Elder MikeSpell

So... The change has occurred Elder Spell is my new companion/trainer. He's been out for a long time so I've been glad to draw from his experience. Thank you all for your prayers and good thoughts I've survived the transfer and am planning on having a most excellent transfer coming up. We've been really bonding together pretty well. He's a good and funny guy. It's going to be such a good transfer.

So this week was Canadian thanksgiving and something I wasn't able to talk about was a massive fire we had at the H's after it all happened. Let's just say that gasoline was in excess at this event with at least two jugs of it being tossed onto the fire to get it started. Plus there was about ten pallets stacked on top of each other drenched in gasoline and left over oil from deep frying the turkeys. Needless to say if anything gets done at the H's it gets done. I almost forgot to mention we started it using fireworks :D

Another great thing that happened this week was we were able to go out to the BBBs in Kamsack. Kamsack technically isn't in our area but since Elder Baker was still waiting for his new companion because somebody decided to put diesel into the truck rather than gasoline... But, since he was gone Elder Spell and I were out to go have an experience at B's Bed and Breakfast which has legends tied to it. We didn't get the Bed and Breakfast part but Brother B still fed us like there was no tomorrow and not just fed us but FED us. He was telling us a story how he while on his mission helped his companion gain 40 pounds in about two months :D. IT was hilarious.

That's all I got for now. I've got to finally send my pictures because I've been unable to for the last forever so TTFN.

*some from my email*

But yeah that fire was legit. I have a video of how we tried starting it (with fireworks) and also Brother H just loves gasoline. There was so much gasoline on that thing :D but it had rained so it didn't start right away. We had to start a little fire by it and throw a couple jugs of gasoline on it before it started :D Lots of safe fun. good times. Also Elder Baker had passed his year mark so he burned his shirt in that fire it was great.

Elder Spell and I have gotten off to such a wonderful start we're becoming good buddies and just having the time of our lives. I respect and love him so much and I'm excited for where we're going to go.

I'm planning on a having a good birthday and I might get myself a Bionicle... ;) Thanks for the birthday stuff and I'll be having district lunch on my birthday which'll be good. Something that happens a lot out here is we go out to eat. I kindof get sick of how much we go out to eat sometime but it's a way a lot of people back home spent time with their friends. I've been having to figure out how to spend money wisely with eating out because I never really had to figure that out before. I've been great at spending money wisely with food else where but not eating out... It's all good it's a good learning experience.
