We had a busy week, and it went by so fast!
We had two exchanges this week, so we felt like we weren't really
companions. On one of our exchanges though, we had such a cool
tender mercy!
I was with Hermana Karpa and we
were walking to Sister Lau's to help her with her English class and it
was POURING rain. We were completely soaked, and I found out that my
raincoat isn't as waterproof as I thought, hahaha. The water from skirt
was dripping down my legs into my boots and the wind was blowing so hard
we couldn't use umbrellas. It was great! ;) It made us appreciate dry
clothes and shoes a lot more. So we got to the appointment, shared our
message, and then started putting our coats/rain boots back on. Sister
Lau was like, "sisters, I drive you home." Tender mercy! We were able to
go back to our apartment and have enough time to put our stuff in the
drier. Then for tender mercy #2, we had talked about chocolate chip
cookies that morning walking to Sister Lau's, and all day I wanted
chocolate chip cookies so badly! We went to another appointment at
Sister Miner's house and when we stepped in the door, she was putting
cookies in the oven, and they just so happened to be chocolate chip. :)
She told us that she felt prompted to make them for us. The Lord is so
good to us.
Yesterday, we were on a car
fast, and we met the most hilarious people! We met this older guy who
was wearing a cowboy hat and jamming out to rap music while he cleaned
his pick-up truck. We met this young mom walking down the street pushing
a stroller, so we said, "Hi! How are you?" She said, "I'm not
interested!" (Kind of a strange mood to be in). Then we knocked
on this door, and a lady opened. We asked how she was doing and she told
us, "I'm really angry. Why did you knock? I have a doorbell right there
and you didn't use it." Then we offered to do free housework for her
and all hard feelings cleared up. She's going to let us come back in two weeks as long as we don't try to convert her... ;)
We
went to downtown Toronto this morning, and it was so cool! There were
so many people. We got to see the CN Tower, Union Station, the
waterfront area, a cool park with old trains, and a bunch of cool
people. It took up a lot of our time, so I probably won't have time to
email a lot of you back, but I love you!
Love,
Sister Dille
