Hey Everyone!
New address is
475 Lancaster St. W. #18
Kitchener, ON N2H 4V9
Well this week has gone by rather quickly!
Transfers on Tuesday went well. After emailing on Monday we met our district
and went out to lunch. Then packed and then i drove Sis. Wester to Woodstock
(her new area) Her companion just had her appendix out the day before so she
was expecting a pretty slow week. Then I switched companions and brought Sis.
DeRuvo back to Waterloo with me. She's from Italy! She's really cool. Hopefully
we can serve together some day. :) Then Tuesday morning we drove to Brampton.
As we were driving up, I saw Subhash! So i rolled down the window and yelled at
him and he came over. We were able to talk for quite some time. It was really
cool to see him! He's doing really well. Then I waited around for a couple of
hours until Sis. Casner arrived. Then drove back to Kitchener. That night we
had dinner with the Mitchells. We're also skyping at their house on
Christmas. They're from Utah! Bro Mitchell is in the bishopric. Sis
Mitchell's brother married Pres. Scott's daughter. Small world. After dinner,
Bro. Mitchell asked us to speak in sacrament meeting Sunday so we did,
and it went really well. Spoke on charity/service. Perfect! The KW ward is
great. I think we're going to really like it. There are a lot babies...which is
a big change from YSA :) Quite a few families from the states...It's going to be great! Sis. Casner is really sweet and
funny. Everyone likes the fact that we're both from NV. We even sang the state
song when we were at a members house a few days ago. Winning the hearts!
We found a couple of new investigators this
week. Viola was a member referral from someone in Brampton and we've taught her
a couple of times. She's really sweet and hopefully things continue to go well
for her. As well as William, the husband of a part-member family. We're having
FHE with them tonight!
We've met a few families throught dinner appts
this week. One of them is an older couple and they had jars of water all over
their kitchen. When we asked them what that was all about they went on
this long explanation about some Japanese guy who's figured out that after
talking to water or wrapping words around the bottle it's in and
then freezing it that the crystals look different. Then after drinking the
water it directly affects your attitude and stuff. It was quite interesting...i
made the mistake of telling him i drink tap water though. Apparently that's
REALLY bad.
On Saturday we were at the church and someone
was decorating for a wedding. They brought in some flowers and said, "do
any of you know how to arrange flowers?" So i got to do a simple bouquet
for the wedding. It was fun, hadn't done that in a long time!
Remember Sister Ence? The one we met in st.
george before i left? Well she's serving in the Kitchener spanish branch now!
We see each other all the time. Funny, eh? Who knew that after meeting in st.
george a year later we'd both be serving in kitchener/waterloo. Haha i guess
Heavenly Father did!
Something else that is kinda cool is that the
artist Simon Dewey, with all the sweet church painting- his son is in our zone.
I'd been talking to him all the time and had no idea there was a relation until
sis. wester actually told me haha. When he was at the airport leaving to go to
the mtc, his dad was like 'oh by the way i just finished my painting' and he
showed it to him and it was him and Christ in front of the toronto skyline. The
picture is on our cell phone cuz he also served in the kw ward. it's really
neat!
Enough randomness i suppose. our next pday
isn't until After Cmas- next thursday...woof. BUT i'll talk to you on skype
Tuesday! holla! Have a great week! I'm out of memory on my camera card, so i'm
buying a new one today. I'll take more pics this week :)
