Melfort Fair

July 23, 2018

This week had been pretty good had FHE with the old people here in the branch that can't make it to church Sundays and that was pretty alright. There is a couple there that is dating and he's 83 and she's 103... They are pretty cute haha I'd have to say she's the oldest person I've ever shaken hands with, and to be honest she doesn’t look 103 yrs. old she's looks like she's in her 90s.
Had exchanges with PA Tuesday night to Wednesday night. Tuesday morning we did a walk with Kim (investigator) and then half service with the Salvation Army place sorting clothes and hauling stuff around for them to other places. We got a couple members that work there so we visited with them a bit and visited with the others that work there, they are all pretty good. There is a lot of crap that comes through those second hand stores... Some cool stuff though. We got a bench for free out of it so that was sweet!
Exchanges were good up in PA only almost hit 10 people.... They don't care up there if a car is coming or not they just walk out on the street anyway, it's crazy!
PA's not as big as I expected but it's a nice size and it's pretty nice. I went with elder Carr on exchanges and we did some tracting and DC (district council) it’s not dm anymore, had lunch at the party Wendy's. We call it the party Wendy's because when you go in the bathrooms there they have black lights in it so people can't shoot up in there... So that was cool haha kinda different.
When we got to PA for the night those goons came to open the door for us and they were in their superhero costumes they made. Wolff was superman with a red blanket as a cape and Carr had a flash bathrobe on haha they thought they were pretty cool.
Sister Turner already has me working on song she wants to sing and play with me so she's keeping me busy. We went out to their place last night to practice and find some new songs we could sing n play for Wednesday and Friday.
Did a whole lot of service with Bro Prete this week weeding his garden.

Friday us and PA went to the fair here in Melfort to try and see if we could talk to people there and see what was all going on there. They had some chuck wagon races, motocross, rides, games, petting zoo, and a few other things. Spent most the time with elder Wolff at the motocross with a few people that we were able to make friends with while we were there.
At one point we had us, PA, and the Tuners' all together and we were watching the motocross when all the sudden there was a cop running around the front end of the bleachers looking under them which got everyone's attention and so they all started looking around wondering what was going on. Looking to the back on the bleachers is when we found 5 police officers with guns out trying to pull a 19-20 yr. old kid out from under the bleachers and that’s when everyone on that section ran off to get away from a possible shooting. The boy wasn't cooperating and was kicking back at the cops trying to grab him even with 5 guns on him! Eventually one cop got in there and he took a couple rounds out of the kid with the back end of his pistol and flipped him over taking his hands and cuffing him with his one elbow in the air and the other toward the ground kinda in a chicken wing almost. It was pretty sweet! A couple girls that me and elder Wolff were behind turned around to us and told us that the boy was in their class and chucked a desk at them once, and pulls knifes on kids that make him mad so they were kinda glad he was gone. The story behind why the cops were after him was because he pulled a gun on a kid over by the rides and then when the cops came he tossed it in the trash and ran, which leads him to where we were!
I can't remember too much of this week due to all that we have been doing service and driving wise. Wasn't a very interesting week other than at the fair and just serving people, maybe this week I'll have some more for you next Monday!
Well love you all talk to ya next week!
