This week was probably the most uninteresting I've had so
far on the mish, so don't expect too much. Elder Barber and Sister Schofield
are heading out over the next two weeks. It's pretty weird for missionaries that
have already been here; the 6 of them were together for almost a year straight,
and now they're finally getting broken up.
The language has been coming along really well! People are a
lot nicer when I begin with saying I'm trying to learn Macedonian, and then
eventually they ask why the heck I'm the tiny country of Macedonia. The gift of
tongues is real!
Two recent converts, Zoki and Nejat, are hopefully going to
be getting the Melchezidek Priesthood soon. Elmaz is the only one right now,
and with President Swineford and his family leaving to Moscow in April, we need
to get some people for the branch presidency!
I bought a ping-pong set for about $3 that we set up on our
kitchen table. We've been playing on it with our downtime at night. Sister
Schofields' parents are coming on Saturday, and hopefully they bring some
tennis racquets for Elder Chingas and I :)
We were having a lesson with Elmaz a couple weeks ago when
an old investigator named Alex called us. He disappeared for a bit, and said he
wanted to meet up again. He's a very loud, very funny, and very smart guy. He
works as a tour guy and speaks some really good English. Every lesson, Alex
comes with about 20 questions and just drills us on every one. He's researched
the church for hours on the internet, but seems hesitant to read the Book of
Mormon. The last lesson, he brought a flash drive with pictures about church
history and taught us all about it. It was an interesting lesson. He's a fun
guy :)
