A week of Strange Food Experiences

So this week we were on 3 exchanges and  so I don't have tons to say, but I do have  a couple cool food things that happened. 

On Wednesday I was on exchange with Elder Hurren (I was his zone leader when he first came out and now he is a zone leader). We went to Del Taco for old times sake and the this random lady talking to us out of no where. We didn't approach her, but she approached us and asked us all sorts of awesome questions and then apologized for being creepy and kept on going. Turns out she lives like a block from the chapel Elder Hurren attends! so that was sweet. 

On Friday I had cow tongue with a hispanic recent convert family in the Victoria ward. It was actual really good! 

And then yesterday at dinner with the tongans I had horse. also really good. But at dinner I met a girl who serve in the Calgary mission like a year ago. She was in the same zone as the elder serving in Barnwell so when I told her where I was from she actually knew haha it was weird. Turns out she knew Elder Nonoa and Elder Nawahine, Elder Mackey, Cariesse, Fraser and Crapo so it was cool to bee able to talk about them a little bit.

 Love you all!

Just a short one

It hasn’t been too long since I last emailed. But we have done quite a bit. On Thursday we had MLC. It was great to get all of the Zone Leaders and Sister Training leaders together so soon after transfers. President and Sister Taylor did very well in their first MLC. It is super cool to watch them learn and grow with every moment. We are so blessed to have them to work with.

We also got a call to give a young man in the Tongan ward a blessing, which we ended up not doing because his grandfather did it (it’s better that way anyway). Their family has been struggling that last little while to make it to church consistent. We have wanted to help them, but they haven’t really be excepting of our offers, but now we think they will open up a little. It should hopefully pave us a path to a few investigators. Not everyone is a member at their house.

On Saturday we were on exchange.  I was with Elder Infanger in the YSA ward here in Rancho. We had a good day, we did a lot of service, but it is always nice to be able to serve someone.  We had a good day and spent a few hours in the sun tracting so my tan got a little better (priorities here).

Ofa Atu!

New Mission President

This week was an interesting one.

We celebrated Elder Millano's Birthday. We said goodbye the The Hobbs. It was hard to see them go. We said hello to the Taylor's. We did some errands. We help President Taylor with transfers. We helped President Taylor figure out how to Mission President (really not that hard, but still fun). We introduced the entire mission to President and Sister Taylor. We celebrated Canada Day(Aho Kanata), ok well I did. We figured out the logistical process of transfers.  We took some old missionaries to the airport and picked some new missionaries up from the airport. We celebrated America Day oh sorry Fourth of July. I can never remember why they blow stuff up all night here...like why the 4th?.. why not the 14th? Why July? Why not September? I wish they would name their holidays about what is going on that day. hahahaha.

President and Sister Taylor are super cool. They are on top of everything we throw at them. It has been super cool to see them grow, even in the few short moments that they have been here. They have definitely been prepared for this. Nothing else crazy last week.

This week we start our exchange craziness all over again. It will be good to get out an work with the Zone Leaders again.
