This week went really well, and we were able to have a good amount of success. Monday was fun, i got to know some more members and some less active members so that was good. i have become a lot more comfortable talking to random people so i feel like I already know like the whole ward here which is nice. On Tuesday we had district meeting and it was really good. It is fun to be on the other side of a district meeting again and receive the training. Elder Lewis is our district leader, He came out with Elder Low and i actually got to exchange with him on his first day in thee mission. He gives really good training and makes it pretty fun. We also saw Mickaela on Tuesday. her baptism is this Saturday and i am so excited!!! She is seriously like the most prepared person I have ever met. She is amazing. For example she was out of town this weekend but felt it important to attend church so we said she could Skype into the meeting in Thompson Manitoba. She said that sounded great but changed her mind Sunday morning and drove 45 minutes from where she was staying at her uncles house to Minot north Dakota to attend an 8:00am ward in Minot! She isn't even baptized yet and is probably a better member of the church than me haha. We are very excited for it this weekend. She also set up the whole baptism and chose members of the ward to give talks, Prayers, baptize her, and stuff like that. She makes our job easy.
Elder Timms is great, he is showing me the zone leader ropes well and I am learning. He is also very loving towards our stewardship and that is something i am trying to exemplify and learn from. it rained like crazy here this week. My shoes got soaked the one day so i decided to take the souls out on Tuesday and let them dry. Well as an Alberta boy you would expect them to be dry by like Wednesday morning. Wrong, Manitoba is soooooo humid. they are finally dry today. 6 days later! It is the worst. We had a ward BBQ on Saturday which went well. it is interesting her that about half of the ward here in Brandon is Spanish. Like don't speak English Spanish so I am learning a little bit! there are Spanish missionaries that translate the meetings. All in all the week was really good and I love Brandon and I love having the opportunity to be a zone leader and help the missionaries in the stewardship.
Love Elder Stewart
PS Sadly, Elder Kiriaka had to go home this week for health reasons. That was hard.
