Short Q&A

Short email today...he mostly answered a few of these questions:
  • What are your social media rules?
  • What's the ceremony to mark one year in your mission?
  • What differences have you noticed between your new mission president and your old one?
  • How are your investigators doing? 
  • Have you picked up any Spanish? :)
  • What percentage of missionaries in your mission are really hard working and what are the craziest stories you've heard about missionaries? (Tonight at dinner we were talking about some of the wilder stories from our missions, like the elders on Shetland in dad's mission who grew beards and got busted because their faces were sunburned on the top but white where they had shaved, haha.)
  • What are you most grateful for after one year on your mission?
  • What are the biggest lessons you've learned this past year?
  • Did you get your birthday package yet? (And I guess related, when is zone conference?)
Hey all!

Thanks so much everyone for the birthday wishes! I got the package, and I loved the notes from everyone.

So for social media rules, there's quite a couple different rules. I can message people on Facebook and messager if they're in my area for finding and teaching people, communicating with people we're teaching, making posts and stories. We can use it to talk to family and people from back home on p days, like any emails. 

There's a tradition to burn an item of clothing for each landmark date you hit. For 6 months, a tie, year, a shirt, 18 months are pants and 2 years a suit. 

Luckily, our mission is very obedient. There aren't a lot of crazy things that happen in our mission, and they haven't happened her for a long time. 

This week we had zone conference, and we found a new investigator. Her name is Wendy, and she's pretty cool! We're going to be teaching her on Thursday. 

Love you all so much! Have a good time in England!

Crazyness

Wow, hello everybody! This last week's been absolutely crazy. First off, I'm getting transferred to Bathurst, I'll be serving with Elder Boardman, he's from Holladay too, we're super excited! I was also called to be the French district leader, so I'll be working on training for the French missionaries too. Really looking forward to it! Second off, the French temple trip. Holy cow, best part of my life. Long story though. To start, Elder Greenburg and I had to drive separately from the other missionaries. They were taking two members, Anik and Renaud, to Mirimichi, where they met more members there to take the members the rest of the way. They picked up Elder Boardman there as well, and came the rest of the way down. On the other hand, Elder Greenburg and I went to Fredericton, picked up Sister King and her harp, and drove with her all the way to Halifax. When we got to Truro, we got this HUGE storm. It was absolutely crazy, people were sliding off t...

Busy as bees

Hey all, Glad to know I'm not the only one who's had a super crazy week! It's been so busy, you're right, I've been more busy now on my mission than any time so far! So far this transfer, we've picked up 7 gators, and this coming week we should see it jump to 13! (But more on that later.)  Wednesday was the start to our madness. We had district council in Miramichi, so we carpooled up with the Amherst sisters. It was lots of fun, it was one of the sister's last days, cause her group was going home in the middle of the transfer instead of the end. She actually was in my first district too, so it was really weird to see her go. Later that night, we had a DA (dinner appointment)  with this member family who invited some neighbors over. They were from Newfoundland, and man, they were weird, haha. They had a really strong accent too, which made it pretty funny. It was good though, cause they are interested in learning more, and said we would be able to se...

Q & A

Questions we asked this week: Ainsley says, "Does he still remember us?" haha What are the highlights of your week? What are your insights on ministering? What's the schedule coming up, so we can be aware? How was the conference with Elder Haynie? Why haven't you sent any photos lately?????? Hey all, It's been a busy week again, LOTS of travel. We went down to Halifax on Wednesday, stayed in Moncton for the night, and had Zone Conference on Thursday. So we were out of town for quite a while, but they were pretty good meetings.  First, MLC. We didn't do a lot, we pretty much told Elder Haynie what our mission was like so he could know what to do and say for the conferences. He was super suprised at how obedient our mission was. He kept asking if there were little groups of Elders who would heckle, or be disobedient, etc... and he was amazed at how that's not a problem. He was also pretty impressed by how hard working our mission was. We ...
