Ryan's latest...I keep having dreams that I run into him in malls. Weird cause niether one of us are big "mall people"
So I'm getting transfered to a remote area in southern alberta to teachthe nomadic people in this frozen wasteland. the nearest branch is 3 1/2hours away, we live in an igloo, hunt and fish for our own food, anyhuman activity is very rare but polar bear sightings are common...I'llsend some pictures. just kidding...
Elder Barton is staying in Brooks!!!! I couldn't be more happy. I'mgetting a new semi-green elder from north carolina, Elder Whitt...0 utahcomps for me so far...
I feel like my full potential has not been reached thus far in Brooks,and the hardest part is I feel my companions weren't the biggest help,but from what I hear of elder whitt we should get a lot done! plus Ithink he's gotta be a baller if he from NC so we'll see what we can doon the playground (gym) against some africans.
other than that, we had a pretty good week, there is a french sundayschool class now and we're trying to stock it full of west africans. Idon't know if I told you about Rosette, but she loves us and came thissunday, only problem is she's really quiet and can't read any language,not sure how great her french is, she prefers swahili or ingala I thinkand there's only one member who speaks those and he's super busy runninghis own company.
sunday night we had an african fiesta, we got fed some type of spicychicken, beef and veggies, corn with eggs, rice (a staple in everyculture I've decided) uhh...some really awesome deep fried, almost donuthole but not quite really good things. we had a few investigators thereand some how everyone found out about this god given talent Ihave-dancing.
dancing is probably my greatest strength at this point.
can't believe matt neeves is home.
I've been beefing up my studies lately.
awkward moments for the week...1. this lady started breast feeding her child mid-lesson2. being stuck in a tiny room with an ex-hutterite who wants to kill usand his less active girlfriend.3.just being a missionary everyday
spiritual moments...1.realizing I just can't do this without the Lord.2. bearing my testimony every hour3.keeping it fresh
curling went well last week.
that's pretty much all I have.
love you babies.
