The vision of the mission

This week we ran all around and just tried to find new people to teach and tried to help the people we are teaching progress towards baptism.

 

monday was a great day. so the vision of the mission is to talk to everyone all the time no matter what. so we were coming back after eating waffles with a companionship in our zone and we were on the metro. i walked on and stood by a man who had a weird box and i swore that i heard a chirp from the box. i thought nothing of it and just stood on the metro. the second chirp caught my attention and then i looked at the man. he shrugged his shoulders and said to me, "c'est la vie.' after this we began talking and i found out that the guy had picked up a bird from the side of the road and he was going to hide it from his landlord and nurse it back to life. The conversation was in heat so we had missed our stop and gone a couple too far which ultimately took 15 precious minutes of our p-day. in the end we fixed an apt with the guy and we went on our ways. we went to his house and he told us he had the bird in the pantry and that the landlord would never find it. We then began to tell him about what we do as misssionaries and all about the book of mormon. He then engaged himself to come to church. Sunday he came half an hour early to church and just sat and waited. After church he told us that he didn't know about all the things he heard and that he was going to call us in a week. That night he called me and we talked a little and he flat out admitted that he really liked church but understood nothing at all because the translation wasn't working. We have another nice rdv with him this wednesday

 

tomorrow we get to see the new vision for the mission and what our goal will be for the end of the year. i really love the mission goals because i love the unity we all have when we have one single thing for which we are working. it's a great thing and i think this next one will be even better!
