Well my home is a Lotte Castle. Like a brand
named apartment. So it is pretty darn nice. We have hardwood floors, two
bathrooms, a couch, solid kitchen and gym for the complex that we use in the
mornings.
Investigators. So we have
a Nigerian couple who are going to get baptized next Sunday. Their names are
Abby and Ola (like hello in Spanish.) I met them for the first time when they
came to have their baptismal interviews. They are super nice and seem really
prepared. We went to a members’ house for dinner to celebrate them passing the
interview and met a super cool family. The wife is Japanese the Husband
American. They both had two kids with their first spouses, got divorced and now
have one kid of their own. Anyway, they are fun and awesome. To end our
spiritual thought Abby gave the two daughters a talk (like preaching style)
about not comparing and having confidence and stuff. The girls I like really
liked it, and perhaps needed it. It was weird since he works kind of with the
military, we ate like real American food. Pot roast, pasta, brownies and ice
cream :).
We also met with a cool
family whose husband got baptized but wife doesn't as of now want to get
baptized. They come to church and have two adorable daughters. Basically she
said he main concern is happiness in her family, and that that can happen
without baptism. They just seem like a happy, and very energetic family. Well
at least the kids. So those are the investigators right now.
More about elder Picard.
He is from Washington. He played football and basketball. He is pretty tall. He
knows a lot of good Korean slang and stuff. He is very outgoing (to the point
that some may get annoyed.) But I really like him. I like his attitude. He may
not always be the most obedient, or whatever, but he realizes he is imperfect
and tries to improve.
My MTC companion got hit
by a car a little so had to go to the hospital and get class removed and
stitches and stuff. But all is ok now!
My thoughts for the week
are pretty simple. That just complimenting people is awesome. It makes starting
conversations easier, it helps people open up, and it just is a better mindset
to have. To look for the good makes everything, relationships, work, etc.
easier to do. So that is another one of my goals is just to compliment a lot
more. I think it goes with what David sent me. How choosing unity and Zion is
the goal not a return to ease or comfort.
Hurrah for Israel!
