Rundown for this week

Hey everybody,

Glad to hear that things are going good back home. I'll try to answer the questions as best I can. 

Did you get your package before you left your last area?
No. I still haven't gotten it. This is one of the reasons I thought sending it to Erich would have been better, because other missionaries don't care as much about other people's stuff. Caribou lost my package, and then found it in Woodstock,  (NO IDEA how it got there) we tried to get it as we drove past going to transfers, but Woodstock elders weren't at their apartment, they were at Houlton WITH my package. 

I assume I should sent packages to the mission office now?
Yes. Send it to the mission office. 

Tell us all about your new area. Do you have investigators there? Tell us about them...
Bathurst is super awesome. I love Bathurst. We have three investigators who are going to get baptized this transfer, and they are the best. They're names at Nik, Rachelle and Tommy. They are some of the best people ever. They've had us over for dinner twice. They came to church this last Sunday.

Do you and Elder Boardman share a flat with other missionaries?
Elder Boardman and I don't share an apartment, it's just us.

How big is your ward/branch there?
The Bathurst branch has a building!!! There's around 18 or 20 members. They're super awesome. We have some really cool members, the Edwards especially. He's the branch president. 




How many French speaking missionaries are there in the mission now? 
What are the areas they serve in besides Edmunston and Bathhurst? 
What do you have to do as a district leader?
There are 11 French missionaries. The French areas are Edmundston, Bathurst, and Dieppe. My job as district leader means I make a training plan, and implement it. For French. I also have to organize a trip to St. Pierre.

Anyway, we had a crazy week. Elder Johnson, one of the elders in our district, is training this transfer, but all the flights were cancelled, so Johnson was with us for three days. 

We were in Moncton for a bit, WE FOUND A MEXICAN PLACE AND GOT A BURRITO!!!! I cannot tell you how happy I was to eat MEXICAN. After that we went back to Mirimichi, the next day all the way back to Bathurst, where Nik and Rachelle and Tommy feed us cookie dough cheesecake. After that, we drove all the way back to Moncton, and to Mirimichi, and then all the way up to Bathurst again for church.


Also, while we were in Moncton, I saw a clip from the Kentucky/Buffalo game, where are we in the tourney? Did one of you make a proxy bracket for me?

I am taking more photos than I am sending. I can only send so many in the email, otherwise it's in a drive, and every time someone wants to look at them, I get an email, that I can't open till p day to give them permission.

Anyway, busy, but it's been super fun! Love you guys!

Transfers!!!

Hello!  HAPPY BIRTHDAY Ellie!!!!! I hope you had a great one!  So yes, I got transfered!! I'm going to Fredericton with Elder Olsen. We're going to be zone leaders, and I'm super excited!! Elder Olsen is one of my favorite elders, so we're going to be having a great time! They closed down Dieppe, so there are only two French areas now, Edmundston and Bathurst. Elder Smith went to Bathurst. The French areas are in New Brunswick, but the majority of the areas are English (like mine).  I had a pretty good week. Deji got baptized!!!!! It was so, so cool. I was one of the elders who found him, and I had a chance to teach him on exchanges. Then Sunday was really good too.  I'm doing really good health wise! I've had no problems. We found someone pretty cool. Her name is Monica, we found her through Facebook. We're going to teach her again tonight.  I liked going to the zoo a lot. We have played Settlers of Catan a lot together, except it...

Still no snow on my end

Questions we asked: How's it going with Wendy, Jacob and Brendan?  Any new investigators? How's it going with Elder Pitcher? Are you still a ZL? How was your week? Do you have the chance to exercise and play the piano there? Are you brushing and flossing at least twice a day?  What are you thinking career wise? You said that observing your mission presidents had given you insight on that... Hey all, Glad to hear things are going well back home. Funny that you should bring up taxes, there is a YSA member here who just came up from Texas, and during our lesson he kept talking about how ridiculous the taxes are here compared to back in the states. He's originally from here, but he goes to school there and is back while they figure out his visa stuff. He joined the Church down there, going on to show that America is the promised land!  Things are going well on my end. Still no snow, although there's a lot of wind now, and it's getting colder. The ...

Hey all, Glad to hear there’s been a good first week of summer for everyone. Sorry if this email is a little shorter, we had a bunch of car stuff to do at the start of the morning, and then we had scheduled to go seaglassing with the Lows this afternoon, which was really fun. I found a couple cool pieces, some are kinda rare, so it’s pretty neat. Peggy’s Cove is really pretty, there’s lots of beautiful parts of the maritimes, and it has a big place in literature. Ann of Green Gables (which he obviously has never read, since he spelled it without an e!)  is the most well known, but another popular figure is Evangeline. She comes from a poem about the Acadian removal, I want to read it when I get home, cause it sounds really cool.  Highlight of my week was definitely the baptism. Nadia got baptized on Saturday, she was someone we found in Moncton through the members there. Elder Holman and I started teaching her, then I got transferred to Halifax, and then Elder Hol...
