Hey sorry I haven't got to you all till now
been pretty busy helping the Turner's pull their house apart.
Well Saunis gone and Elder George black is back! Same one I served with in Regina about this time last yr. Never woulda thought I'd serve with 2 old companions in a row or ever.
This week was a pretty good week! Had exchanges with the zls in Saskatoon Wednesday night to Friday morning. Did some service with bro Vera helping him around his place again putting some drywall away and cleaning up the mess we made while fixing up the room.
Had dinner with the Turner's and a practice afterwards. Helped bro turner put up some hay in his shed before dinner so that was fun and itchy due to the fact we were in pros clothes, been quite a while since I’ve tossed square bales.
During practice with sis turner she decided I should sing with her on Wednesday (Tuesday was our first and only practice day). And we could do Johnny cash’s "Jackson" and "ain't me babe" ha-ha so we did a couple runs of it that night and we were doing alright so she figured yup let's do it! Wednesday night came and up we went to do our singing and playing for the museum bbq again. Lucy and Baylee they did there couple songs and I played all of sister turners songs for her while she sang and then she had me come in and sing those couple songs with her. Sis turners already lookin for another place we can go sing at...should be fun!
Had a pretty good exchange with the zls in Saskatoon Thursday. I was with elder Darley and elder Sauni was with elder Burt.
Every time me and elder Darley are together it seems that we have an interesting exchange and get all sorts of stories. Did a couple stop bys and we had one drunk native guy come out and talk to us for close to 30min since the lady we were looking for wasn't home (she was drunk) he asked us about gays and how we view them and how God views it all, Asked if we were born in the church, asked why we share God's word. Almost all the answers we gave him he had some way of turning them around on us and trying to get me and Darley to say opposite things if what the other said. It was pretty interesting because he'd ask one question to Darley and he’d answer no, then he'd ask me a different question and I'd say yes and he'd just get confused cause we think he thought he was asking the same question to both of us ha-ha it was just a round and round conversation with him.
Had a drug deal go down while we were teaching one of the potentials they had so that was pretty sweet.
Construction was all over the place down where we were trying to tract so in order to get around we had to drive up and down and around all the roads just to get to one street. On the way back though we just decided to use the alleyways and that kinda got us stuck when we came across one they had road closed signs at the end of it... It was a long ways to back up. While we were trying to decide what to do a car pulled up at the signs and a lady got out and moved the signs and the car drove in and we let them pass and then the lady let us out ha-ha and put the signs back. We were at this point on a construction site so we made a quick decision and elder Darley jumped out and moved the signs that were across road out of the way so I could get through to the other side of the alley and I drove across the road to the other side and yeah that's how we got around that time.
I gave a blessing to one of their investigators out in outlook after we taught a lesson with bro spencer which according to them was very good and what he was needing.
The Frocs boy got back from his mission this week so Saturday we had dinner with them and got to hear about his mission in Croatia (no idea how to spell it)
Had a last half hr. miracle Saturday night after dinner with the Frocs! We were doing some SBs and we got let into the one house we went to and got to teach a guy named Vincent, he's Filipino and has a Catholic background but isn't super strong in it from what he was saying but at the same time he is... Taught him the restoration and commitment him to read the B of M and pray about it. He wasn't too willing at first to do that because he felt he had what he needed and was good but eventually we got him to at least try and see and we didn't think we'd be getting back in with him but we got him to let us back again so that was good! He has lots of questions about us from the things other have told him but he doesn’t want to offend us. He asked a couple but we'll see if we can get him to ask more next time.
Had a lot of people show for Benton’s homecoming on Sunday! It was super good! I can't remember much of what he said but he made we wanna come home and have the change he seemed to have had while out, guess we'll see soon enough how that goes for me.
Well that was our week pretty much. It was a good one with lots a driving and finding new people so it's been nice.
Love ya all talk to ya next week!
