Transfer news, Elder Allred is going to Kanora Ontario, and I'm getting a missionary named Elder Hawkins, a little short guy (I'm thinking 5'4") which is pretty funny because Elder Allred is 6'3" So on Wednesday we drive to Moosejaw to drop Elder Allred off. he's got a ways to drive.
This week was good, Elaine went to watch the Women's broadcast, and then used it against me on sunday claiming that "I said she didn't have to go to church if she came the the broadcast" pish posh like I would tell her that... Everything has been good here, It's been picking up a little speed. The nice part about Elder Allred Leaving is that all the members have wanted to feed us! Elaine embroidered a towel for Elder Allred before he left.. first time she's done that for a missionary in the six years she's been taught. so he must have done something right, I usually just try and steal her cigarettes. The most important thing is that Elaine is progressing and that is wonderful.
Other than that I've been enjoying myself. I write little notes when I study and that has made all the difference, it forces me to slow down and analyze what I am reading. there really is a wealth of knowledge in the scriptures, I shouldve taken better advantage of that all along. I forgot to take a picture, but I recently aquired a tie that has a little rooster on the back, and the brand is Rooster, so I should probably just send it home so no one steals it from me. (Ryus' nickname from is dad is Rooster, 'cause his hair, when it was too long, always stuck up in the back like a rooster tail)
So onto questions
Transfer stuff ? (duh) all the details please
see above.
Hows Elaine? see above
Best moment?
I like it when Elaine is at church functions, we didn't get to see brother B this week because he was sleeping, but I'm going to try to go either on the way to moosejaw or on the way back.
Best meal?
The T's ( a crazy old couple that got baptized a while back) fed us dinner yesterday, it was so good, they're about 80 and it was a good home cooked dinner, just chicken and vegetables and rice. it was really good
Weirdest meal (food)?
Come on mom, it's Canada...
actually I take that back, I haven't had really any weird food, but I guess there is a large Philippine population here, and they sometimes have balute, which is a partially formed duck in an egg, but I've never had it. We'll see how it is when it comes around.
Do you interact much with the Amish-type communities?
Not much. I say hello in walmart and such, but they mostly just keep to themselves.
Funniest moment?
...well.. sometimes I flip the breakers off while people are showering.. but that's not really new.. there hasn't been anything over the top funny this week. The other elders in our district come over sometimes because they have church in our town.. and sometimes I can get them to dump cold water on each other while they are showering.. That's about it.
Does your "people to write" list get bigger every time, or has it leveled off?
It's leveled off pretty well, not everyone is diligent and writes me every week so I write different people each week, I'm not a fan of the big mass emails that most missionaries do, so I try to write something personal to anyone who emails me.
Ps. I thought you might appreciate my nerdiness, but I've got my inbox set up to where it automatically sorts the emails I get into folders, just a little reminder of what a little nerd your son is..
The coolest nerd I know!
Sorry in this mission we would say "the Neatest nerd"
