THE BATTLEFORDS

So I made it safely here. I'm now with my third companion who came out about 20 months ago. It's kinda been fun serving with so many people who came out together. I'm sure we'll do just fine because he's already taught me how to play Yugioh and I'm going to help him figure out Dungeons and Dragons stuff. It's a pretty good deal :)

So basically the two things that are really different about this place is that there are actually hills. HILLS!!!!!! IT'S GREAT also I think I can feel the earth rotating. It's kinda wild but I can't really explain it any other way. Also as far as I know it hasn't really been any colder here than Yorkton so that's good. Honestly the plains are just a mess of cold. When you get up into the tundra I'm pretty sure it's warmer there on most days. 

We have already seen a miracle happen here. There is this lady in the branch that the missionaries from past years have warned to avoid. There was a legit sign written by a typewriter that said "avoid sister B." and we're having dinner with them next Sunday. She has never fed missionaries much at all and in the first week of me being here she is feeding us. Welcome to the Battlefords it's going to be a great next 6 months. I've had someone tell me I'm going to enjoy the summer here :) 

I think that's all I can think of right now. Love y'all. Potatoes gonna potate

The drive to Saskatoon wasn't really that bad. I've been in an outlying place so far so 2 hour drive is like nothing now. But, the fun part about it was that I was with three other guys that came out with me and it was all our first legit transfer. Also we got to drive the truck which was so much better than a tiny subaru. Since I had to go to Regina first it took a little bit longer than 5 hours to get there. 

Basically what happened was I went to Regina thursday night stayed the night in the Lewvan apartment with Elder Elwood. Which is always fun. But, in the morning I took all my belongings and went to the stake center. We then loaded everything up and we left to the Stoon (Saskatoon). We got there at around lunch time and I found Elder Stevens and we stayed for a little bit then left. It then took us about two hours to get to the Battlefords because we had low visibility. It was a fairly long day of traveling but it was nice because I got to catch up with people and meet some new people.
