Service, Exchanges and lots of snow!!

It's been a busy couple weeks for us here! Another transfer over and we should get the news about where we are going really soon! I officially hit 6 months last week so that is pretty crazy! Here's the week


Tuesday- in the morning Brother Sheppard took us to the dump and we got rid of my old desk and all our pizza boxes. Later, we played star wars monopoly at the church with Gillian. It was my first time playing monopoly in a long time, so I was pretty rusty. It was rough haha. We had dinner with the Sheppards and then had young mens, where we did Duty to God and then kahoot. After young men's we visited a guy named Bill and talked to him for awhile. 


Wednesday- we got up and drove all morning to Gander where we had district meeting. After the meeting we had exchanges. Elder Mcarthur and I went knocking and then went and kept score at special Olympics bowling. Bowling is weird in Canada! There's only 5 pins and each one is worth different points. It was an awesome time though. They all had so much fun! 


Thursday- Elder Groneman and I went knocking in the morning and had a fun time. The highlight was talking to this guy who does not believe in God. He was super funny, but most of the things he said I can't repeat haha! After we got back to the apartment we had lunch and then drove back to Corner Brook. We had dinner with the Butts and then tried to stop by our apartment before we went out for the rest of the night. Elder Call shook the key a little too hard on the door and the key snapped. It was funny, but then we had to go steal the spare from the senior couple apartment. 


Friday- we did weekly planning and then comp study and then did some service for Harold and Stephanie. They fed us pizza for dinner to celebrate 6 months for me! Later we went to a lesson but the Curnew family forgot about it so we rescheduled.


Saturday- we did some comp study and digital finding in the morning and then visited the Curnews after lunch. Then we drove to the airport in a snow squall storm and picked up President Smith in the mission presidency. We did a visit with him and then took him to his hotel. We went to Isaac's birthday party and had some cake and hot dogs. While we were there we met Harold and Stephanie's neighbor Denessa and talked to her a little bit. After that we went knocking and then had a lesson with Gillian.


Sunday- we went and picked President Smith up and went to church. Harold and Stephanie came and Denessa did too! When we asked her what she thought of church she said she never wanted to leave she loved it! After church we had a potluck and then we drove Pres Smith to the airport in a snow squall storm. The visibility got so bad they had to close the highway. It was crazy! When we got back to Corner Brook we had comp study and then shoveled for Hayley and taught her and then went to ask Gillian if she could come to a lesson with us. On the way there we saw a lady shoveling so we stopped and asked to help. We shoveled for her and then she had us in and gave us some cake. We talked to her and her husband for awhile and by the time we left it was time for our lesson with Harold and Stephanie and Denessa so we went straight there and had a lesson with them to end the night.


Monday- we had call ins and then walked to our service at the open door. When we got there we found out it was cancelled because of the weather so we shoveled and then went and had lunch and comp study. After that we spent the afternoon shoveling and then had FHE that night. All the people we are teaching came and we played a game of jeopardy (church/ Corner Brook Trivia edition) that Hayley made. It was a great activity! 


Hope you all have a great week! Talk to you later! 


Love,


Elder Tait
