On Tuesday we had a neat experience. We helped the town
clean out an old Shoe shop that had not been opened for a little over 30
years. It was in business since 1943-1978. We took the boards down and
spent most of the time looking at all the old stuff that was left
behind, hut then we organized most of the place, threw away some trash,
and we're going back next week to turn it into a tourist building. It
was truly unique.
Wednesday was interesting. We drove into Swift
current for a district meeting, and it was great. I got to meet our new
zone leader, Elder Kyler Messenger from Pleasant
Grove. I don't know him from back home, but he's a great missionary.
After District meeting we went and visited a less-active member in the
hospital who has no legs. He was on dialysis and suddenly had to go to
the bathroom. He asked us if we would help, and elder
Blackburn and I just looked at each other, and just tried not to laugh,
but luckily all we had to do is push him to the bathroom and he had it
from there.
Friday was also pretty great. We drove out to a town
called Shounovan which is 30 min south of Gull Lake. only and hour from
the boarder =P But we taught some investigators out there who are
devote catholic. They had a lot of questions and it almost turned into a
bible bash, but luckily we were able to teach them about the plan of
salvation and he understood it, but had some varying opinions. On the
drive back to gull lake, It rained really hard. Gull Lake is actually in
tornado Alley, so we get some crazy storms. But it rained hard enough
that it broke our wind shield wipers! it was funny. One fell off, and I
went to pick it up, and before I was able to, a truck ran it over and
broke it in half! So we ordered a new part from Regina, hopefully to be
picked up tomorrow.
On Saturday, we went to a native Pow Wow, and we
showed up and the announcer said "it's not a pow wow without the
mormons!" We started laughing and he said again "Remember the good 'ol
days when we could have more than one wife?" It was halarious.
Sunday was a pretty great day. We had the assistants
come into church in Swift Current, and one of them used to serve here,
so he was happy to be back. After church we talked with the AP's about
our area, and then went to a supper appointment with them. We went to
the Parsons' and it was great. they fed us good food, and sister
parsons' texted my mom during it. It was pretty funny.
That was my week in a nut shell. I'll send some photos too. There's a video about my mission on the Facebook. It's really good. https://www.facebook.
Love you guys! Thanks for everything you do.
