The Burning

So I finally got to burn a shirt. Finally :) It was a small little gathering but all four of us burned our shirts for the first time. It's a bit unique being with people who came out with me again. I'm so used to nearly dead missionaries :) But, I'll be sending pictures and hopefully some sort of video but, if not it'll come home when I send home my sd card.

Another big thing this last week was finding out about how well my previous areas are doing now. There was another baptism in Yorkton with a lady that I tried setting stuff up with her husband. I couldn't believe that it had happened but the angel said Look, and I looked and beheld that it did happen :) It's crazy how well that area is doing now. It was even in Melville who hasn't seen a baptism in years. It's good. Also in North Battleford. There was a less active lady that Elder Wilson and I tracted into who is now having her two kids baptized. I wish I could say that I taught both of those people but, I did not. That being said I'm absolutely positive that I had a guiding and driving influence that led to both of those. It's amazing to see can happen over time. 

We also went into Winnipeg again this week. That drive is a killer. I thought driving 2 hours every other week was hard. It really doesn't stand against 4 and a half hours though... But, It was a good time. We had a wonderful ZedTM put on by our Zone Lords. It was all on stuff that I've been working on so hats off to the mission for being inspired :) After the ZedTM we went to Mongo's which is a Mongolian grill that was soooooo good. I might've got something weird in my food because I was sick for a couple days after but it was worth it. 

Finally this was an exciting one for me. We were able to, over video calls, go to the open house for the Winnipeg Temple. We were able to see the land architecture for the lot that they're going to have it on. One of the things that I really enjoyed about it was the fact that they had a lot of places to park your bikes so it's a lot more community friendly. It's going to be a little larger than the Regina Temple probably mainly because it's got a basement. But, It's the first of it's generation of temples so it's going to have a unique structure when compared to other temples. It's planned to have Tyndall stone which from what I gathered is a local stone to the area. It'll be good :) Sadly, however, it's going to be completed well over a year after I get home... Oh well Just another excuse to make it back up here :) 

That's all I got for now. Love youz and I hope youz have a great week
