This week we had Zone Conference, so we spent a couple days in St John's on the other side of the island. It was a really fun couple days and that was probably the highlight of the week!
Tuesday- we relaxed in the morning and then I got up and worked out. We cleaned a little bit and then went to the store. After that we emailed and then had dinner with the Shenfields. For young men's we were supposed to do something called rainbow loom but the Butts forgot to bring it, so we played Kahoot.
Wednesday- Halloween! In the morning we went knocking and we went 45 minutes before the first person answered! After that we had lunch and then comp study. We were supposed to teach our friend Brianna but she canceled. We walked around and knocked on some doors. At 5:00 we had a ZLC meeting over zoom about Light the World. After that we had to be in our apartment because of Halloween so we made some good Alfredo and studied and ate candy.
Thursday- in the morning we went over and had a lesson with Hayley. She is doing the Book of Mormon challenge to read by the end of the year so we talked about what she has read so far. We also read 2 Nephi 31 with her. It's a really good chapter! Later that day we did service at the senior center. It was a lady's 90th birthday so she had a party with bingo and cupcakes. We helped make sure they could hear the spaces being called and then handed out cupcakes. We also did weekly planning since we were leaving on Friday.
Friday- we got up at 5:00 and drove an hour to the Deer Lake airport. From there we got on a plane and flew to St John's for zone conference. The plane was so small it was crazy! There were only 18 seats total, no flight attendant, the entire plane was about 5 feet wide and 6 feet tall. We landed in St John's and Elder Schow, one of the senior missionaries there picked us up. We took the long way home and got to go to Signal Hill, and the furthest east point in North America. We then had to run some errands with Elder Schow and then he took us to lunch. After that we met up with the St John's elders and set up the church for zone conference. Then we had comp study and went to the Schow's house for dinner. After dinner I went with one of the St John's elders, Elder Musgrave and we taught a lesson. After the lesson we met up with the other two and all four of us went and visited a recent convert named Moses. He is from Nigeria and has an amazing life story! He's trying to save money to get his wife and son over here. I learned so much from him, he's amazing! Later that night the APs got to the St John's apartment, so we stayed up and talked for awhile. It was a fun day!
Saturday- on Saturday we had zone conference. The conference was great and we also had some good food. After the conference we got flu shots and then went back to the apartment and had dinner. It was Elder Call and I, the St John's elders and the APs all there so we did a three way exchange. We went and helped some people move for a little bit and then went knocking. After that we went home and hung out and then went to sleep.
Sunday- we had to wake up at 4:30 and went straight to the airport. The weather and winds were crazy! It was another tiny plane so we got tossed around by the wind. When we were trying to land they said they would try once and if they weren't able to land we would have to fly to Gander which is 3 hours away. The plane was out of control. It was like on The Bee Movie. We were able to land on the first try! Elder Shenfield picked us up from the airport and we went to church. Later that day we went knocking and then taught our friend Brianna. There was another guy there we invited to join the lesson and he just wanted to argue, so that was frustrating but it was still good to teach.
Monday- on Monday we did call ins and then lots of knocking. That night we had dinner with Gillian one of the members and then taught her at the church. After that we had FHE and played scategories.
It was super fun to fly to St John's this week and spend some time there for zone conference! We were pretty busy so it was a fast Week! We get to fly to Halifax this week so it should be another fun Week! See ya next Week! Love you all!
