Tuesday- we just hung around in the morning waiting for transfer news. We went and helped fix the lights on the church and then went and got groceries when we found out we were both staying. We had dinner with the Shenfields and then had young men's. We played a game called Coup with the young men at their house.
Wednesday- we had 4 lessons set up today so that was exciting, but then 3 out of 4 fell through. The one lesson we had was with Hayley and it went well so it was successful day. We did some finding in Stephenville. Stephenville is just a weird place I don't know how to explain it, it's just weird. We drove back and had dinner then had branch council that night and talked about Light The World.
Thursday- Happy Thanksgiving! We did some snow shoveling in the morning we had around 1 foot of snow. For lunch we had turkey sandwiches in honor of Thanksgiving. Then we went and helped with the bean bag toss at the senior center. It was an all time classic! Nelly is usually the winner for bean bag toss but today was different. Underdog Tursh jumped out to a big lead at the start, but then Nelly came roaring back with a couple 500 point throws! The crowd was going crazy! It came down to the last round and Tursh came up with a clutch 100 point throw and edged out a 25 point win. He took home the toothpaste this week. Exciting times at the Mountain View Retirement Center! When we got home the power was out so we did comp study and had dinner in the dark. We played orange juice pong and then later that night we had a lesson with Brianna. We are working on some things with her but she is doing great!
Friday- we did lots of planning today. There wasn't very much going on. Elder Call is the driver now and is still getting used to driving in the snow so driving is an adventure!
Saturday- we spent awhile making a Light The World float for the Corner Brook parade with a couple members. The Sheppards fed us all lunch and we had caribou soup. I was expecting it to be really weird but it wasn't bad. That night we went to president Sansome's house. We talked and he gave us some Cod fish soup and canned chicken sandwiches. It was an interesting food day!
Sunday- Sunday was great! We had our usual schedule of church, lunch with the Butts, senior center singing and zooming with the Whites but this time we also gave brother Hicks a blessing. He's a member of the branch and is really old and sick. His son was visiting so he asked us to come helped give a blessing. That night we were visiting people and met a really cool guy. We talked for like 30 minutes and he was interested and we gave him a Book of Mormon.
Monday- it was a really good day! We didn't do anything really special but it was just a great day! In the morning we had call ins and then I worked on a training I'm giving. Later we had a district comp study where we got to meet the new district. Both other companionships in our district got whitewashed which means both companions are new to the area. It was fun to meet them and talk for a bit. Later we went knocking and had FHE that night. For FHE we got some things ready to pass out during the parade.
Transfer #3 is off and running, it should be a good one! Make sure all of you do Light The World this year. It's gonna be sick! Find a way to serve and do it! Hope you all have a great week!
Love you all!
