Hi everybody! I made it through my first transfer! Elder Hatch has been here 6 months and now is being transferred. I'm staying and getting a new trainer.
General Conference was great! Here in Corner Brook we have 2 1/2 hour church so that won't be too big of a change here. It was a good week!
Tuesday- P-Day! We got up for a little bit and then had a nap. After the nap we went over and helped Hayley move some of her storage around. On our way home we stopped at the Newfoundland Emporium. They have all kinds of things from Newfoundland there. They had some luxury ugly sticks that were pretty expensive. I got a free Newfoundland rock from there haha! After that we had lunch and then went to Cox's Cove which is across the bay from us. While we were there we hiked on the beach to a small fishing community. There are no roads that go there. On our way back we stopped at a waterfall and walked around there for awhile.

That night for young men's we had a nerf war! Our car was pretty dirty on the outside so we gave it a hobo car wash. We got gas and used those windshield squeegee things to clean the whole car. It was a good night!
Wednesday- we had district meeting in Grand Falls so most of the day was spent driving or in the meeting. The meeting was good and it was our last one as a district! For dinner we had a Tongan sandwich. It's probably not healthy but it's good! To make it you need ramen noodles, an egg, bread and ranch. First you boil some water and then put the noodles in for exactly 13 seconds and then you take the noodles and put them in a frying pan. You mix the ramen noodle flavoring with an egg and pour it on the noodles in the pan but try to keep the mixture in the noodles. Flip the noodles until both sides are golden and then put the noodles in between 2 pieces of bread with ranch on them. It's a good meal on a budget! That night we met with a less active guy in Stephenville over Skype and read the Book of Mormon with him.
Thursday was great! We studied at Bowater park which looks awesome with all the leaves changing! After lunch we went to a senior center and were in charge of bean bag toss. It was so fun! Those seniors are ruthless with the smack talk haha! There was a funny couple named Walt and Nelly anytime Nelly would miss one of her throws Walt would start clapping and had a huge smile, when she made it he stomped his foot and angrily swung his arm. But anytime she would look over he would pretend to be cheering for her it was pretty funny. At the end Elder Hatch and I took a few throws. Walt told me to stick to scorekeeping haha! We had dinner with the Shenfields and our friend Hayley and then taught her about General Conference.
Friday- we did weekly planning and then went and tried to talk to people on a trail in the park. Nobody was interested. Later we went over to the church and set up everything to watch general conference. After we set up we had the new missionary zoom call. Then we went and got some little Caesar's pizza and took it to Hayley and then taught her the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
Saturday- in the morning we did comp study and waited for conference. After lunch we went over to the church and got ready. Only 4 other people came to watch on Saturday beside us and the Shenfields. Conference was so good! It was probably the first time I've ever focused during every talk. Conference seems really short as a missionary! In between sessions we went to the trail and talked to people. The second session of conference was good too! It was really weird that general conference starts and ends so late here.
Sunday was pretty much the same as Saturday. We taught the Whites (the 2 members in Labrador) over Skype. In between sessions we had a potluck. It was a good day!
Monday- Canadian Thanksgiving! I didn't realize it was Thanksgiving until about halfway through the day but it was good. For lunch we went to KFC. As we were leaving I filled up my drink and Elder Hatch freaked out and we hurried and left. Apparently they don't have free refills here oops! We had dinner with the Shenfields and Gillian one of the members. Then we had family home evening. For our activity we did an egg drop challenge it was really fun!
It was a good week! Pretty crazy my first transfer and my time with Elder Hatch are over! Hope you all have a great week!
