Sooooo one funny thing that happened this week is there was this ancient Asian lady walking down the street and i said hi to her and she just started smiling and grabbed my hand and was kissing it and all that and when i finally got my hand back we asked her how things were going and she said they were going good and then she started singing as loud as she could. she sung the first few words in like every christian song i have ever heard. and then she asked us to sing with her so we sang in the middle of hundreds of people with this old lady haha. She was awesome. We got a picture with her i will send.
So the other morning i put the sugar out for the parrot bird things and went to do my studies. like 45 min. into our personal study the parrot things sounded way louder than normal so we went out of our study room and there was like 20 of these birds in our flat just flying (and pooping) everywhere! i had forgotten to close the window! man it was crazy trying to get them all out of there haha.
On the more spiritual side of things though i love it here. We just walk around all day and talk to people on the streets. We stand on boxes and talk to a whole crowd we talk to people sitting on benches we talk to people at stop lights we talk to people as we are walking. I just love it! Most of them are never interested but it so worth it when you find the one that is. We are working with some less active members and we haven't been able to meet with any of our investigators yet because its finals right now so they are all crazy busy because everyone in Sydney is a student pretty much. but finals end this week so the work should start to pick up again. And it has been raining since i got here but it has finally stopped!
We taught English class on Thursday and it was hilarious! So i teach the beginners class while my companion teaches the intermediate class. So on Thursday we were teaching about animals and there names. So i would right the name of a animal on the board and they would all try to say it and i would help them and then i would make the sound it makes and they would all make it back and it was just so funny to watch. Then there was a really awkward experience .... So we went around the room and each person said there favorite animal and i would kinda talk about each one after. It got to this one Indian man and he said "cow" as his favorite and i was like ya cows are awesome we get beef and milk and ribs and all this good stuff from cows and he kinda looked angry and said he was a vegetarian. I was like oh cool. and we moved on. I didn't realize till later that Indian people worship cows!!!! i felt so bad! so i had to go and apologize to him after my class was over.
Anyways its all going good here. My companion is great and we are smashing the work.
Love you all heaps
