Well HOOOOOWWWWWDDDDYYYY!
Hey! So glad I get to talk
to all of you again. I hope everyone is having a good week and that you are
finding the joy in life. My week was super good but it went by super quick! Not
a whole lot happened so apologies, but this email is probably going to be
pretty short. But anyways without further delay let us jump right on into this
thing!!
So Monday was a pretty
chill day. We didn't really do a whole lot. I think the highlight of the day
was when Elder Olson and I went on a bike ride and we saw a freak ton of
catfish in one of the ponds. We played basketball that night as well. I played
alright I guess, not too amazing but it was okay. 🚴
I don't really know what
happened on Tuesday, I can't remember. This week has gone by quickly and I
don't really remember what happened. Probably just doing missionary work to be
honest with you.😂
On Wednesday I went on
exchanges with Elder Herculano for a bit. He and I went to the Ward Council and
just talked to all the leaders in the church and about what we should be doing
better and how we can help them in their callings.
On Thursday I actually was
on exchanges with Elder Payne and it was pretty sweet to be able to be with my
MTC companion again and see how he's been doing. That night we had sushi with
one of the members. I had not had sushi in a hot minute so I really appreciated
it. 🍣 Then we had to travel down to Barrie because we had Zone Conference the
next day so we left Thursday around 6:30 to get down to Barrie.
Friday was Zone Conference
which was pretty good. We talked a lot about accountability and being
responsible and making sure that we're doing the right things. We had a little
break out session with just the missionaries serving around in our area and we
made a bunch of videos about the Commandments and stuff like that. We also had
interviews after Zone Conference and those are alright. It's good to talk to President
Shields and Sister Shields. They just wanted to see how we are doing and how
they can help us in any way. That night we also had to stay in Barrie because
we wouldn't be able to make it back to Sudbury in time.
On Saturday we woke up and
we drove to Midland for a quick drop by of a couple of people that are there.
We stopped by the Spackman's and had some pancakes with them and then after
that we drove back to Sudbury. We got to Sudbury and helped someone move a
chair and then we helped get everything ready for the spaghetti dinner. It was
a fundraiser for the youth here for their camping trips and materials they
need. It was a spaghetti dinner and a cake auction, and I will tell you what, I
could not believe how much money people were spending on desserts!! Absolutely
crazy to me but it is okay because it was for a good cause.🍝 🎂
Sunday was good as well. We
had church in the morning so it was good to be able to see everyone and talk to
them and see if there was anything we could do for them. After church we did
some studies and then went over to a member’s house and talked to them for a
bit. For dinner that night we had some bomb pasta salad and really good
desserts that were from the cake auction. After dinner we came back home and
did some weekly planning so we could talk more about the people that are here
in the area and how we can best help them.
That pretty much wraps up
the week. We are going to go fishing today so I am pretty pumped for that.🎣 I
hope everyone has a good rest of their week and that it is filled with tons of
adventure!!
Love and miss you all!!
