| Elder's Eating Pizza at Panorrotis |
This week started off reallllllly slow. Haha. Monday night
Pulu wasn't feeling very well, and all day Tuesday he was super sick. The zone leaders
came for studies with us, so I was studying and Pulu was in bed, and then he
decided he didn't feel good enough to go out that day.....so we stayed home and
he slept all day trying to feel better. Made for a boring day. Haha, I was reading
Jesus the Christ. Wednesday I went on
exchanges with Elder Swacina, it was actually nice because Pulu was still really sick. So I
went out to Swacina's area, and Pulu and Rasmussen stayed in the boarding while
Pulu rested.
Thursday we went out and tried to start getting all caught
up, so we worked all day and then the zone had planned to go to dinner at a place
called Panorrotis. It’s a pizza place, and on Thursday nights they have a
special where it's all you can eat. Oh. My. Gosh. The mission record was 42
pieces of pizza....and Pulu decided to beat that. Ha ha ha. He ate 43 slices of
pizza! Then he was bursting at the seams...haha.
Friday was the 4th of July!! Not really a holiday here, so
there wasn't any fire work shows or anything.....but the zone planned to go out
to dinner that night again. We all went to a place called starlight diner. I
guess missionaries say it's an "American-like" little diner. So we
went there on Friday night after the day of work and it was really nice! It was
lots of fun :) We actually had lots of
little get togethers this week as a zone! Ha ha, on Saturday we all went to
Elder Beckstead and Cosseys boarding to have lunch. Cossey apparently loves
tacos....so he said that he would make tacos if we all brought something to
chip in. So the zone went there on Saturday afternoon! We brought sour cream,
chips, and salsa, and the others all brought stuff, and we had a really good time!
Sunday was church as usual.... Nothing too exciting! Yomi is
a champ though! We asked him this week if he thought he was ready for baptism, and
he said yes! So we are going to go through the requirements with him this week
and make sure he's living everything. And if he is it should go pretty smoothly
:) he even walked to church this week without his brother, which is who he
usually comes with :)
Also at church there was a sister Vuyo. She is an
investigator that we have that I've never been able to see all transfer! Her
husband is a member and they have a couple little kids, and it's amazing how
since I've never been able to meet her, she comes to church on Pulus last Sunday
there so I can be introduced. She's really cool though, and I'm hoping we can
start teaching her regularly!
This week we got a few referrals. We have been handing out
the pass along cards with the "SMS this number with your name and address
for a free DVD" thing, so we got a few of those DVD's this week. We've
been trying to contact them all. Also. This is kinda cool. A referral came in
through the phone and also with a Book of Mormon, and this guys name is Jimmy.
The missionaries in Zimbabwe had been teaching him, and they said he had been
taught everything, and was ready for baptism! We have called him a few times,
but every time he's been out, so this week I'm going to really focus on finding
this guy! That would be pretty cool if he's completely ready!
This week, with Pulu being sick half of it, we weren't able
to see as many people as I would have liked, but we got to start getting caught
up, and hopefully next week is better. We are still seeing Donald, Kevin and Tania,
the Zulu family, and a few others that I have high hopes for!
Transfer news is tonight too!! I'm sure Pulu Is
leaving.....so I will just be waiting to hear who my new companion will be!
Love, Elder Truscott
