Week 13 - Not much

So there is a couple of things i forgot to mention that happened last week, but it was a little crazy. So Tuesday 2 weeks ago we had a lesson at the church, and when it was over we smelled something a little funny. It smelled like birthday candles so we went into the kitchen, and there was a fire on the stove! The entire room was filled with smoke, and we had to spray it with a fire extinguisher! Funny story but me, Elder Jensen, and sister Chan really didn't know what to do. First, we tried to scoop the flame into the sink, but that actually made things worse! I think there mus have been some oil or something on whatever was burning. So i turned to the fire extinguisher and handed it to Elder Jensen. He was like "you do it!" then i said i have never used one before! He then replied "Either have I!" So yeah that was the first time I've ever used one before haha. There wasn't any damage, but since there are a total of like 5 windows in our building we had to just sit there and let the smoke slowly roll out, but there was no damage, and no one was hurt so I guess its just a fun story to tell. Sister Chan's 2 grand kids were there, and the older one was supposed to watch the younger one, but that didn't happen haha. We didn't know what to do, so we called brother Lin of the bishopric, and he had a little "chat" with the grand kid on the phone haha!

Another thing. So every Wednesday we volunteer for like 4 hours at a charity near my area called Crossroads and there I saw a centipede that was a good 8-10 inches long! It was massive, and one of the workers was like KILL IT THEY'RE POISONOUS!!! so Elder Ledingham got a shovel and destroyed it, and to finish it off he dropped a decent size boulder on it like 5 times. So gross bugs are kind of a thing here. Also every night we get into a mini war with cockroaches in our apartment. They like to hangout in our kitchen where our food is, and we will not allow it, so we team up with our flip flops and just kill every cockroach we see. 

So today is not actually my p day, it was moved to Friday because we get to go to the temple this Friday!! and they were nice enough to allow us to email today because everyone's' families would have gone insane because they didn't get an email.

Well onto my week, it was kind of a down week. We didn't teach a lot of lessons, and it was a lot of walking around to try and find people. We did get a lot of potentials, but we are hoping to do a little better this week. I have to make a lot of phones calls which really sucks because our phones are super old and you can't hear, and to add onto that I don't know how to just talk to someone. About the only thing I can do is say can we meet.... so that's always really stressful. 

Well I'm running a little low on time, but I love you all!!
