Guess who's staying in Weyburn another transfer!!?
This elder is! Me and elder Hornberger are working here now, and Abadicio is going to Neepawa! We are both pretty excited about what happed for transfers.
So it was a pretty great start to this week working out at the Crowther’s helping them get their place all redone on the outside. We built a deck in the backyard and then we put up finishing around the outside of the roof and messed around with their kids for a bit. They got 3 girls Keah who's 12, Sam who's 11, and Mica (mouse) is her nickname that she get called all the time and she's 3, then the one boy Hedley who's 1. Mouse decided she could use me to help her get everywhere she wanted. She would hold my hand as we built the deck and have me help her walk her around the steps and all the tools then once she got to where she wanted she'd let go and turn around n smile and laugh at me. Super cute kid.
Eventually she even got me pushin her around in her mini cooper toy car, sister Crowther was like "looks like you've done this stuff before!" haha I said "nope I actually wasn't like this back home, well not very often anyway."
It was a good full day’s work out there though! I kinda wish I was in a service mission that would be sweet, but we do a decent amount of service out here so I'll be okay.
Went to a museum here in town with an investigator the other day. We stopped by him to see how they were doing and he's like hey let's go for a drink so on the drive to DQ we passed the museum and he's like hey have you ever been there? We said no so he turned into there and we went through it! Saw I think it was the largest silver collection in Canada! Most the stuff in there was like a first doctor’s office or music store in Weyburn type thing so it was cool, got to learn and see some of the history of the town.
Walking around passed the school by our place we passed a house and it had a girl standing in the door way smoking but as we got closer she tucked herself back inside the door a ways so all you could see was her hand and smoke, and as we went passed she cat called to us haha Abadicio thought it was me and I thought it might have been him but nope, so it had to of been her. That was the strange moment of the week for us.
Helped out Kevin (friend with missionaries. Not official investigator yet) this week cleanin up some trees that were hanging over his fence, spray painting some garden animals, setting up a little party tent, and helping water his flowers n what not. Had me up there cuttin the trees down guess everyone figures since I'm a ranch kid they can trust me to do any cutting they need done. Also helped him clean out a rental place of his out in Griffin for an hour or so the next day, even got some teaching in during it!
On Friday we had a really good lesson with one of our investigators Albert. Albert is a 7th day Adventist who talked with missionary’s a long time ago in dauphin Mb but from what we can tell they didn't share much with him. We have met with him a few times now and I think Friday was the 3rd or 4th time now. The first few times was spent talking about the Bible and faults prophets but Friday we finally got somewhere with him! We taught the restoration to him and we had a really good talk with him and he brought up some good points and questions for us. He said something I though was kinda cool and I wish I could remember exactly what he said but I can't so this is a rough idea of what it was he said "We have Christ so all we need to do is work through today, and let him take tomorrow." he was saying we shouldn't worry too much about tomorrow but we should worry about what's going on here and now and be doing the things we know are right and let God take care of the future and we'll be okay.
The rest of our week was spent tracting and trying to find some people we could talk with but we didn't get to much luck.
Got to 35 one day and man that as hot tracting on the houses with white doors and siding.
Sunday we gave talks in church and they went pretty good it seemed.
Had 5 people in Estevan church counting us.... But it was still pretty good.
Well love ya all, talk to ya next week!
Elder Abadicio is getting transferred....Elder Nelson is staying😊
The Regniers take great care of the missionaries!
