I keep leaving the writing of this email to the last minute and don't have a lot of time again. Sorry this keeps happening.
The big news of the week is that President Peterson challenged us all to get 20 gospel based conversations with people on the street, including some sort of invite, every day, which is double the old daily goal. It's a pretty big change but we have seen a lot of miracles and have had some good fun working to try and hit the goal.
The first night out after the announcement Elder Vernon and I were on exchanges with the Zone Leaders, and I was with Elder Raymond. We got a ton of contacts in, worked really hard, and had a ton of random encounters with really cool foreigners who were actually rather receptive which is pretty surprising. Usually foreigners are hard to contact but we got self contacted by one group of 8 foreign exchange students and then by another guy at a restaurant.
Other cool news, is during a comp Study in a park Elder Vernon and I watched a bird catch about 10+ worms, snakes and bugs. It was just like something out of discovery Channel or animal planet!
For P-day we went to a lot of random stores that have always caught our attention. We went to two pet stores. One huge one that had almost every type of werid fish imaginable and another shop that had a tucan, hawk, ground hog, and a Llama. Pretty crazy stuff!
Have a great week!
Oh I also tried stinky tofu for the first time this week. It wasn't too bad.
Elder Neilson
