Hello, Last Week of the Transfer

Picture 1- Pac-man!

 (Sorry, I didn't take many pictures this week, and I'm not in either of the ones I did take! Oh well.)
 
Well hello there! It's the last week of this transfer, but you can still mail post to the streatham address. I'll let you know if it changes in next week. Next week the transfers are on Monday, I think, so that's good! I don't know if I will stay or go, but I actually think that I'm going to stay. But I don't know everything, so I guess we'll find out! :)
 
Well this week has been pretty good. I feel less controlled by the area and more in control of it. I'm still getting the hang of it though. But this week we had a Zone meeting with President Shamo, and that was really good. He is such a great guy. He interviewed us as well to see how we are doing, and when I when into mine my mind just went blank, so I guess I didn't really have any big concerns or problems! :D Also this week, we met with this guy who has been playing football with us. He's a great guy, and we had a really good teach with him. He opened up to us, and we are now trying to help him with what's going on with his life by having him grow closer to God. Because sure we can help him, but God can help him in the areas we can't! So that was a good thing that happened this week.
 
Hmm, something else that happened this week... Ah! Ok, on Friday night when we were returning to our flat, about 4 Muslims stopped us and started asking us a lot of questions and basically tried telling us how Christianity didn't make any sense. I explained how it does actually make sense, and started answering their questions but then they just kept talking and talking and then really didn't give me time to talk anymore, which told me that they weren't really asking questions, they were just trying to confuse us or something. So we just left, because it's pointless to talk to someone who isn't willing to listen. (For the record, most Muslims are really nice, but some are just a bit contentious. Just like how there are some contentious people in all religions.)
 
So yeah, those were some things from this week! I got to go, but I love you guys and will email you next week regarding transfers! Bye!
