Hello family & friends,
This is my week....
Sunday. Went to church feeling pretty good. We got
a couple of new people to show up and we were very excited about that.
Monday. P-day. It was super cold outside. It is way to cold to be walking around much. I
finally got grandmas package with all of the fruit rollups and Hi-Chew in them
and that super awesome tie. Please tell her thank you, it means a lot to get
packages!
Tuesday. Was a regular day of walking, teaching and
visiting.
Wednesday. District meeting. I gave a training on
how to be better teachers by centering our teachings on the Covenants of
Christ. I think that it went super great! I knew just what to say,
but my training was cut a little short. I was supposed to have about a half
hour to 20 minutes left for a roll play but our district leader said I only had
about 5 minutes left.
Thursday. I recently got a little step counter to count
my steps and on average we walk about 10 miles every time we go walking around
town, so that's helping me loose a couple of pounds.
Friday. Average walking day. Cold but it helps you walk
faster to stay warm.
Saturday. Towards the end of the day, it was dark
outside. It is getting really warm, really fast here. We took a short cut to our apartment through
the mall and there were tons of people seeing movies and setting up booths in
the hallways.
We were
waiting for the cross-walk light to turn green and there was a guy on the other
side of the road trying to walk across.
He did and almost got hit about 5 times.
When he got to our side I tried to give him a high five for surviving. He
grabbed me by the hand and held it and said " thank you thank
you, uhhh joseph smith?" Pointing to our name tags. We
said, yes that we are Mormons and asked if he goes to church. He said something incoherent and wanted
something to write with to tell us his address.
So he
started drawing squiggles and other things on the paper and he told us that it
was Arabic. He had no idea where he lived and we found out that he was
completely drunk. So we tried to help
him find his home for about 2 hours. I
couldn't stop laughing, he almost passed out and fell on me. He couldn't keep his balance even while just
walking straight. After a long while we final found his house and he went
inside. Lesson leaned…Don’t drink and
walk! Or just Don’t drink. Hopefully we can follow up and help this
man.
and that was my week.
Love you lots,
Elder Vance
