What a week! There are
so many significant things that are happening, I can't write about them all.
One is Maltese... So we have this guy, O., who has been coming to church for a while, and in the Maltese Sunday school class the teacher invited him to be baptized on the spot and he said yes. But for some reason that may have to do with the fact that he doesn't speak English, the elders didn't set an appointment up with him till I got here. He came to church yesterday and we planned a lesson through a translator! Ah! Imagine that! I can't even talk to my investigator!! The idea of going super hard with the language and studying for like three hours a day has passed through my head to be honest. But anyway we are hoping he is as ready to be baptized as everyone says and he can do it on Christmas Eve, which would be awesome because it would also mean the zone leaders have to come down to interview him and do the exchange with us they weren’t able to get permission to do!!
Saturday night I had a hot date! Read that again, I'm serious. We went to do a gesso [street contacting with a large chalkboard that they can write stuff on] at the capital, Valletta. It went great except that I have no idea what to say in English, but it was really good. Maltese are super cool people. As we walked to the bus stop we passed a few vendors, one sold this delicious fresh date pop-tart thing [his “hot date”] that was super yummy for just 30 cents.
We don't have much by way of youth in this branch, but we love working with A, the branch president’s son who has put in his mission papers (and as far as I know will be the first Maltese missionary ever). He has a friend who wants to meet with us that we are excited about.
I am learning to love this place and these people. And, oh boy, is this the nicest weather EVER!!! Have a great week, #dawltad-dinja #siiunaluce #lighttheworld.
