THE LUMBERJACK IS BACK!!!!!


TIIIMMMMMMBBBBBERRRRR!!!!
Hey everyone! So glad I get to talk to you again and hear about all the amazing things you are doing. Hope everyone is doing well and had a good week! My week was pretty good, still on that regular missionary grind and trying to finish strong! But without any further delay let us jump right on into this thang!!!
Last Monday was pretty good, nothing too exciting happened. Elder Larson and I bought matching shirts. They look pretty dope so I am excited about it. After P day was over we just went out and hit the streets to see if we could find anyone to talk to.
Tuesday we had some really good lessons with Diane and then Carlee. They are both doing extremely well. I am so happy that I am able to stay here for my last transfer so I can continue to work with them.
Wednesday we ended up doing a lot of service. A member here asked us if we could cut her grass for her, easy enough, but she has a massive yard!!! Best part about it was she had an old John Deere that I got to cruise around on 🚜
  The entire time I was singing the song "She Thinks My Tractor's Sexy" to myself, that's how you know that I was having a blast. 😂 After that we had a visit with someone who really needed somebody to talk to so she was very appreciative that we stopped by. We also had a meeting with our Ward Mission Leader that night and that went well.
Thursday I was on exchanges with one of the Portuguese Elders. It was a good day. We did service at a garden which was pretty much just pulling weeds. After that we came back and grabbed something to eat and then went out and dropped by some people until dinner. After dinner we drove to Kitchener to put up some ESL flyers and ended up talking to a lot of students at the University there. It was a good time. I have always loved talking to the people that are my age, I find that the conversations are more....meaningful. (I don't know if that's the word I wanted to use there but oh well 😏).

Friday we had District Council in the morning, it was good. Since it is a new transfer and we had new people in the district we did a little get to know you activity that I came up with. It was basically Pictionary. You had to draw something and everyone had to guess what it was. HOWEVER, while you were drawing and everyone was guessing your companion had to be doing push-ups until somebody guessed it right. It made for some pretty good laughs. 😁After that we went to give a member a blessing and she is living with two of her friends that are not members of the church. Well we went over there and talked with them for a bit and all three of them wanted blessings! And they liked us so much that they invited us to come for dinner on Tuesday!! So that was a cool experience to be a part of. After that we did some studies and then weekly planned for the rest of the evening.
Saturday was a day to remember, a member asked if we would be willing to come help stack some wood in the morning. So of course we agreed to do so. We got there in the morning and they fed us a wonderful breakfast. Then it was time to get down to business. We went out there and he said that he still had logs that needed to be split and asked if I was willing to do it. I said "oh trust me, I am more than willing." So I ended chopping wood for the next 4 hours, on top of that it was the hottest day of the week. So needless to say I was very exhausted by the end of it. But I felt like a man, a big strong man!! So it was all worth it. 💪
Sunday was a good day, nothing too special. Church is great as always, and after that we came home and did some studies and then went out walking for the rest of the night.
Well that's all I got for this week!! Hope you all have a good rest of your week!!
Love and miss you all!!!
