This week has been pretty slow.
The weather is getting colder and wetter. We heard we'll get snow tomorrow so that should be pretty fun.
There's nothing really crazy to share I guess. The week has been alright. It's my first time staying in an area with the same companion. It's interesting!
OH! We taught at a college on the island! Swale Campus, Canterbury College. It was pretty fun. We went in not really knowing what to expect.. We planned to share with them the message of the restoration and then have them ask questions. When we got in there I introduced who we were and when it came to Elder Everitt to talk about what we'd share he blanked for about 30 seconds.. I jumped in a said "Hey, we're not perfect. We've never done this before.." and everyone started laughing! Including us. It was a pretty funny start. Then they started asking questions right away about missionary work and such and that of course led right to what we wanted to share and Elder Everitt and I found our words and were able to teach! There were 16 women there and a bloke. The age range was from 16 to 40 so it's was pretty cool to hear some of their questions. We were able to answer them all and even joke around and have fun with them. It turned out way better than we thought and at the end one of the girls even said we changed her mind about Mormons. What made it even better was that we had a less active YSA in the class and she even piped in and shared her testimony of a few things.
Today we had a flat inspection. We passed with flying colours haha.
That's about it. Not much to report. It has been a good week though.
