Conference weekend


October 8, 2018

Well this week as you already know started off out in Flin Flon doing exchanges.
Got to see a lot of old friends and even teach a few of them! Got to see sis Castel, Shyanne, John, the Davis's and a few others that I remember from door knocking.
Got super lucky while in Flin flon, I got a sore throat which took my voice pretty well right away as we were leaving to drive back home and it stuck around a few days. Made things for black super fun because he had to talk at all the doors since I couldn't hardly talk. After two days of me not able to talk and him doing all the doors we decided we better just stay in Friday to try and get me back to normal.
Had a pretty close call on the way home Tuesday night as we drove through the forest in the dark. We were driving along talking when we saw a bigger truck coming towards us with its bright lights which was whatever we just kept going but just as we were about to pass this truck we caught sight of a little grey Ford truck not very far off the edge of the road (parked right in the middle of the white line) basically last second since that was about how close we were when we saw it I touch the brakes to slow down a little so when we got hit we didn't get wrecked as bad and then I turned so that we barely miss this Ford and we barely missed this other truck too, we had almost no space between us and the two trucks as we passed each other. It was a miracle we didn't get hit by one or the other, or both.
Needless to say we were both extra awake after that close call.
Had a another close call on the way back from doing a Book of Mormon drop in Kelvington, about a 2hr drive S of us. On the way home it was dark by this time, we took a weird back road so we could cut across over to Watson and up to Pleasant Dale to stop by a less active. Just a little after Watson we were driving and taking about whatever when elder back all the sudden was like "Yo! Yo! Yo!" and me with my dad's eyes I can't see super awesome in the dark like him and I didn’t see this moose on the edge of the road till we were basically right there (neither did Elder Black) So I hit the brakes and turned a little away from the moose and we went from 110 to 0 pretty darn quick and luckily the moose got spooked and ran the other way of us and back into the field. Again we were both pretty alert after that close call... We came to the conclusion that we must be doing something right in our area and Satan is trying to slow us down in some pretty crazy ways lol or maybe we are just super unlucky.
Conference was pretty good as most all of you know, got some interesting changes coming up. We had our investigators sky and cherish come to the Saturday afternoon session so that was nice! They by the way also have baptism dates for the 3rd of November!
Yeah not a whole lot happened here this week other than me being sick for most of it and us almost dying a few times, also we got snow up here now.... Not a lot but enough to say it's probably not leaving till I'm leaving the mission.
Well love ya all talk to you next week!
