WOW this week was crazy. We didn't get to email until Wednesday since we had zone conference yesterday and the library is closed on Monday. Wednesday is a long time to wait to email everyone. I don't like it. Well other than that everything else is good.
Tuesday
Well
we emailed and then had lunch. We spent the whole day trying potentials
and tracting. We had supper at Sis Roughley's with the older Fisher's
and her friend Della. It was really cool. We had a lesson on the BOM,
but as it went on Della had questions about the POS so we talked a
little bit about it then and gave her a POS pamphlet. It was a really
cool lesson. We then stopped by the Princes and then went and met with
Galongo's. It was pretty relaxing to finally sit down and talk.
Wednesday
Veg
day. We had a lot that went on. We were going to meet with Anthony with
Bro Bates but that didn't happen. We had to fill in some time before our
lesson with Meggie and Sis Fisher. It was pretty funny. I don't
remember what we were teaching, but we wanted Sis Fisher to invite her
to church. We didn't really know how to give Sis Fisher the clue so
Elder Garver showed her the page in the back of the pamphlet about Come
Worship with Us. She didn't know if he wanted her to read the page or
what. He finally pointed to the Come Worship with Us and she turns to
Meggie, "Well now I going to invite you to church." It was pretty funny.
We need members at lessons but we don't always know how to make
everything go. We had lunch out at the Bates, elk hamburger stew. We met
with Sis Gillespie. She is back in the hospital. We then went to Soren
and Lynda's. Well we finally got our pics taken. It was pretty fun. I
was much more comfortable posing for them then Elder Garver. We met with
Sis Yost. Chuck and Mary took us to Vito's for supper. After we ran to
bowling. It was fun since it was funky bowling. They had to do different
things each round. I don't remember it perfectly but it was something
like normal, right hand, left hand, both hands, backwards, one foot,
sitting down, holding a team mates hand, between the teams legs, then
however. It was pretty fun to watch them. They were having a great time
too. We then went out to Stennes' and helped them move some washers
around to get fixed or taken away.
Thursday
Well
we had district meeting and lunch at Kelly's. We came back and helped
out at Busy B. We then drove to Ryley. We stopped by the McCauley's. Sis
McCauley had their baby and he was doing well. We then tracted in Ryley
for a while. We had supper with Bro Fisher again, then we tracted some
more.
Friday
We
did a little bit of planning then went to the Food Bank. We actually
helped out that time. We then finished planning and had lunch. We did
Mormon.org time and then tried Potentials and tracted. We helped take
down the Farmer's market again. We didn't have to take down the tables
this time which was nice. We then had supper at Cahoon's. The Older
Cahoons just came back from their mission in Burundi Africa. So we got
to meet Sis Cahoon. It was fun. They also have one of those back
stretching things that lets you hang upside down and we tried it out. It
was really fun. Just hanging by your feet was cool. We then went and
met with Carol again. She is super nice. We cut it short, because we
were going to help Sis Roughley move some dirt, but when we got there
she changed her mind for that night. It was alright.
Saturday
Veg
Day. We went out first thing to the Stennes and helped them out. I
guess a lot has been going on and our visit was a really good thing. We
then had lunch. We went and visited with Sis Skeem. We then went and met
with Shirley. We showed her about Mormon messages. Before we could
watch one we found one for Father's day and she shared it on her
husbands Facebook page for everyone to see. It was pretty awesome. We
then went to try potentials and stopped by Dianne. We had called her
many times before but we couldn't ever make things work out. We just
stopped by and she let us in. We walked in and there were scriptures and
pictures of Christ all over the walls. On the table she had three
different bibles open. It was crazy. We were a little worried about what
we were getting into, but she is just confused. She had been bouncing
between about 4 different churches and is just confused. We started by
talking about the Book of Mormon and how it really does give us more
than the bible does. She already had three of those from different
missionaries before. We then had supper and tried to take a small nap.
We had a lesson with Roy and Crystal, which went pretty well. On the way
out of town we stopped and got shakes at DQ. I miss going and getting
shakes every so often.
Sunday
Well
it was church. The senior Cahoons spoke and it was really cool. They
had quite a time in Africa. After church they had a lunch since a lot of
their family was there and they live a decent ways from the church.
They invited anyone to come. There was plenty of food and it was good.
We spent most of the night tracting. We did stop by the Comeniuks and
had a good visit with them. Their RM daughter told us to go stop by her
friend. After that we tracted that street. It is right by our apartment.
She was nice but busy and told us to come back another time. We at some
point took a supper break. We then kept trying potentials and tracting.
We ended the night at Murray's. It was weird that time.
Monday
Well
it was pday, but didn't really start off like a pday. Heidi that I met
at Busy B needed our help that morning. She had found someone to put a
window in her shed and he needed help. I didn't mind going out to help.
We put the window in and did some other things that were some heavy
lifting. We then came back and changed to go play basketball with The
Kastendieck's and their friends. There were a lot of people there this
time. It was fun. We had 4 on 4 games. It was a long time though. We
were there for like 4 hours playing basketball. We then came back and
showered and took a nap. We got ready and had supper with Bro Tiedemann.
It was nice. We then tried by some potentials.
Tuesday
Well we had zone conference. It was supposed to be from 8:30-4:00, but what ever starts on time. It was more like 9:00 to 4:30.
It was really good though. It was fun too. I got to see Elder Coomer
and Sis McEwen again. I got to hear about what's been going on.
Apparently since I left Elder Hentunen and his comp started to focus on
teaching Annette's daughter Kennedy more and she is getting baptized this Saturday.
That was really cool to hear. You never know what you might start in
one area and have to leave behind for someone else. It was truly amazing
news. Well after Zone Conference we headed to Veg. It was cool driving
through Edmonton, because the road that leads to Veg went through
Londonderry and we drove through a little bit of it. We had supper with
Shaw's. We then tracted for a bit. Then we went to Chuck's.
Love you all,
Elder Colin O'Neill
