Mighty fine week here in Brandon! We had a pretty busy week with lots of teaching and even more finding! Most missionaries despise finding because most people despise being found when we knock on their door or stop them on the street but that is all good. One thing i have learned that the hardest part abut finding is one of two things 1. it is -39 so no living creature deserves to be outside or 2. which is much more common this time of year, telling yourself it is worth it even if it is not fun. It is not that hard to convince myself to do it and lucky for me it is easy for Elder Timms as well. Exchanges throw an interesting twists into things. We were conducting an exchange with one of our District Leaders and his companion. I went to Neepawa with our district leaders companion and he doesn't love finding. We did a lot of good though and had the chance to do a ton of service and then at the end of the night when we had time we went finding inn a super fun way. We go on their bikes that i did not know they had and we went tracting on acreages and farm houses. It was honestly so much fun! I really do love exchanges, it is so much fun but also you get to see other styles of missionary work but if you don't love it who cares? It is only 24 hours. While I was in Neepawa Elder Timms and Elder Lewis were here in Brandon and they taught 4 young adults that recently left their hutterite colonies. they are interested and are now reading the book of Mormon. 2 of them now have dates for baptism but 2 don't yet. We have continued to bring our recent Convert Mickaela to lessons. She is seriously so golden! She was in Saskatchewan where her parents live on Saturday but she drove back for church on Sunday only to turn right around after church to go back to Saskatchewan for fathers day dinner. She is amazing! After church we had a pot luck and t was pretty food. Typical Mormon food, Chilli, hot dogs and watermelon. No complaints though. Last night when we were collecting the weeks indicators from our zone to submit them to the assistants the power in Brandon went out. We almost cried haha and then After i had taken them by hand the power cam back on. It took forever but it was worth it.Tomorrow we have a zone conference with President and Sister Craig, the assistants and the whole zone. It will be fun and we are giving the training. No pressure right?
Love Elder Stewart
