Wow, it's been a long week! Finally have made it around to P-day thanks to Labour Day and Zone Conferences. But we survived and miraculously there is still food on the shelves! (I really have got to start planning my food purchases out with more than one week in mind...) Last week, the District went out to Niagara-On-The-Lake, a beautiful town bordered by Lake Ontario and Lake Erie. While we were there a MASSIVE storm hit, and I swear I have never been that close to lightening in my life. In other words, it was awesome! The week went well, we found several new investigators and Krystal and Evelyn are set to be baptized this coming Sunday, with Housen's baptism the week after. It's so rewarding to see the "fruits of our labors" and to watch people's faith grow. We went over to Gilbert's (our recent convert) for dinner last night and the Millar's, another family in the ward, joined us. It's good to see him really getting settled in and feeling like a part of the ward. Fellowshipping is so important! I'm also super excited because Joanna, another recent convert, just got back from China. We haven't seen her yet, but I am so excited to get to see her again on Sunday. Sister Meng and I have missed her! Exciting event of the week, I accidentally set a rat trap off on my hand this week. Don't recommend. But, all's well, and no worries, our apartment doesn't have rats.Also, a man we contacted on the street in Brampton (I was on exchanges with Sister Tofa), was kind enough to inform us that we were crazy to go on missions because when we got back no one would want to marry us and our "ability to birth children would be gone". I think he maybe was getting 18 months confused with 18 years, but either way, at least I've been warned! Even if that was the case, I'd still say it was worth it. The mission is wonderful and even if things get hard at times and I'm stuck outside in the rain all day, there's nowhere else I'd rather be right now! Keep strong!
