I've got some pretty fun stories for this week so lets get into it :)
So the beginning of the crazy stuff that happened the day before Zone conference we got a call at 7:00
telling us we had to be in Saskatoon that day instead of the next day.
So we had to change a lot of plans to work with this plot twist. It was
well worth it though because there was a ton of crazy things that
happened there.
On the way there I was sitting
in the passenger seat of our car and the Meadow Lake Elders Tippets and
Peck sitting in the back and Stevens piloting the vehicle. This is
important for two reasons the first is I fell asleep and had my head
resting practically on my chest for most of the time until we passed a
train (we have a lot of those in canada) and Elder Peck behind me stuck
his arm out the window to get it to honk. It was so much fun to wake up
to a train honking its horn :)
The next reason
was we were driving in the city and we came to this corner that had a
little island between the turn and the normal intersection. If you can
imagine a triangle stuck right between the two roads. Anyway there was
this wasted guy walking off of that triangle towards us waiting for an
opening. So this guy proceeded to walk right towards our car and Elder
Tippets started yelling "HE'S GONNA HIT US" and right as he said that
the guy stopped right next to our car and looked so surprised that there
was a car right there. It was hilarious :) After that we drove away and
we were pretty sure we drove over his foot.
That
evening we decided to go to a mcdonalds to get some food and we found
this guy trying to sell something to get some food. So Elder Stevens was
like "I won't buy your stuff but I'll get you a mcdouble. So long story
short we taught this guy for about an hour and gave him a book of
mormon. We also met a preacher there and exchanged cards. It was crazy
stuff. :)
That night we were billeting at the
meadow green ward elders place and there was some interesting things
that happened there. But, when we were going to sleep Elder Tippets was
praying and fell asleep on his knees. Elder Peck and Stevens were making
fun of him to see if he was really asleep and that went on for about 30
minutes. It was crazy :) After a while he groaned and sat on me. We all
started busting up because he had no idea what happened :D
That's
all I got time for but hopefully I'll be able to talk about what we
learned at Zone Conference because it was great :) Love y'all. Potatoes
gonna potate

Hey, before I forget again I've got a confession. When I get home I want
to eat some stuffed mushrooms with you. The mission changes you in a
lot of ways but I never expected to start liking mushrooms... :D I don't
think there is a single food that I've tried that I won't eat now.
Thanks for raising me right.
I'm really enjoying the metric system a lot. It's been fairly easy to
adjust since we have the temperature whenever we get in the car. We also
talk about the weather all the time so I'm actually going to have a
difficult time getting back into the "normal" way of doing it.
