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!

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...

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...

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 ...
