I GOT THE PACKAGE and lets just say,
I experienced heaven while eating symphony bars on a ferry this week.
yeah how cool is that we took a ferry. that is pretty neat. actually the
reason we had to take the ferry is because our branch president invited
us to eat canadian thanksgiving dinner at his house. the problem is
that he lives on the south shore and the bridge is pretty far away so we
agreed to take to ferry which is closer to his house. Then he picked us
up from where the ferry dropped us off. That was special.
this
week we did a ton of service. seriously it was crazy. so this family
asked us to come and help rake the leaves. I am down with raking leaves
but then as we got there they said there are a few things we have to
take up from the basement. so that was fine you know we are strong young
pups. we got most everything but then there was a huge piece of plywood
and on the other side was tile, for a bathroom i think. this thing must
have weighed like 240 lbs. there was no way that elder draper and i
could get this thing by ourselves so the member handed us a sledge
hammer and said go to work. So i grabbed that sucker and said, MERICA
and hit that thing until all the tile was in tiny pieces on the ground.
It was really fun but i was dead after that, and that was all before
even racking one leaf. So then we spent a good 3 hours getting all the
leaves from off of the ground. Boy did it take a while, my back was on
fire, still kind of is, i have not fully recovered from the pain of
service. But i felt good inside... kind of haha. i actually was having a
small asthma attack while trying to be a hero and smash the tile board,
I felt like an old man. But dont fret because being the eagle scout
that i am i had my fast acting inhailer strapped to my belt. ok maybe it
was not on my belt but it was close. So i am fine, and alive and sore.
we
had some great lessons this week. we taught a family from nepal. it is
pretty tough because they dont speak french or english too well so we
are trying our best. We also got to see clarence our investigator. he
is doing well. we had a killer lesson with him. we told him strait up
that he has to pray and ask God. and he came to church!! that was great
to see.
we had a fun week. thank you so much
