Editor's Note:
We only had a brief email on March 13 saying that they had to go to Thompson and that he would write the following week. So, this came on March 20, about the previous week. We then got a second email that same day about that week.
This week we had a bunch going on! As you know we headed up to Thompson for an exchange. It reminds me of old times because right now Elder Gee is Training Elder Darley and they have been on their mission for a combined 7 months. It makes me think of Elder Birchall and i and Elder Low and I. These Elders are doing well and enjoying things up there. One of their biggest struggles that they have been having is that they baptized 2 people that then disappeared before their confirmation. Elder Wright and I set it as a goal to find them because they had no been heard from in 3 weeks. Long story short Elder Wright found them in the morning and then I found them in the afternoon. He beat me to it haha. I don't know for sure what will happen with their confirmation but they are found. It was super fun to be back up there. I had to work hard to not just make the day for me because we had 3 meal appointments that they had set because I had been gone for so long. Going back to old areas is a good time.
Wednesday we drove back to Winnipeg but since we are kind of dumb sometimes we got 50 km out of town and got the "Low Fuel" notification. We elected to just go back to Thompson rather than risk it because we were in the North and there is nothing anywhere up there. That added time to an already long trip.
Thursday we had an exchange with the Brandon ZL's here in Winnipeg. We have not been able to do much missionary work in our area recently with transfer week and then a trip to Thompson so on this exchange we tracted all day. We did not even get to teach a lesson which is sad because exchanges are better if you an do a little bit of everything.
Friday we got to go to the airport with President Craig to get a missionary who had gone home but came back. It is always fun to see missionaries fresh off of the airplane. He will be in a tri-pan for the remainder of the transfer. We are glad to have him back.
Saturday we also tracted all day. We are doing a ton of that. I am learning that contrary to popular belief sometimes that is the most effective thing because some people just need a break from missionaries or church or whatever if they are not willing to progress.
Sunday Elder Wright gave a talk in church. This nigerian lady showed up for church with her friend and she is a non-member. We were pretty excited to try to teach her but the sisters got her first haha. Hopefully she can go somewhere with it!
this week we have 3 Zone Conferences to go to and train at. We are training on everyone's favorite subject... Obedience!
Love Elder Stewart
