Hi guys!
So
this week, we were in a trio, and it was a ton of fun! We did so much
work! Everyday we would take a different member out with us in the
evening, so one of us would go with them and then the others would go
somewhere else, and everything ran so smoothly! It was great! In 7 days
we went out with 8 different members to teach!
And we found a lot of new people to teach this week as well!
On
Friday night I went on splits with a member to go teach, but all the
lessons and backup plans that we had fell through, so we just ended up
trying by stopping and talking to people on the doorstep and on the
streets at night, and I was pretty disappointed because I thought I'd
let the member down. But then on Sunday that guy gave a talk, and in his
talk he talked about how much he had loved going out with the
missionaries and how it had totally set up his weekend! In fact all the
members that came out with us are just going on and on about how great
it was! It was a good week for sure.
Also,
that member who gave the talk his name is Joel Miller and he served his
mission in Calgary maybe seven or so years ago, maybe more, but he lived
for like a week or two in the Ockey's house when they had missionaries
living with them, and he talked about how they would be studying and the
teenage son was always playing video games. Small world in the church.
There's
also a member who lives in this ward who lived in Calgary for a few
years, and his sister still lives out there her surname is Erasmus.
And there's another member who just came back from staying in Calgary for a week with her family in Mackenzie Town.
So lots of people here know Calgary.
I'm sorry Mama but nobody knows Edmonton....
But
anyways, great week here and I love being a missionary, oh and transfer
news! I'm staying with Elder Boswell here in Huddersfield, but Elder
Korte is moving to Skipton to serve with Elder Narine, who I lived with
in Hull, who is the Homie.
And Elder Ma'a is moving to serve in North Shields!
And
in our flat we're getting two new Elder's, who are area booking the
area, and one of them is going to be a brand new trainee!
So
in the district now, there is going to be three missionaries who are in
their first 12 weeks program being trained! And I have to be the leader
of this group and the good example for them, which should be
interesting, but fun!
Also we went to York for a meeting on Tuesday I'll send you some pics!
Love you guys!
