WHAT'S
POPPIN EVERYONE!!!!????
So
glad I get to talk to all of you again and hear about what you have been up
to!!
Things
for me have been going pretty well. St. Thomas is a cool little spot with a
population of about 36,000 people. So still not huge but bigger than my last
area so we are taking one step at a time!! My companion is super awesome and
hard working. His name is Elder Shaffer and he has been out for 20 months. He
actually goes home one month early for school so I might be around to see him
head home! There are about 100 active members here and they are super awesome!
They are all so welcoming and so funny too. This morning I actually went and
played a game of darts with the 2nd counselor in the Bishopric and he WAXED
ME!!! Like destroyed my hopes and dreams of ever becoming a professional dart
player. Oh well, all I got to do is train harder than ever and one day I will
be a dart champion!!
On
Wednesday we had district meeting and it was pretty good. The district that I
am in is super good! It is us, the Zone Leaders, and two sets of sister
missionaries. The two sets of sisters are actually training two new
missionaries that just came into the mission. Hopefully all will go well with
them and they enjoy serving the Lord. After that we had an investigator named
Alex take us out to lunch at this place called Moxies. Let me tell you
something, it is the fanciest place I have ever been in!!! I felt so out of
place, considering that the fanciest place I have been in is the Cheese Cake Factory!!
But the meal was super good and delicious and I appreciate him taking us out to
eat.
On
Thursday we did service for another one of our investigators named Johnathan.
And this guy is LOADED!!! His house was ginormous and just filled with
expensive furniture and cars!! He runs his own furniture company and does
something with international shipping. He wants us to come back tomorrow so we
can help him with some things and then he wants to take us out for dinner.
Friday
there was a family history night at the church where people could come and just
get their party on with some food and activities that they had set up. It was
pretty fun. They had this quiz about Canadian history that you could take to
see how many you could get right. So you already know that ya boi got a nice and
solid 1 out of 10. Just like back in school. Sometimes you just can't break old
habits.
Sunday
was super awesome because I got to meet a lot of the members there. The second
counselor of the bishopric was conducting and he is super hilarious!! He is
from the Mason church so he still "preaches to the choir" for lack of
a better term. It definitely makes things a lot more fun and interesting.
I
can already tell that I am going to have a blast in this area and a lot of work
is going to be done. That's all I got for this week, I love and miss you all
and hope you have a fantastic week!!
