YOU MADE JALAPEÑO POPPERS?

Hey all,

WHAT? I had begged for those for years, and the first time you make them in all this time is while I'm on my mission? Wow. That hurts. Almost as much as it would hurt to make them without the gear. At least you have it figured out for when I get home, cause I EXPECT some now... 

Also, 1st place!!! That's super awesome! Man, I bet that was an incredible game! I wish I could watch it! I think it's so cool that we took 1st, I think that's the first 1st place finish for the varsity team. At least that I remember. It's going to be cool to see how they do this year in regular season! And I'm glad to see that the meme is staying alive, haha. 

I'm glad everyone misses me, haha. I miss them too, and no, you hadn't told me about the video thing, so that's going to be pretty exciting! I'm looking forward to that. 

I had a pretty good week. I'll try to go over all of it! Wednesday we had district meeting. Elder Pitcher and I went to the Saint John district meeting instead of ours, because we wanted to see how Elder Bluth, one of our district leaders, was doing with his district. It was really good, he's a really good district leader. There was a crazy snow storm that day though, and driving sucked! We got back, and then immediately had to leave for some lessons we had with the members. (Elder Pitcher and I have been teaching a lot of the members, it's been really cool!) It was going to be a pretty standard day, but then we got a call from Woodstock Elders at like 8. It turns out that they went down to the hospital down in Saint John after district meeting, and they weren't going to be able to make it back to Woodstock before 9. So they had to crash at our place for the night. Normally, that would just have them staying the night and then take off in the morning, but Elder Bringhurst and Robinson both wear contacts, and didn't bring contacts to replace the ones they were wearing. So, we ended up having to drive them back to Woodstock early in the morning! 

That was kinda the only eventful thing that happened. Wendy is doing good. We had a really good lesson with her this week. We're hopefully going to see Jacob this Saturday, because he really wants to do a nerf war! Unfortunately they didn't come to church, but we're still making progress! 

We did find a new investigator this week. Her names Carla. She was an old potential that we had, and when we followed up with her the other day, she let us come back. We taught her about Jesus Christ and His Gospel, and invited her to be baptized. She said yes, but we suspect that she doesn't fully understand everything. So stay tuned. 

Idk what I'd want for Christmas. I mean, the best parts of Christmas were always the food and the family, but I guess ties, clothes, and candy would do. But I'm sure you'll think of creative stuff to put in there. I'd love to hear from everyone again, that was really cool! 

We went down to Saint John again today. There's this thing called the Reversing Falls, it was pretty cool. The Bay of Fundy runs up the Saint John River and reverses the flow of the water, which is pretty cool. There's a sky roof with a glass floor which was pretty cool. You can't really see it in the photos unfortunately. 

I really like the newsletter! 

Love you all!

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 ...
