Yep
sick again...I got a really nasty head cold this time. Trying to survive and
not die out here on the mission but some days it is a struggle. Haha just
kidding but I hope this passes soon because I am sick of blowing my nose all
the time. But enough about me, how are all of you doing? I hope everything is
going well and that you are not sick like me. Not too much to write about this
week but let us jump right into it!!
Monday
was P Day and we went into London to play some sports with other missionaries.
It was a really good time. We played basketball and a little bit of kill ball.
Of course as always I just straight up dominated in those two games, well not
exactly but I wasn't terrible either so somewhere above average would be a good
description. After that we went to a members place and had some steaks!
Absolutely delicious so grateful for the celestial family that they are.
Tuesday
we went over to the Salvation Army and volunteered over there a bit. Then we
went to Tilsonburg because we actually cover that whole area now. We met with
some people and introduced ourselves and we will be going over there at least
once a week to help with things. We also went to a place called Mill Tales Inn
for dinner that night and it was divine! Really good fish there and they make
this chocolate cake that is to die for! So glad we went there to experience it.
Wednesday
was a pretty ordinary day except for the fact that it was MY BIRTHDAY!!!! It
started off with us going to a member’s home at 9 in the morning to help her
blow up balloons for her kid’s birthday party that they were having. We blew up
pretty close to 50 balloons while we were there. After that we went to a district
meeting and talked about how we can do better at finding people to teach. Then
we went to another member’s home for lunch. We had turkey burgers with Doritos,
it was pretty freaking delicious if I do say so myself. Then Elder Shaffer had
a chiropractor appointment in London so we went to that and I sat in the
waiting room for a bit, reading the Guinness Book of World Records. It was pretty
interesting. There was a guy that held the record for being on fire the longest
and also the record for being dragged behind an ATV the farthest while on fire.
Some pretty weird records to hold but hey I am in no place to judge. After that
we went and helped a member in the ward move some stuff out of his basement.
That was pretty fun. We got to see cool stuff that he had down there like
paintball guns, photos of his trip to Italy and all of the lawn statues that he
makes. After that we went to Bill’s place and he did a special dinner for my
birthday. We also played some darts and I won as always because nobody can stop
me!!!! Overall it was a pretty good day for a birthday.
On
Thursday we went back to the millionaire’s house so we could help him with some
things. I ended up trimming his yard for another two hours again so I was
pretty exhausted for the rest of the day. Then we just did the regular
missionary thang, did some planning and went to drop by some homes. That night
we also had a bible study that went pretty well.
Friday
and Saturday nothing too exciting happened, just the regular stuff that
missionaries do. Meeting with people and giving some service.
Sunday
was pretty good. In church some really good talks were given and there were
really good lessons as well. After that we went around visiting families
because it was Elder Shaffer's last day in the mission. We are taking him to
Brampton today and he will be flying out tomorrow morning. I’m sad to see him
leave but he is a really awesome guy and deserves to go home to see his family
and enjoy his vacation to Hawaii. Freaking guy I am so jealous but I love being
out here on the mission and continue experiencing so many things.
That
is about it for this week I love and miss you all!!
