Our first day in the field!

We made arrangements with a sister Gladis Saad to pick us up for service today! She is a Leboniese sister with a young son and daughter who just got baptized this past Saturday. What a lovely Sister! She instantly connected with Nikki, consisdering their Leboniese backgroud in common. She taught us many Arabic words and was super excited to be able to meet "the Sisters from America"! The Chester Hill teriitory has been quite a shock to Nikki and I. Every door is someone from a different part of the world. Chinese, Islamic, Arabic and Leboniese people are behind every door so its been extremely interesting speaking with them. We found it difficult at first (in the States we dont commonly come across many that arent either Christian or Cathlolic) but with all the help from the local brothers and Sisters we've brushed up on our knowlegde of differing religions and have thus been able to establish common ground and feel comfortable with the householders in the territory. Our first day out Nikki was able to place a book and a couple of magazines so it was really nice way to start the week!
