Hi!
We
have been running round like madmen this week. I find that we just
teach, teach and teach. Since Thursday nothing major has happened. I
don't know if we have been bad missionaries but it doesn't seem that we
get any rest at all. I suppose it is better to be busy anyway. Actually,
that's a lie. I had a very interesting Valentines day. It seemed like
something out of a horror film. We took part in an exorcism, but that is
a story to be revealed after my mission. Pretty interesting stuff.
Referals
have been falling from the heavens, all we do it teach and contact
refferals, any average missionary would think we were in Utah, it is
exactly the polar opposite of what my mission was like in the beginning
where we were out for a good 5+ hours just talking to people on the
streets. Don't get me wrong that stuff is effective too, but I would
rather teach.
I'm
getting aware that my e-mails might be getting shorter, but. We don't
have much of a Preparation Day any more. I'm going to hit the Gym hard
today, we have a home made gym in the 3rd floor of our flat, it is
pretty nice if you ask me. Our flat is really nice, just super cold.
This
week should be pretty busy, we are going to spend a lot of time in
North Wales. Another Tuesday - Saturday away from my companion, hectic,
eh? Something that I was thinking about is Scouse people. I love people
in/ from Liverpool. Here in Runcorn, it just seems to be a spill over
town from Liverpool, consequently I would say over 90% of people are
from Liverpool. I would trade my accent for a scouse accent with out
hesitation. A pattern that I notice in my missionary work is: the closer
things get to Liverpool the better things get, the people will talk to
you, they will give you the time of day, any time, any where. I love
hopping on a Bus and talking to someone from Liverpool, they just open
up and tell you the whole story of the lives they have lived. In a very
comical way.
Part
of our area, is very into the Country as soon as we move out of the
vicinity of Liverpool and towards the country it just seems that the
people are proud and they slam the doors shut. I would say there is a
very real reason that the early apostles came to Liverpool first out of
America, they knew that the people back then just like today would
welcome them with warm hearts and open up to them just like they do
today. I love Liverpool!
With Love,
Elder Sapaden
