So.... I'm leaving winnipeg... Im actually doing it and making the jump! I
have been called to serve is saskatoon which apparently is a lot prettier than
winnipeg, thats all people have been able to tell me. I cant spell my companions
name, or the ward i will be serving with, and im nervous beyond belief to be
NINE HOURS away from the city.... it will feel like a whole new mission out
there. But it will all be okay... Elder Mohlman (my zone leader) will be going
out with me to be in my ward! Elder Judkins (my professors son) will be my other
zone leader and Elder Wiltse (from my MTC district) will be my district leader
so i know things will all be okay.
Even with the nerves of all these changes we still had an incredible
week.... We taught six member present lessons. that's the most i have EVER taught in one
week on my mission! We had two new investigators, two baptismal dates and two
investigators who attended church and they are all incredible. It was a good
week!
Henry, the guy we street contacted, has decided to get baptized we are
working on getting him ready for Janurary if not early and we are SUPER excited
about it! He is already sharing the gospel and going to invite on of his
neighbors to join us! its so good!
We had a relief soceity activity and we had three non-members there which
is just inspiring, the people here are really stepping it up and helping where
needed!
Silvia the twelve year old we are teaching is getting baptized too in
December and that is SOOOO exciting!
I think the hardest part about this week was the good byes i have already
had to say. I really really love this ward, they mean a lot to me and i could
stay here for a while longer! We had a family have us and elder hatch and elder
sorenson (elder hatch is going to thompson) over for a good bye dinner and made
us sushi. It was so good. But i think the best part is what they told us at the
end. They thanked us for our service and told us that even if we go home feeling
like we have done nothing that we have made a difference to their family and
they are grateful we came out. it was so nice. I also got a thank you card from
llewellyn and silvia thanking me for being here. Silvia even p.s.ed me that i
was her new best friend. I have really loved this ward and i have felt their
love for me. I am excited for the lasting friendships i have gained here and im
trying to look forward to the friendships i will gain in saskatoon! Here we go
change!!!!!
