This week we had a lot of good stuff going on! I an really enjoying Brandon and Elder Timms is really good to me. It was an interesting start to the week with one of the sisters having to go home for medical on Monday. That was really sad but it was what was best I guess. It threw a kink in the system though because Elder Timms and I were leaving Monday night to go to Portage la Prairie to stay the night and begin our exchange the next day meaning we would miss District meeting on Tuesday. Since we would not be there and the sisters would now be in Winnipeg that meant that only one set of missionaries would be at district meeting, Elder Lewis the district leader and his companion. We thought that would be pointless so we asked President Craig for permission for the Neepawa Elders to come with us to Portage. It was granted so we took a little road trip and stayed the night at the Prortage Elders apartment. There were 8 missionaries there! We stayed for District meeting in portage then Elder Timms took Elder Low (my son) back to Brandon and I went with Elder Brown to Winkler. We had a great exchange. In Mission Leadership Council we talked about the importance of finding and teaching families. Elder brown and I found like 4 families. Something hillarious that happened though was the day before Elder Brown called and tol me to bring running shoes so we could go on a run. I miss running so m uch because I am yet to have a companion that will run with me so I was ecstatic! The morning comes and Elder Brown says he has a loop for us to do. We start at their apartment on 15th street and ran to 9th street where he turned around and ran home. That was the loop. I held my breath so i didn't laugh but I would be shocked if it wass more that 800m. It was hilarious. We have been finding quite a bit this week as well as trying to teach lessons. We are taking Mickaela to lessons quite a bit but I felt so bad. One day we had 3 lessons she was planning to come to. Guess how many cancelled/lunched us. You got it..... All 3! So instead we taught her at a park because we did not have anyone to come with us to her house. All in all though it has been a great week. One thing I learned was that the ward mission leader here knew Jessica Keoglar very well on her mission because he is from El Salvador. Church this week was great. I really like the ward here, they are very missionary minded. Hope you all had a great week.
Love you
Elder Stewart
