Okay so I like talking to you about things that happen each day so
i am going to try that again... if you dont like it let me know.. i can change
the layout a little haha
MONDAY: ah pdays seem to not last as long as i would hope... if i could
write a poem for pday it would be
emails are read
skirts make us blue
the day does not last long enough
but pday we love you.....
yep that's how i feel about pdays... its a love hate relationship.
Then we went to go teach the Cooks and it was NOT their day.. They were
just talking and talking, not listening and making it extremely difficult to
invite the spirit... so we told them we were going to say a closing prayer after
being there for fifteen minutes and got up and left. It was hard to do but they
need to know that our time is important and we have other stuff we could be
doing.
Then we were in charge of FHE.... which was good we shared the mormon
message 'sharing your beliefs' then talked about the online work they could
do... being an online missionary really make its easier for us to be able to
help members with their online work.
TUESDAY: we got to sub seminary... WORST MORNING EXPERIENCE EVER!!!!!!!
5:15 wake up alarm+ mornings in general for sister Harrison= one very grumpy
morning sister... but we made it through and seminary was super fun to teach
haha, even that early in the morning,... but it made me EXTREMELY grateful for
my in school seminary. Then we got kidnapped into this ladies house where she
spent an hour telling us what we believed was wrong and only let us tell her the
first vision.... it was interesting... its always weird when other people try to
convert us but i don't think her church will ever get me.. they always make their
girls wear skirts..... NO THANK YOU!!!!!! Then we spent dinner at the
Johnsons... I LOVE THEM SOO MUCH... its so weird when people you come to love
and know leave the area before you do... them moving is not my favorite thing in
the world but I will always love them and there is no such thing as goodbyes...
EVER!!!!!
WEDNESDAY:.........meh............
so on wednesday we had a flat tire.... luckily the elders helped us change
it to a donut then we took our tire in and low and behold there was a NAIL in
our tire... just chillin... wanting to be our friend... little did it know that
WE DO NOT WANT TO BE ITS FRIEND!!!!! it made doing missionary work extremely
difficult, but i learned i can change a tire in a skirt... adding that to my
list of weird things i can do in a skirt because we ended up being stubborn and
not asking for help to put the tire back on, BUT WE DID IT!!!! yay.... Then i
don't know if you saw on facebook or not but i found out on wednesday how our
woolf family name came to be according to familysearch.org.... i started really
looking into stories because this one kid from utah added me on facebook asking
me questions about a common ancestor we have that i updated information on....
weird... but it brought a neat opportunity to share about family history work
online!
THURSDAY: we did exchanges with the Wildwood sisters which means i got to
spend the day with sister Hutchinson... unfortunately the day was full of
unexpected surprises so we had to be on our toes... Wildwood sisters are walking
right now because their car got totalled but its okay because we got the ride on
the bus.... then we went on the wrong bus which extended our travel by almost
TWO HOURS it was a little ridiculous we figured out we could have WALKED
faster.... so we did.. for part of our travel... we walked twenty minutes to a
remote suburb to stop by an investigator... who was home, but didn't answer... at
that point i had to pee sooooooo bad that we had to run and see if a member
across the street was home so we could use their washroom, they took so long to
open the door i almost went and asked the construction guys if the house they
were working on had a finished bathroom but they opened the door and i was saved
from a lot of embarrassment... thank you! and then we got transfer calls... I
get to stay in saskatoon for six more weeks!!!! It makes me so happy, i love
this area SOOO MUCH!!!!
FRIDAY AND SATURDAY: i'm combining them because it was kind of a one
activity deal... we got the opportunity to drive for two hours to a remote city
called Melfort to help with a food drive... there were forty missionaries who
came and the city itself only has 5000 people so forty missionaries can seem a
little overwhelming but they used us and got us out knocking on doors looking
for donations for their foodbank.... unfortunately (even though i loved it)
mother nature didn't get the memo so we got to do this in a foot of snow which
NONE of us were prepared for... so our day also included a small snowball fight
and some snow angels... it was so much fun! and we got to billet (or stay with)
a bunch of non members in the community... IT WAS SOOO MUCH FUN!!!! The family
we stayed with was the best... they made us cookies we talked forever and they
told us to come back if we were ever in melfort... plus it was such a good way
to help the community know more about missionaries without tracting. so neat!
even with a horrible storm that came as we were driving home we made it home
safe and sound to have a little bit of time before we all go to regina this
weekend.... (Elder Christofferson is coming)
SUNDAY: i think the only sruprise to Sunday was a less active we have been
working with that wasn't progressing not only came to church but went up and bore
her testimony and told everyone she was back... not sure what happened but it
makes me happy!!
I love you all SOOOO much! Mothers day is just around the
corner.
