January 9, 2017 - Happy 18 months to me :(

This week was quite possibly the best week I have ever had numerically. We just had so many things that fell into place. 
Monday we taught the Hamiltons, they are a part member family and the 2 nonmembers are getting baptized next Saturday (January 21st). We have been seeing them a lot to get them prepared. They are doing so well and I am so excited to see them baptized. 

Tuesday we got the upper body work out for the ages. We got a call from a member who asked us to come shovel for her. We said we would do it and it was great. It did however take us 4 hours to do. They were kind of in a corner and their walkway had drifted more than 4 feet high. After we finished the from we shoveled her back porch. Her porch is like 4 feet off of the ground and the snow is piled up higher than the porch. It reminds me of Waterton except that there is no mountains. After that we had to go do some office work for a little bit. We also taught Emmanuel who is the son of a recent convert and that was nice. 

Wednesday we had ZTM. It was so strange to not b the one presenting it because for the last 8 months I would have been giving the ZTM. Elder Quinton was one of the ZL's and he did a good job though. That was a long day because after the ZTM we had to give training to a brand new District Leader. We then got to meet with President Craig about a few things. He is the perfect example of benevolent leadership. He asks us our opinions and actually takes them to heart. I love that man! We again saw the Hamiltons. 

Thursday was an interesting day, I exchanged with Elder Quinton in his area. We had a bunch of lessons set but they all lunched us, even the members lunched us for our dinner appointment. We tracted all day but we tracted inside apartment buildings for part of it which is WAY nicer than outside. It is fun to be able to talk with him and get along well. He and I are becoming pretty decent friends. We play ball every morning with his companionship. It is always fun to conduct an exchange with the zone Leaders because they are all such solid missionaries and I learn so much. 
Friday I exchanged with Elder Truman Moore(currently the Saskatoon ZL), he was my MTC companion. We split our area with Elder Griffin and Elder Francis. We found all day and it did our area a super nice favour becaue now we are busy! 
Saturday we taught african families all day! It was great.
Sunday is always a crazy day with meetings and indicators. Overall it was a good week! 

Love you all
