Missionaries are recyclable?

May 1, 2018

So I made it back to Leduc, and guess what? Nothing changed! Okay, that's not entirely true, but pretty much! It was awesome to find some stuff that I accidentally left here when I went to Innisfail, some of which haven't moved an inch! 

It's been a good time so far with my two companions Elder L and Elder Z. "Tripans" are awesome.

Elder L is from Taiwan and has great English and has been out on his mission for like 20 months. He says he is also a cat whisperer.

Elder Z is also from Taiwan, but the south part, and he hasn't been out very long at all. He Is Hilarious!

Elder Z was already here, but his other companion was replaced by Elder L and I, and since his English is a work in progress, it's almost like we're "whitewashing" (starting from scratch). So we didn't really have anyone to work with when we first got here, so we went tracting, and seriously, I have never set up this many appointments with people in my entire mission! I mean, only a couple of them have actually happened, but we scheduled an average of about 2 a day! 💥

Crazy stuff folks. Crazy, crazy stuff.

Also, shout-out to my sister and her betrothed who are getting married this Saturday. 🎉

p.s. here are some awesome quotes from members so far:

"So the mission is recycling missionaries now? Good to know the Church is going green." 

- Brother F

(After recovering from a bad car crash this last summer)

"As you can see I can walk again! I'm going to move on to levitation next!"
(In an amazing British accent.)

So does anyone remember last year when I helped out with a highway cleanup? Probably not since it was overshadowed by the steak challenge, but I got to do it again this year! We pretty much walked from Calmar to Leduc, then back again. Last year we found a cat skull, but this year we found an entire coyote skeleton! Fun time.

Also! We have the most amazing investigator here. Her name is S, and she is from Korea. She's actually been meeting with missionaries for about 10 years! She is pretty much a member, but she can't be baptized without her husband's approval, and he lives in Korea, so it's hard to talk to him about it.  She has the most faith out of any other person I've ever seen here!

We also got to have dinner with the Ts last week! I missed them a bunch. It's good to be back and hear some of Brother T's "Pearls of Wisdom."

And to top it all off, we were in Edmonton for a day because my companions had a weird meeting they had to go to. So, I was with another companionship for the day. We had a ton of fun. I had Five-Guys (yes it's in Canada!), and we found a lot of weird people, and I destroyed them at chess when we got home! Goood day.

P.s. My sister got married!
