NEW APARTMENT LIVING!!!!!


HEEEEYYYYYYY EVERYONE!!!!

So glad I get to talk to all of ya and hear how your week has been! Mine has been pretty good and pretty hectic! Lots of changes going on around here and there are going to be even more to come! Better prepare myself for it so I ain't freaking out when it all goes down. But anyways let us just jump right on into this past week!!

Monday was super fun. We took a trip to Owen Sound for the day so we could go and celebrate Sister Cepeda's Birthday with her. We went and surprised her and we got her pretty good. We went to this place called Eugenia Falls and hiked it and it was a freaking blast! A good hike and I only fell in the water like 5 times so that was pretty good. After the hike we went and got ice cream and pizza for her birthday dinner. Super good as always, really enjoyed my time in Owen Sound and I am looking forward to going back for another visit this week when I go on exchanges there!

Tuesday was a pretty crazy day. We got a new apartment so our car wouldn't keep on getting vandalized where we were at. So on Tuesday we spent the day packing things up and moving it over to our new apartment. Lots of work and a lot of going back and forth with trucks so we could load everything and bring it over. However the new apartment is soooo sick!!! Alot more living space and we have a washer and dryer so I am pretty much living like a king right now. We finally got everything put away at like 10:30 pm so I was pretty exhausted and ready for bed.

Wednesday we did an online mission survey to prepare for an area seventy to come to the mission in the next couple of months. After that we went back to the old apartment so that we could start cleaning it and get it all fixed up. Then we went and visited some people and had dinner at a member’s place. Pork chops and mashed potatoes just like home. Then we had mutual that night with the Young Men and Young Women and that was pretty fun. After that we just went out and visited a couple of more people.

Thursday we cleaned up the old apartment a bit more and then had a couple of lessons with some people. We also did some weekly planning and then we went and visited a guy in prison and that was pretty interesting but super fun actually! We were able to talk to him through the glass and see how he was doing and share a message with him. He was actually super nice and super funny. He told me about some of the fights that he has seen in there and some of them were pretty brutal! After that we had some dinner and then a bible class that night. We had to house 6 more missionaries from the Sudbury area that night for zone conference the next morning. I got to see my old comp Elder Roundy and catch up with him a bit. Super fun night with all the elders there.

Friday was Zone Conference and it was pretty good. I got to see a lot of missionaries that I haven't seen in a while. The meeting was pretty good we talked about becoming better disciples of Jesus Christ. The meeting was 8:30 to 5:00 so pretty long but a good time none the less. After that we went to a members place and had some cheeseburgers. All around good day if you ask me.

Saturday we just did some more planning and visited people. Oh and we did some service for a retired pro wrestler so that was pretty sick.

Sunday was super good. We had church and the primary program and that was awesome to watch and we had a record breaking number of 66 people out to the Branch!! It was really awesome to see the seats filled up a little more. After services we had a potluck with all the members and there was some really good food there. I think my favorite was some meatballs that somebody made or the one bite brownies...they are actually called two bite brownies but I made them one bite!

That's about all I got for this week. I hope everybody has a good rest of their week and has at least one crazy awesome adventure so you can spice up your life a bit.

Love and miss you all!!!
