HEEEEEELLLLLLLLLOOOOOOOO!!!!!
Hey
so glad I get to speak to everyone again! Hope your week has been good and full
of awesome experiences. My week has been pretty good, nothing too crazy just
the regular stuff, trying to adjust to the new area and meet all of the members
here. But anyways let’s jump right on into this email!!!
Monday
was the last P day of the transfer and it was a crazy one. We had sports in
Barrie that day so we drove down and met up with some other elders and had some
sushi. Then we went and played some sports and signed journals. Oh and I got to
smash a pie in another missionary’s face because I made a bet with him and won!
It was super good I will try to get the video for you guys. After that we
scurried back home and ate a super fast dinner with the Spackmans then we went
and said good bye to a couple of members. Then we had to drive to Orillia so I
could drop off Elder Olson and pick up Elder Coffey and then drive down to
Aurora to spend the night.
Tuesday
was transfers and that is always interesting. I got to see a bunch of
missionaries I haven't seen in a bit. Then the rest of the day was spent
driving to the new area and meeting my new comp and having dinner that night.
Wednesday
we went and did some service in the community by helping them set up their
Christmas Decorations in the park. Then we did some studies and then we went
and dropped by some people and invited them out to the Christmas party that was
happening on Saturday. We had dinner at Sister Tisdale’s house and it was super
delicious. After that we went walking around for a couple of hours.
Thursday
was pretty good not a whole lot happened, it was American Thanksgiving though!!
We didn't have a dinner appointment that night so Elder Heppler and I just
chilled at the apartment and ate some left overs.
Friday
we had District Meeting in Hamilton and that was good. I have a lot of great
people in my district this transfer so it should be really fun. After that we
had interviews with the mission president and lunch. Then we drove back and
stopped by some people on the way and finally got back home and had dinner at
the MacDonald's house and it super good. Then we walked around some more for
the rest of the night.
Saturday
we had breakfast with the MacDonald's in the morning and then we went to help
some people move into their new house for a couple of hours and they got us
lunch too which was super nice! Afterwards we made up our studies and then went
to the Branch Christmas party that night. It was super fun I got to meet a lot
of the people there. It kind of reminded me of the parties we would have back
at home except I didn't know anybody. That took up the majority of the night
and they gave us all the leftovers so we have lots of food now!!
Sunday
was pretty good, not as hectic as Midland so I get to have a little bit of a
break now. It was testimony meeting so I was able to hear from more of the
members. The classes were great as well, Elder Heppler gave the priesthood
lesson and he did an awesome job. After church we had a lesson with a guy and
then drove out to our dinner appointment we had that night. They are an awesome
family and said we could come and skype at their place on Christmas so that
will be sick!!
Now
to explain the area and my companion a bit. Simcoe is about a city of 14,000
people so I am still a country boy. Not a whole lot going on here since it is
winter time and most of the people have left for the winter. Elder Heppler is
from Lonepine, Montanna with a population of about 140 people, so he is the
REAL country boy between the two of us. He came out one month after I did so he
has got some experience. I love this guy already, we have so much fun together
and we have the exact same truck back at home just the color is different!! I
can tell that we are going to have a blast this transfer.
That's
all I got for this week. Hope everyone has a good rest of their week.
Love
and miss you all!!
