So to begin. Transfer
calls were today and.... I'm staying in the Fort with Elder Talbot. I'm
pretty happy with this call because I feel like there's more I need to
do here. I'm not sure what it is but we'll see what happens :) We're
having an addition of a set of sisters in our area as well so that will
be different. Finally Elder Moore is the first one to leave out our
whitewash district... It came as a surprise because we were thinking he
would be here for about 6 months and I would leave before him.
Now
to Atikoken (the real spelling(the other is the nickname)) So tossing
it back to the beginning of the mission there were rumors going around
about why there haven't been missionaries in Atikoken for a while. I'm
here to say that those rumors were a falsehood. What is true about
Atikoken, however, is that it is the furthest East in the mission that
anyone will go, being 50 miles from the next time zone. It used to have a
ward sized congregation a while ago and at church there we only had
three adult members of the congregation with two children. The rest were
sick and/or missing. Since there's nowhere for us to stay there we got
to sleep in the church building which was a blast :) We were considering
sleeping in the car but it wouldn't have been too fun in the cold. Even
with my winter campout training :) It was great to be in that branch
even with how few in number they were. We had a fast and testimony
meeting and the testimonies were wonderful. We had a 100% ratio of
bearing testimonies which is something you can't often say :) I've got
to say I really enjoyed being with such a small congregation. You'd
think from my 500 member wards that I would miss that but it's honestly
very nice not having that many people. It was a good time :)
So
today instead of doing Halloween things we were asked to come into
Winnipeg for a suprise ZTM so we should have some good stories from that
next week. Until then deuces
