Southgate Chapter 10

Well this week has been fun. It seems like it's been a log time since pday. Well it's been an extra day, since I forgot to mention that our pday's were changed to Tuesday. Some missionaries were taking Sunday night as pday eve. President Manion wants us to make the Sabbath more meaningful and has moved pday so we can focus more on the Sabbath day. :) So for the next few weeks I'll be emailing on Tuesday.

Well on with the rest of the week.

Monday

It was the last monday pday. We got a ride after emails with Rutherford to go shopping. They then dropped us off at our apartment. We then walked up to Whyte Ave. It's a shopping street. Tons of little shops all over. It was fun to just walk around. We went to head to supper and waited for the bus for 30 minutes. When it didn't come we just walked. We then had supper with Byams then FHE with the Raaflaubs.

Tuesday

We traveled to the church and did Facebook. We then just tried people and walked around trying to talk to people. We had supper with Draycott's. We then worked our way home. Not much that day.

Wednesday

We were in the office that day. It was great to be in the office that day too. It was snowing all day. It wasn't snowing too much by the time we were leaving which was good, but we enjoyed being inside for that time. :) We then got a ride from the Salter's back home and had supper. We the went to the library.

Thursday

We had District Meeting. We got surprised in the middle of it when Sister Manion walked in. She sat in for a little bit and then went to the other district. She stayed and chatted a little bit during lunch. We got a ride back to our apartment from the Ap's to drop off somethings. We then just travelled around and tried by some people. We had supper by ourselves again and then we just tried some more people that day.

Friday

We did some things at the apartment and then went to the office after lunch. I did what needed to be done while Elder Minaker was working on the training manual. We then travelled home. We had supper with the Browers. It was fun. We ate outside. We were sitting there eating and Sis Fairbairn, who lives in the same complex was coming home with groceries. Well Sis Brower invited her down to join us after she put everything away. They are great. It was a good supper. We then traveled around. We had to wait at Southgate station for the Greenfield elders for a bit. we brought them the referral bible they were needing and then headed home.

Saturday

Well we did some planning that morning and got some things resolved. We then had lunch and went to the church for FB. We then tried some people and traveled. We had supper with the Iverson's. We then were going to go over to the Raaflaubs. When we got there we went on a little trip over to the river area. There was a break up that occured so we became involved in the distraction from it by going to the river and taking a little hike. It was fun. :)

Sunday

We didn't have any meetings that morning due to Mother's Day. :) We had church and then we went back for lunch. We did studies and then went to the Cahoon's for supper. They invited us over after church since we didn't have a supper. We then went to the Stewarts and SKYPED!!! It was a bit crazy getting connected, but it was wonderful to be able to talk with Mom. :) Love you!! <3

Monday

We went down to the church for computers in the morning and then came back and had lunch. we then tracted and walked around. We talked to one guy who told us the history of St. Patrick, the origin of the word hello and that he should have been the next Pope...twice...He was a fun guy to talk to. We had supper with Byam's and then had FHE with the Raaflaub's. It was a good day.

Well the weather is beautiful outside. No more snow....I hope. Things are starting to pick up for us. Hopefully we will be able to finally see some investigators soon. :)

Love, Elder O'Neill

Southgate Chapter 9

Well this week was interesting. We didn't have much, but we still tried.

Monday

We had Pday. Got a ride with Mandarin West. We played some frisbee and soccer with Lakewood and Spanish. It was fun we then had supper at Byam's and they were rushed and we were originally rushed, they just picked up McDonalds. It was still great. :) We then had FHE with the Raaflaub's at the Read's. It was a ton of fun. :)

Tuesday

We went and did Facebook at the church. We were coming out of the church to catch the bus and it drove passed. So we went back inside and had to wait for a bit till the next bus came. We then went up and grabbed clothes for later. We tried some potentials. We then had supper with Arrison's and then changed there so we could go help with a move down the street. It went alright. Nothing was packed as much as we had hoped. Bro Foulston then took us out for Ice Cream. :)

Wednesday

Well we had to go to the office for a bit. We need to pick up a key and then we helped Elder Salter with some things. We then went back and changed and went to Dean's house to help him move. He is the guy we went and helped paint a little while ago. Bro Coombs was there and we moved some boxes from his basement to his garage. We then helped him move some boxes from his storage unit to his garage. Well before our first trip to the storage unit we had to drop off something at Bro Coombs. He went around to the front to get in and told his wife there were two guys probably trying to sell something, don't answer. Well we pull around the corner and she called him. She did answer and it was the Spanish elders. It was super funny. They came with us and I'm so glad they did. It went a lot faster and went a lot better overall. Afterwards Bro Coombs took us out to Montana's. Wednesday is all you can eat ribs. :) I tapped out early. We also found out that the all you can eat ribs is only a rack and a quarter. I had the full rack. Bro Coombs had half and was taking another half home for his wife. The other three got 1 1/2 racks. Since the waitress was awesome and brought them another 1/4 for what we didn't eat. It was a lot of fun.

Thursday

We had District Meeting and then had lunch. It was just our district, our small district, at the church for lunch. We then did mormon.org time. We tried some potentials. We then had supper with the Cahoons. We then met with Justin Lee.

Friday

We were in the office all day. Minakers were gone so we had to fill in for everyone. It was a boring day. We then went back and had supper. we then went to the Raaflaubs and helped them out with some projects.

Saturday

We tried by Steve. He wasn't home. We did Facebook at the church, sort of. Internet was in and out. We then traveled up and tried some potentials. Stopped by Josue and he was waiting for a Skype call for his Father's birthday. We then had supper. We didn't do much else that night.

Sunday

PEC. Elder Low and I helped set up chairs and then stood outside for a while. It felt soo good. We then had church is was pretty good. We then were dropped off by the AP's at southgate and had to take the time to travel to coordination. Had coordination and got a ride from Kendricks back home. We did our studies and had supper. We then tried some more potentials after supper.

It was a pretty boring week. Not much happening. Trying to do the best we can.
