Hello everyone! It's been a really interesting but amazing week! Here's the highlights:
Goods:
-I made it to Port Alberni!
-Elder Walcer is a such a stud(means he's awesome)
-Its so much warmer here on the Island haha
-Lesson with Ken!
-Teaching through music🎼
-Teaching a Jellyfish
Bads:
-I do miss my old district, but its not bad
-The traveling to Port Alberni was Chaos but I made it
So
Port Alberni: Port Alberni is a small town on Vancouver Island that
only has about 18k people here. Its a big downsize from Kamloops which
has over 100k people. Its a pretty serene, quiet town, but is absolutely
beautiful. Picture Pacific Northwest, and Port Alberni is practically
that.
My
new Companion Elder Walcer is seriously amazing, it's awesome because
we both knew each other from the MTC, so we are getting along so well.
Its been a chill, yet fulfilling transfer so far.
Transferring
to Port Alberni: Traveling to Port Alberni was a pain. 3 hours from
Kamloops to Kelowna and stayed the night. Next morning found out after
we got to the airport our flight was canceled and we couldn't get to
Victoria for at least another 35 hours or so. So we took a flight to
Vancouver that night, which was delayed twice before it came. Once we
arrived in Vancouver, we stayed overnight in Richmond with the APs.
Early the next morning, we landed in Victoria after an 11 minute flight
haha. And LUCKILY, everyone had their bags, including my guitar. I then
had another 4 hours before I arrived in Port Alberni. Let's just say I
was VERY tired when I arrived haha.
I think its funny right as I experience snow in Canada I get kicked out to the Island where it doesn't snow haha.
Ken!:
Ken is a guy who has been coming to church for years but has not wanted
to be baptized and is reluctant to listening to missionary discussions.
But he will play rummy with us haha. So we went over and Elder Walcer
was saying we were probably gonna drop him since he's not making
progress. I badly lost in the game of rummy haha. But we had an over TWO
hour discussion with Ken after about Repentance and Baptism. He showed
sincere interest in following Jesus Christ, and we invited him to pray
about Baptism. Hopefully he will follow our invitation.
Me
and Elder Walcer are both guitar players, so we decided that every 1-2
weeks we are gonna perform a hymn arrangement on Facebook! So stay tuned
for the video this upcoming week haha.... also we decided to do a free
beginner guitar class and there is a LOT of interest in that here in
Port Alberni. So I guess I'll be like my sister Grace now and teach
people an instrument haha. But sadly I don't get paid...
Now,
the Jellyfish: We were street contacting at the Port Key(A little
park/wharf downtown) and happened to find a single lone Jellyfish
swimming off the dock. So we thought it would be funny to teach this
Jellyfish the Plan of Salvation. Sadly the Jellyfish didn't show much
interest... darn haha
Anyways, that's it for this week! I'm enjoying this transfer so far! I hope it keeps up! Hope everyone has a great week!
