So I'm sorry that I didn't send a blog post last week. I was transferred to Brantford for a few days, and the mission decided to cancel P-Day for the week because some missionaries had a leadership meeting or something. Anyways, the last two weeks have been decent. We are teaching a lot more people now. We have about 9 people in our teaching pool. 3 have baptismal dates, one is thinking about a date and the rest are steadily progressing. Pretty cool, huh? We've met a lot of people while walking around here. We meet people from all around the world everyday! Oh! We also had a baptism on the 8th. The family wanted us to teach their son, so we went through all of the lessons with him and set up the baptism and such. It went well, all up to the point where we realized that he didn't have an interview with the bishop! The bishop was pretty busy that day and said he couldn't do the interview, but then he was able to get a few minutes, so Maxwell got his interview and was baptized. Then on Monday the 9th, I headed to Brantford, the city of God, for three days. It's nicknamed 'The City of God' because of all of the churches there. There are so many! It was ridiculous. I lost count of churches after awhile and decided that I wasn't going to bother anymore. We got to do a lot of contacting and tracking on Monday (seeing as P-Day was canceled), and we got to teach a few people. A person I found there now has a baptismal date! That was pretty cool, but I won't get to see the baptism since it's not in my area. Then, around 8:40, we found this man crying in the park, so we went and talked with him and tried to help him feel better. We then headed home and started planning for the day ahead of us when around 9:20, we heard a knock at the front door. We checked the windows and peep hole, but no one was there. We heard it again, and checked again, but again nothing. Then we heard a knock on the side door, then the window. It was a little freaky. We saw that it was Cameron, the guy from the park. He followed us home and said he still wanted to talk, but it was about 9:30 and this point and we felt a little uncomfortable, so we had to send on his way. We went to his house the next two days, but he wasn't home at all.
So my time in Brantford was pretty enjoyable. We got to teach a few heathens and harlots, so that was productive. Then we headed back to drop me off in Hamilton at 4 on Wednesday, but the other elders never showed up until 8, so we did some more contacting for a few hours until they showed up. The next few days consisted of a lot of walking and quite a bit of teaching, so we've been pretty busy. All in all, my life out here has been really busy and very tiring. Some days go by quickly, so go by slowly. The slower days suck but hey, such is life. Anyways, that's life for me in the mission. Hope to hear from you guys and have an excellent summer!
