I can't.
This week, we've had some progress occurring in the district! Right now there are 4 baptismal dates. I'm excited!
Elder Swoboda and I went over to Teresa's on Wednesday. We taught her, fully, the Gospel of Jesus Christ. The spirit was really strong in that lesson. Afterwards, we set a date with her, for the 14th of september! It was pretty cool, actually. We wanted to help Her come up with a date that she felt comfortable working towards. When we suggested the 14th to her, she told us that that's the same date that she'd been feeling as well. She's had some real hard times making it to this point, but it's helped build her faith along the way. She came to church sunday, and another sister mentioned to us "She takes notes during relief society! Who takes notes?" (She was joking, but wow, she's really solid!)
Virginia and everybody are awesome. They've been coming to church the last two weeks now, and they're committed to continuing. We went over on Wednesday to teach them again, and straight up, before we could ask, they told us that they've been doing their best to read scriptures together, and to pray individually and as a family! Molly's partner, Pita, has been coming to church along with everyone, and he has been showing a lot of interest as well. We hope he becomes an investigator soon.
President Lindsay came to our district meeting this Tuesday, and joined in. It was good. Afterwards he took us out to lunch, and had a chat with us :) After he dropped us off at our flat, and had a quick look around (never been to this one before). Apparently it's been used by the mission for a VERY long time, and it's getting pretty old. So the next day the senior couple that does housing came by and said "We're moving you to a new flat in a few weeks!" Sudden. It's probably for the best, though, since our plumbing just quit working this morning. Anyway.
Saturday we went on exchanges with the zone leaders, Elders Hall and McNamee. I went with Elder Hall in their area, and elder Swoboda stayed in Greenmount with McNamee. It was a lot of fun, and Elder Hall and I got a lot of good work done in their area.
Hahaha! We were talking to a less-active member, and one of their kids came up to us, (about 8 yrs old) and asked us where we were from. I told him I was from America, and he seriously said "You're not from america! You're not black!" This, from an 8 year old. XD
So, it's the last week of the transfer! Suddenly, more and more missionaries I Know are finishing. Scary.
I love you all! Please stay safe, and everyone gets a hug from me :)
Love,
Elder Reeder
