Argentina, maple syrup, lessons, and fire: plant the plants, fight the good fight

July 11, 2017

Innisfail is awesome. Me and Elder S have been having a ton of fun working together. Also I spelled his name wrong last week, sorry.

We have had the opportunity to teach a bunch of people this week too. And also the last missionary that was here went home on Sunday night after bringing his family to church here in Innisfail. So meeting him was pretty fun.

I don't have a ton of time, but just know, I'm doing awesome, and we are seeing miracles!

Innisfail is awesome; we are teaching a lot of people, and we're having a blast doing it. Elder S reminds me a lot of my brother (Shout out to ya bro!) So we've been getting along fine. He is learning English still, but he is pretty much fluent. Also to give some background on him: he's from Argentina, he speaks Spanish sometimes, he loves the gospel, and he isn't a fan of Chileans, sorry sis๐Ÿ˜‚. Though he is probably one of my favorite companions, definitely one of the top 3.

Area wise, we have a lot of people to teach. Some of the main ones that we're meeting with are: A and L, A is the son of L, and we have been teaching them or at least trying, haha. L is kinda an eternigator (eternal investigator), but technically pretty much their whole family is progressing, or at least they are reading the bible and praying about the Book of Mormon (we're working on getting them to read the Book of Mormon and then pray about it.) But they are on holiday right now, so we can't really teach them yet.

We also have C, she is progressing great, or at least she was until she told us about her ability to heal people with the energy behind her shoulders... We're working on it. 

We also have some less actives that we've been teaching a bit. R is one of them, we are having a tough time getting fellowshippers for her, but she comes to church on a semi-regular basis, so it's a weird situation.

One weird thing that happens here in Innisfail is when we go to R's house every other p-day to play dungeons and dragons with a nonmember, a potential, a former investigator, a less active, and one of R's home teachers. It's crazy! But pretty fun. And we get to sneak in some teaching while we do it, and we have a fellowshipper for all of them! 

We also have bikes! Well we do now, we kind of have a limit on how many kilometers we're supposed to use in a month, and when they brought the car up to Edmonton for transfers and when I brought it back with Elder G (never forget) we kinda destroyed our klicks for the month๐Ÿคท๐Ÿผ‍♂️ so some members are letting us use some old bikes of theirs! It's been awesome to ride a bike on my misssion! You always hear the stories of missionaries on their bikes doing awesome stuff, and I was kinda bummed that we didn't have bikes before when I was in Leduc, but now we have bikes! And it's awesome, I feel majestic.
