Firstly we had a girl disappear. Straight up
that's what happened. We get this call from Mama Dy. (full name
reserved) telling us to get down to the R.s because one of their
daughters didn't come home from school. We went into panic mode and got
down there as fast as we could. Pause for a moment. The geography of the Battlefords goes like this. Imagine a river, a decently sized one, with
hills on one side of it, the North Battlefords side. On the other side
is the Battlefords side. So basically we were busting it from N.
Battlefords across the bridge to the Battlefords side. While we were
going across the bridge we saw, on the opposing traffic bridge, an
ambulance coming from the Battlefords with it's light on. We thought for
sure that she was a goner when we saw that. But, when we got to the R.s
house we saw Mama Dy. animatedly talking to a RCMP on the street and
the R.s by the house. When we got out Mama Dy. shooed us to the R.s when
we asked Sister R. what we could do and she said "find her" so we did
just that. We were told to go talk to people where she got off of the
bus and on the second house we knocked she opens up the door. Elder
Stevens was looking the other way at the moment so I'm like "Elder
Stevens is that her?" He just jumped with surprise and a thousand things
were going through his head. It was a wild experience. I had a massive
crash from all of the adrenaline.
So the
second thing: (this one isn't so crazy but is comparable to closing the
Melville house) we went to Saskatoon to get our Subaru fixed and
basically spent the whole day in the Stoon. I was able to get some dice
though :D
So the third was we went and had
dinner with the relief society president and her family. That in itself
isn't so bad but, she is notorious for hating missionaries. She straight
up ignored missionaries from our district holding the door open for her
and saying good morning. Elder Stevens way of explaining it is that he
didn't understand the fear of God until he met her. So yeah. It was a
great experience. I'm being totally serious about this I didn't find
what was so scary about her. I mean she's an immigrant from England and
she is very brutal with how she says things but IDK maybe I'm just not
easy to scare. She did get on missionaries cases for not reading the
book of Mormon before their mission until I told her that I had read the
Book of Mormon 2-3 times, the Doctrine and Covenants 2 times, the New
Testament 2 times, and the Old Testament once before I left on my
mission. So yeah, Good stuff. For all you missionaries that I email. Be
obedient it works out :)
Love youz. Have a great week :)
*from my email*
Haha funny story about the dinner with the Bs.. To begin I still
don't have the fear of sister B. I don't think Elder Elwood had
that fear as well when he was here. But anyways the food was great and
it was actually kindof a lot of fun because they have four kids that are
8 and younger. The youngest is just barely learning how to talk and she
said the prayer on the food and throughout the entire meal was talking
about how the food was good and tasty. This is the funny part: Sister
B went on a short rant about how missionaries can't really testify
about the book of Mormon if they haven't read it and how missionaries
read it for the first time in the MTC. I then told her, after she asked,
that I had read the book of Mormon 2-3 times and I had read the Doctrine and Covenants twice the New Testament twice and the Old Testament once. And then Elder Stevens piped up that I had finished the
Book of Mormon while here. After that she didn't say much about that
subject. After the meal we gave a stellar spiritual thought on fasting
and praying. It was really good :)
