THE FRESH PRINCE OF MIDLAND!!!!!!


WEEEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLLL THIS IS A STORY ALL ABOUT HOW!!!

Hey everyone! I’m so glad that I get to talk to you this week. One quick announcement! P day is going to be on Wednesday next week because of Thanksgiving, so the next email won't come out until then. But anyways I hope everyone had a good week and that you were able to have some adventure but relax a little at the same time. My week was pretty good. I got to see and do a lot of things. But instead of me blabbing about it, let’s just jump right on into this thing!

Monday we went to Barrie again and did some shopping! Elder Olson and I went and got matching Carhartt hats at Cabela's and they are looking pretty fly! Then we went to Marshall's and picked out some new shirts to wear. Let me tell you something, I love this shirt! It has pineapples, palm trees, roses, and flamingos all over it! After shopping I went and got my hair cut because it was getting a little long and not looking clean cut anymore. After that we drove back to Midland and had some dinner. Then we went out and visited a couple of people.

On Tuesday it was just a pretty regular missionary day. We started it off with sitting at the church and updating records and organizing the area. A member brought us lunch so we just ate it there and it was delicious might I add! After that we went and visited some people in the branch to see how they were doing. That night a member was able to get a hold of a couple of ties for me and Elder Olson! They are TTC ties!! Basically TTC is just the bussing system in Toronto and the drivers wear these ties. So now ya boi is a certified TTC driver! 😂

Wednesday we had District Meeting in the morning and that went pretty well. Afterwards we went to the Jail in Penetang with the Branch President of Georgian Bay. We visited two inmates to see how they were doing and how we can help them progress in the gospel. After that we had dinner at a member’s house and then we went bowling with all the Young Men and Women for mutual. It was a good time and you already know that I had to show everyone up with my amazing skills. After that we went to the church and got some things ready for the bible class the next day.

Thursday we went and visited a returning member couple and they are amazing!! They are so willing to progress and they give us treats every time that we are over there. We taught them about the Gospel of Jesus Christ and how if we let him in he can truly change us for the better. After that we went and gave a member a blessing because she had been struggling with stress and anxiety lately. Then we went and cleaned the apartment one final time to make sure everything was all sparkling clean. We had dinner from a member that night and after dinner we taught the bible class. That went super well; the people that come give really good insights and ideas.

Friday was Temple trip day so we were able to go to the temple in the morning with all the other missionaries that are in a 2 hour radius of the temple. It was amazing to be able to go to the temple and be inside of it again. Always such a strong peace and comfort in there. After that we went with a group of missionaries to get some lunch at Flips. Flips is basically a breakfast place that serves some pretty decent size portions.

Saturday and Sunday were General Conference days, so we basically were at the church all day watching the sessions, eating food, and talking to our investigators. We actually had 5 people who are looking into the church come to general conference to watch! General Conference was amazing I think my favorite talk was by President Nelson and his re emphasis on the Book of Mormon and the influence it can have in our lives. 

That is about it for this week! Thank you for your continual support and all the emails that you send me. I hope everyone has a good rest of their week and that you can see the tender mercies of God in your life.

Love and miss you all!
