This week has been pretty tough. We haven't had much success in the area of Success. (the town I live in is named Success, Western Australia), but we had a couple conversations with some people. I was giving my companion some tips I learned in psychology. If you want to hand someone a card, you need too have it out already and in the motion of handing it to them then they will take it. As a result, we have handed out many more cards that just have questions on them like. "Whats the purpose of life? go to mormon.org." Haha, maybe it will help.
This week we cleaned out an inactive guys house. His name is Linton and he has 3 little kids who are really cute, but really need some discipline haha. They don't live in the best environment because Linton is struggling with word of wisdom problems. He has a really hard life because his wife left him and he is trying to make ends meet. The house is really dirty because the kids throw trash everywhere because nobody has taught them anything, but we went over there and cleaned the whole place and got the kids to help too. He really appreciated us and he came to church yesterday. The other Elders taught him a lesson about how we go to church not for the Missionaries or the Bishop, but it's to show our appreciation to Jesus Christ and when we show the faith he will help us through our addictions.
We ran into a Chinese lady who didn't speak English and offered her free English class and she barely understood. We gave her our number and she actually called us. we haven't had anyone call us unless it was other missionaries so far. She said she was going to come so that is cool!
