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!

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 ...
