Week 64 - Training Begins 💪🏋‍♂️

Hey everyone! As the title suggests, my trainee arrived! His name is Elder Nielson and he's pretty cool! He's fresh out of high school and seems to have a teeny bit of social anxiety, but he's a really fast learner and a super hard worker!

Unfortunately, I'm sick again. Which sucks because Saturday was Elder Nielson's first full day in Canada, and we had to take it slow. Miraculously, we somehow found 4 new people to teach. How? No idea. We only knocked on 1 door that day and it was a family of 3 that was interested in learning more. The 4th was a potential new friend from a while ago that I felt impressed to text, so we did and now we have a return appointment for Thursday. Also, he plans on bringing a friend with him on Thursday! So that'll probably be another new friend.

For context, for many areas in the mission, the goal for the whole week is 2 new friends… we found 4 in a day… in the Bible belt of Canada. Miracles happen!

Honestly, that's all I can think to write right now. Lots of stuff happened this week but my brain is very foggy. Don't worry though! Today I got some Nyquil, and that stuff tends to work really well for me.

It's a great day to be a missionary!
