I'll start with my week. Remember it started in Tofield and then to Fort Mac.
Monday
Well
we went to Kastendieck's acreage that morning for breakfast. We got the
call on the way. It was fun to be there. I'm going to miss the acreage.
It was fun out there. We then drove back to grab clothes and then we
went to Veg. We emailed and then went to say goodbyes.
In all we saw Chuck, Sis Yost, Sis Gillespie, Grandma Deal, Soren, then
Stennes. I'm going to miss them all.
Tuesday
Well
it started with packing. We had a lesson with Roni with Pres Hillyer
and Sis Fisher. It went really well. We then drove over to Hillyer's to
say goodbye. We went and saw the Chutes. We then went to supper at
Kastendiecks'. It was a great last supper. :) Going to miss them. They
made a candy poster for me. Don't worry Mom. I haven't finished all of
it. Barely eaten any of it. We stopped by Gillis' and then went to
Fishers one last time.
Wednesday
Well
I got everything packed up and in the car. We took off a little early
and went to Jannell's in Edmonton. We then went to Transfers. It was
cool I got to see some friends in the mission. It was fun. I'm now
companions with Elder Barber from Lehi. He lives super close and we
never knew each other. Funny how that works. Well the other Fort Mac
elders are Elder Hentunen and his trainee. They had to get some stuff
while we were in the city. It was weird, because we went to all of these
places in Londonderry. It was a trip back in time. Really strange. We
then left for Fort Mac. It is a 5 hour drive. That was the rest of the
night. Driving. YEAH!!!.....not. Elder Barber and I got to know each
other really well that night. :) That's a plus.
Thursday
I
don't really remember much. I didn't get much of a chance to write down
our plans. I know we had District Meeting and then lunch. We dropped
off our car for an oil change. We met with Bro O'Brey about some young
men that we could work with. Picked up the car and then had supper. We
then went to a memorial for someone in the ward that had just passed
away. We then went and met the Fitzner's.
Friday
Well
we had weekly planning then lunch. We then tried some potentials and
tracted. We met Bud. He is an older LA in the hospital. We then tried
more potentials and tracted. It was kind of miserable because it was
raining and cold all day. Not too much fun. We had supper and then met
the Roy's. They are a fun family. We then went and met with the
Simpson's. We then tried by the Reitz and they let us in. She is a
member and he isn't. We were able to get in and share a message and say a
prayer. It was pretty awesome, since he didn't seem too thrilled that
we were there. :) It was incredible.
Saturday
We went and did mormon.org
time and tracted. We had lunch and then tried potentials in Timberlea.
We at one point ditched the car and walked around trying people. It was
really effective. We were able to talk to a few people on the street. I
love this feeling of missionary work. We had supper with Soares. That
was interesting. We then tried by some La's and potentials. We then went
to Mackay's. They are an awesome couple.
Sunday
Well
we had Ward Council. We then had church. It was very interesting. We
ended up helping Sis McPhearson with the Food Drive. Didn't really get
to go to class. Still got to talk to a lot of the members. We then did
studies. We had coordination at Fitzner's and then went to supper at
Stewarts with the Diggle's and Crouch's. It was a ton of fun. Small
world moment again. Sis Stewart is Sis Pilisko's (Londonderry) sister.
Small world. We then were supposed to have a lesson with Lisa. We
stopped by yesterday and set up the appointment. We knocked two girls
answered the door and told us that she left for Las Vegas. WHAT? I guess
that happens up here. Lots of money lots of people just leave. We then
stopped by some other people.
Well that was my
week. I'm loving my time so far up here in Fort Mac. It is a great
area. A lot going on. We are working hard and doing lots. Slowly trying
to learn the area as well. I'm still driving. We are now driving a Chevy
Equinox. We call it a Soccer Mom car. It's a tank. Oh well :) It's fun.
:)
Love,
Elder Colin O'Neill
