Cheers mates!
Ha ha. This week has been cray cray. On Wednesday, I got my new comp Elder
Poole. He is kinda funny but more about that later...
Anyways, we went to the shops to grab some 2-Minute Noodles and as we were leaving, this guy was yelling at his wife/girlfriend. He was swearing at her and she was crying... we were pretty mad about it but we minded our own business until he started pushing and hitting her. Then he grabbed her hair and started dragging her down the walkway. Honestly, my mission flashed before my eyes and I imagined myself being sent home for beating a guy... but then, as I was about to yell at him, he let go of her then stormed off the train. We stayed with the girl and talked to her for a bit and tried to help her... she was grateful but didn't want our number. We told her she could call us if she needed anything.
So about Elder Poole... he is from Brisbane and does video game programming. He and his brother make their own games he showed one of our investigators one its like you're a fox and you have to shoot all these chickens... its an iPad game. Anyways, he is funny like that. He kinda looks like Zach Levi... kinda, not really though. He is tall too... like 6'7" or something.
On Friday, we went to a Vietnamese restaurant with Wyman. He
told us his family is having some troubles right now and he will probably be
moving back to Malaysia. I hope he does well there. We will miss him. At the
restaurant, I'm pretty sure I ate cow tongue. I ordered a beef soup and
it had all kinds of beef from like tail and stuff but there was this one part
that didn't have a grain to it. You know when you cut meet and there are sinews and
stuff but they all go the same direction? This was just a solid seamless chunk
of meat. It was chewy and weird but it tasted good. So, yeah, cow tongue is on my
list of foods now.
We had a massive thunder storm last night... kept me up all night. I made burritos this week too! I took pictures, but I forgot my camera cord so I might not be able to send them this week. The burritos were good like Chipotle. Well, not as good. There were some issues, but they made me very happy!
We had
an awesome lesson with Hannah and Alex last night. We shared about Aaron
teaching King Lamoni's dad and asked if they really wanted to know if God was
there. They said, "Yes" and we promised them if they would read the Book of Mormon
every day and pray about it, they would receive an answer from God. Then, we shared the story of Elijah in 1 Kings (1 Kings 19:9-18) when he heard the still small voice and
we explained how they can recognize their answer when it comes. I have great
hopes for them!
