Email from Elder Lofthouse 9/6/16 Exchanges Galore!

This week was really fun, but kinda crazy. It was good, overall.
     
So Tuesday was fun. We did the normal preparation day stuff, so that was good. A normal P-day consists of cleaning, shopping, emailing, and ultimate frisbee. It's. Lot of fun.   After that we had supper at the Krytons. They're a super cool family.  After that we knocked a few doors.  It was a pretty good day.

Wednesday was pretty crazy. We had a lesson with Shawn in the morning. It went really well. After that, we helped Deanna, one of our investigators, move. The Ellerslie Elders were able to come and help for a little, and Deanna's boys were going to help a little, but they just got high and drunk instead. It was a little frustrating, but we got it all done. After that we went to a meeting for the #yegmormon day. It's basically a media split that's happening in September 10. We'll have members of the Ward follow us around taking pictures and posting them. It's gonna be a lot of fun. After that we had supper with the Burrs. It was awesome.  After that we went and helped a lady move from our Ward to Ellerslie Ward. It was a good night.

Thursday was a lot of meetings....  We had district meeting in the morning, and then we went to the follow up new missionary meeting. Surprisingly enough,  it's the first time I've been to one of those as well!  We skyped in when I was in Cherry Grove being trained, and then we skyped in in Dawson Creek when I was training Elder Hubner. So it was my first time at the meeting, along with Elder Wood. It was good.After that we got to see Vivian!  She's still awesome, as usual. We had supper with the Hinmans.  Again, it was really good, and the Hinmans are awesome. We had coordination with Brother Beck and Brother Harris after that. It was a really long day.

Friday was pretty sweet. We did weekly planning, which took way longer than it needed to. Always. :/ After that we went and walked around a little bit. We had supper with the Strongs. We had the best ribs I've had in a long time. I love ribs....  After that we knocked a few more doors, and then we went to exchange with Beaumont.

Saturday I was in Beaumont with Elder Meldrum. It was a pretty fun day. We mostly stopped by people, and we had some good conversations with people. It was really cool. That's basically all we did all day. We exchanged back later that evening.

Sunday was a lot of fun. We went to church, and fast Sunday's are always fun, and then there was a potluck after church!!  Shawn came to church, as well, so that's good. After church we walked to an appointment, and had a really cool lesson with Alex and Bruce. After that we did ANOTHER exchange. Elder Wood went wish Elder Czech to Ellerslie. Elder Orton and I stayed in Hillview.

Monday was a lot of fun. We mostly went finding, which is exciting. The best part was I went bus contacting for the first time! It was a lot of fun. We had lunch at the Gurdwara.  It's a Sikh temple, and it was pretty neat. Nothing else really awesome happened, but it was pretty fun.

This week was awesome!  It was a lot of fun.  It'll be a good
week this next week as well.
