Well, this week was pretty exciting!
On Friday, we got onto a bus to go straight south to Hawick for an appointment. After 40 min, I looked up. Hmm... That hill looks familiar. Like the one outside Edinburgh... (mission HQ, 30 miles to the north) My heart sunk when I realized it was. So! We quickly got off the bus, in the middle of nowhere, and waited for the next bus coming south. So we were a couple hours late to our appointment. '~' That night, we realized the irony of it all: we were going to share a talk titled: "Let's not Take the Wrong Way." XD I died when I realized that...
Later that day, we went to someone's house, and were parched, having walked across the whole town to get there. They offered us water, which we gladly accepted. It tasted a bit funny so afterwards my companion asked me what I thought of the water. I knew it wasn't clean, and thought it was maybe soap or something. "Yeah, that was alcohol" My jaw dropped. So! You've heard of second hand smoke, and now I've experienced second hand alcohol! Not an experience I am keep to repeat. XP
Otherwise, we had another great Zone Development, where we played ultimate frisbee, and did another murder mystery! :D We had a blast, and I didn't die! So that's a success in my book!
We've found one new person to teach, which is the first new in many months. So that was really exciting! He's a born-again christian who was once in the phillipines to convert catholics, and did door-to-door proselyting like us! So he's the first born-again that has ever really listened to me on my mission yet, and seems to honestly be seeking truth! :D
Thanks for your prayers, letters, and support!
Keep Calm and Ride On!! (Hawick Commonriding is on this week! ^0^ Not that we'll get to see it, seeing 90% of the entire town will be drunk.)
