I swear. This week it's switched from chinese to arabic speaking. We've talked to a dozen arabic speakers about how to improve the work and get people together to teach those recently moved to Canada. Specifically for our one Arabic speaking investigator Hani.
He kind of popped out of nowhere. Coming to church with his buddy Awad (who's a member that we're working with to go to the temple) and expressing through very broken English and a lot of hand signals that he had a desire to be baptized.
Something interesting about those from the middle east, those that grew up between India to Egypt. One concept they are absolutly fascinated by is the idea that we can be free from sin. Or clean from sin. I don't know why that is, but after talking and getting over our shock that a man had literally walked on our lap ready to be baptized we began teaching him. Teaching him is fun, beacuse Awad comes and we have a game of charades combined with gospel principles.
Besides that we had one of the emergency moves that seems to pop up every once and a while. This one wasn't because they had to much stuff to move by themselves, but because it was so hot outside and they were so tired that they needed a few pairs of extra hands. Five minutes in and we were all sweating. it was fun though, we had the chance to talk with members and less active members about their families, what they loved and desired. I hope it will lead into something more down the road.
Love you all. God loves you!
