Missing Car Keys & other exciting Adventures...
Hey everyone! It was transfer week and it was definitely one to remember! I got my new companion, Elder Taylor, from Twin Falls Idaho. He's a really charitable missionary and I'm excited to work with him this transfer! I got to take all the elders around to the bus and airport and get them all sent off. We got everyone back to our apartment and sent them off. One companionship stayed behind and asked us if we had their keys. We told them no and then they and us started to get worried. We looked around everywhere in the apartment and the parking lot and couldn't find them. Eventually we found out the Elder from that area who got transferred to Montreal accidentally took the car keys with him. We made some calls and the spare key got shipped to us for the next morning. Thursday night we did our best to have all 4 of us doing good work, but it was kind of interesting, because I was the only one who knew the area, so no matter what we did there was one companionship that had no idea about anything in the area. The Miramichi elders ended up sleeping over with us that night and then the next morning the package with the spare key showed up. We were excited we could get the elders sent off. We opened the box and gave them their key, they hit the lock button to see if it worked and we heard the horn, so we were relieved. It sounded oddly close so we went to the window and tried again. That's went the realization came that it was the wrong key. They had sent us the spare key for the Moncton car instead of the Miramichi car haha! Many phone calls later we came up with a plan to have the Miramichi elders take our car to Halifax, pick up their key and drive back. Meanwhile, Elder Taylor and I fixed up some old bikes and rode around on them for the day. Respect to all the missionaries who only have bikes! Eventually the Miramichi elders got their key and got back to their area so that was really good. On Sunday we had a class from a local Baptist University come visit church. After sacrament meeting we had a Q and A with them and it went super well! Yesterday one of the students texted us and told us she wants to learn more! We've been super busy getting everything going for this transfer and it's going to be a very busy one! We're working with a bunch of amazing people and I'm excited to keep helping them! I hope you all have a great week! Love you!
