So this week was pretty crazy! We were busy out talking to people all the time and just trying to figure out why we still don't have any investigators...I decided to start keeping more thorough records of our potentials though so that we can make sure that if they cancel we can set something up with them...so that is helping. On saturday we had a trade off with our zone leader who is not Chinese speaking, so that was pretty interesting...but we had a miracle..
I don't have heaps of time today...I know shocker...but on saturday(the trade off) we had 3 potentials and they all fell through....it was horrible haha. But we were waiting in the library for the most solid of the three and we had called a member to come out with us...He is a just newly baptized chinese member named peter and he is pretty cool! But we were waiting and we realized that the potential wasn't going to show...so we didn't know what to do...while we were considering our options someone who looked chinese walked by and kind of turned his head at us...I got a prompting that we needed to talk to him so I just swung my head and started talking....turns out the guy is from Taiwan and had only been here for 6 days...he had met with missionaries on and off there and basically came to Australia looking to learn english and start a new life...we told him our situation and asked if he wanted to meet right then and there....and he was like okay yeah! Hahahah so peter and I taught the lesson while our zone leader just kind of zoned out...it was weird hahaha. But he came to church a couple days ago and we met with him yesterday and set a baptismal date for the 21st of may! Pretty quick, but we have faith!!!!!!!! Yeah so that was a great plus and an awesome miracle! His name is Timothy!
That was pretty much our week! Sorry, yesterday was a public holiday and I won't be emailing next week because of Mother's Day! So happy Mother's Day to all!
