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's a special kind, called Canaan, another one called Zarahemla, that's been fun. 

I already know my release date. its Aug. 2, 2019. They put it on your ministerial certificate. 

But yea, I'm having a good time. We had exchanges this week with the Zone Leaders. We did it so we could go to a funeral, and I could play the piano and Elder Carlson could sing. It turned out well, we found some less actives to work with through it. 

We also made a ward mission plan with the bishop, and it is really good! It is going to really change this ward for the better. 

Funny story too, so this lady just showed up to church this Sunday, and of course we sat next to her. We got to know her a bit, and found out she's not a member, and was living in the "home" right across the street, and decided to start coming. Well, we got excited about that, and so we asked for her number and set up a time to come by again. Little did we know, she's not fully there, and the "home" across the street was actually a care center. So we got there and she had been talking to everyone else how she has this date with two guys, and they wanted her number, and on and on about us. So once we figured out that her elevator doesn't go all the way to the top, we got outta there pretty quick.

Thanks again. I love you all so so much!

Got my travel plans!

Bonjour tout le monde!        This has been a crazy week! We've been super busy with lessons, we have had two or three lessons a day, and lots of really good devotionals.  On Sunday , we had Chad Lewis come and talk, and that was really cool. He talked about his mission, his career, his chance to do this hike up Kilimanjaro with a bunch of wounded soldiers from Iraq, kinda all over the place. It was more like a slide show than the kind of devotionals before. It was still good, but I definitely preferred Elder Oaks. We watched A Consecrated Missionary, by Tad Callister, for our film after, it was really good. I really love the  Sunday  films, gunna miss that in the field.         I also finally meet some other people going to Halifax! There are 4 sisters, and one other Elder, I'll be flying out with them on the 26th. I'm pretty sure I get to call you guys before I leave the airport on my flight, but I think they talk about t...

First few days!

First few days are down, and it's going good! When I got here I went straight to a lesson in French, and six hours of lessons later I'm supposed to teach a lesson in complete French to an investigator, write a talk in French, and memorize the missionary purpose statement.  Our zone has about 60 missionaries, most speaking French, going to Lyon, France, but some to Paris as well. There are a lot of Haitian Creole speaking missionaries, and some Malagasy speaking missionaries as well. Two are going to New Caledonia (discussed below). I'm the only one going to Canada, let alone going to Halifax.         My companion is Elder Hable (like table but with an H) and he's really good. He's going to New Caledonia, which is by Australia. He took French for 6 years, and he's by far the best of our district so far. He likes baseball, favorite team is the Red Sox, so that's a plus, (Raelene) and is really kind to everyone. He got made the District leader last night, s...

Transfers!

Hey all, Happy Father's day! Hope you had a good one dad + grandpa's. I didn't know if you would've wanted to waste part of your trip to DC calling me, so I didn't try calling. Besides, I want you all to actually be glad I'm home when I get back.  So you're right, my p-day does get messed up because of transfers, but the majority of it was on Monday (not Tuesday) and the rest today (Wednesday). It's ok though because I do have enough time to write some. (This whole week has been so busy I don't even know if I could include everything that's gone down.) We'll start with zone conference. Elder Hamilton didn't have enough time in his schedule to go to Newfoundland, and so we combined the Newfoundland and Nova Scotia zone conference. It was really good, Elder and Sister Hamilton gave some fantastic training, as well as President and Sister Low. I don't know if I've told you about this, but in our zone conferences we normal...
