for fiddling in the cold.
Saturday, we did church tours. We brought a white board out into the street, and directed people over to the chapel. We gave some tours, and found some really golden people. The best part of it was, we were taking shifts on the street and in the chapel, and both companionships had contacted the same guy walking around the street. He was a Catholic priest, and he was really impressed to find 4 young men leave everything behind to come and preach the word, to serve, and to heal. It turns out he was on his way to run the local Mass, and he totally gave a shout-out to us in Mass. (We heard from a friend that was there). HOW COOL IS THAT?? The Lord is seriously blessing this area, and we are privileged to be a part of it.
I'm excited to hear about the ward split! New things are happening in AZ!
This email won't be very long today. I have had to download and upload a lot of stuff.
