District Conference

So because the Fort Frances district is not a stake we had our district conference this last week. It was my first and possibly only time being part of a district conference so it was quite the experience. It was great to see President Craig and the crew here in the meetings on top of that. Fun fact: because a district is not a stake the mission president acts as the stake president and holds all of the keys for the district.

One of the unique things that happened because of this district conference was we got to billet the Kenora and Dryden Elders at our apartment. It was fun to see them and a bit odd because they're not even in our zone but because of weird boundaries they're part of our district.

Another fun thing that happened was we were able to go into Winnipeg for ZTM and have a party there. We came in a little early so we had to find some things to do in the city before we went in for the night. Elder Talbot having served there before suggested we go and find some of his past investigators and see how they were doing. I think he had direct communication for that because we found everyone home right at the right time and somehow in the dark found all the houses :) It ended up being a great night and we saw some miracles outside of our area. The next day we had ZTM and found out we're having a two transfer Atonement study so I'm psyched for that. The last study we had was for the Book of Mormon and I gained so much more of a testimony of it because of that. So I'm really excited to see where this goes these next few transfers.

Finally going back in time we had Canadian thanksgiving which was a lot of fun. We were able to have it over at a senior missionary couples house with some investigators of ours. It was a memorable night with lots of fun and good experiences. Not bragging or anything but I was the spoons champion of the night as well ;)

I think that's all I've got time for but I love y'all and I hope youz have a great week

Thank you for the good wishes :) We had a pretty good thanksgiving. I think the highlight of that night was Elder Talbot asking the Ms (our investigators) what first helped them realize this was the true church and they talked about how the missionaries talked so much about families and how the Gospel can help their family. It was quite nice to hear the testimony of investigators that are set on joining the church for a change.
