This week was a good one as far as missionary work goes for the most part. We had a lost of success and taught quite a few lessons. We had the chance to exchange with the Winnipeg Spanish Elders. Thank goodness this transfer the exchange was in Brandon so we spoke English. I was with Elder Bateman who is newly in the mission. He is in his 6th week. We got to teach a few good lessons and one of them was really awkward. We were teaching this guy named David who is like 19 but living at home. Part way through the lessons his mom walked in and told him that we had to leave so we got cut off short. It is sad that we can't teach him any more because he seemed solid. That is OK though.
On wednesday we got a call from the assistants asking us to give a portion at the surprise MLC on Friday. We were not supposed to have one but president wanted one so we had one. It is for all of the Zl's an the Sister Training Leaders but usually just the Assistants and President and Sister Craig train but this time we gave training too. It well! We got to drive in instead of skyping so that is the best! We gave a portion on how to meet with the bishop and get the rescue initiative going. We got like half an hour but it was not nearly enough time. I feel like I always go in thinking that I will have a hard time filling the time but it flies by. "time flies when you are having fun" and giving training is fun. We have another ZTM on Wednesday which is crazy because transfers are on Thursday. Speaking of Transfers I am being transferred to Winnippeg Gateway ward as a Zone Leader still. I am excited but SUPER sad to leave Brandon. Brandon has been my favorite area so far i think. Even more than Thompson.
Saturday night the ward put on the best ward party I have seen here in Brandon. Problem was we called 18 member families to give a ride to our investigators and no one could except for our ward mission leader who was working. long story short we showed up late to pick them up and because of that they dropped us and their baptismal date. SO SAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hopefully they can see that the Gospel is perfect even when the messengers are not.
Church on Sunday was really good! It was fast and testimony and we as the missionaries sang in church again which was good. It was a very powerful testimony meeting.
Love you all!
