This week was absolutely insane. There was some crazy stuff that happened. Enjoy!
Tuesday we had supper with the Bohles. It was pretty good, and then we went and exchanged with the Zone Leaders. Elder Wilde and I went back down to Leduc. It was an good evening.
Wednesday was fun. Elder Wilde and I had a blast! We had lunch with the Patricks. It was awesome! They were up in Whitehorse while I was in Dawson Creek and we talked with them on the phone a couple of times when one of our investigators moved up there. It was cool to meet them in person. We got a call from President around that time as well. We found out some crazy stuff was going to happen the next day! Anyway, we went and taught a few lessons, and then we went and ate supper, and then had a sweet lesson with a less active lady. It was awesome. After that we exchanged back.
Thursday morning we drove to the Riverbend Stake Centre for the crazy stuff. We are in a tripan again! Elder Lara came to Hillview with Elder Wood and I. It's great. Elder Lara is a super cool guy. We went to district meeting after that, and then we went and walked around a did some street contacting. It was a good time. We had supper with Sister Muñoz after that. It was awesome. We had papusas again. They're so good. After all that we went and stopped by a few people. No one was home, though. It was still a good day.
Friday was really weird. We started our weekly planning, and then dropped off a bunch of stuff at the Ellerslie Elders place. Then we went to the office, and came back and finished our weekly planning. It was interesting. The best part was we got a whole bunch of snow! We probably got 3-4 inches, so not a whole lot, but it's still October, so it's a lot. After weekly planning, we went to supper, which also happened to be the Elders quorum party. It was pretty sweet. We got to introduce Elder Lara to a bunch of people, so it was good. Then we exchanged with the Mandarin Elders.
Saturday I was with Elder Yu. He is awesome! We did some street contacting and door knocking in the morning. It was pretty good. We met a few people who said we could come back, so that's cool. It was really interesting in the afternoon. I was the only English speaker at the institute with a bunch of Mandarin speakers. The language is super cool to listen too, though. Haha. After that we went and had supper with a super cool family. It was a lot of fun. We had a really fun day. We exchanged back in the evening.
Sunday was interesting. We had Ward council in the morning, and then we had lunch. Church was really good. After church we had supper with the Dorwards. They're a super cool family. The rest of the day was kinda sad. All of our appointments cancelled, and so we knocked some doors. It was just a bland evening.
Monday was good.
This week was really interesting. I tend to have to be taught the same lesson 4, 5, maybe 10 times before I get it. This week I figured out that living life timidly, worrying about this and that, and worrying more about what people think of you will never get you anywhere in life. If you really want to live life, then you have to be bold! You have to take chances! Above all else, you have to care about what God thinks about you. If you keep yourself worthy of the spirit at all times, and work toward your goals like there is no tomorrow, life is amazing. Don't fear man, and trust in God.
I love you all, and hope you have a wonderful week!
