Wow! So this week has been a bit crazy! Starting off Monday went on this super cool hike around this lake. Basically it’s in our backyard so, that makes it even cooler! Tuesday rolls around and we are headed out to Vanderhoof! We went on exchanges and I was with Elder Belnap! He is such a stud! We knocked doors all day, talked to whoever is on the street, and found some people for them to teach! We also got to split some firewood for someone. It’s kind of funny though. Here we are all bundled up in jackets and scarfs, gloves, etc, you name it, and this guy in short shorts and a t-shirt answers the door. Gotta love your typical Canadian lol.
Wednesday was awesome! Was my first district meeting up here in the north, and it was so spiritual! I loved it! Shortly after we went on exchanges with the zone leaders! AND GUESS WHO MY ZONE LEADER IS!? ELDER ZIELER!! I actually got to see one of my old companions! I went with Elder Ortiz though! He is this crazy Philipino! Made some miracles happen though! We were knocking doors and we got let in on the first door! Kind of crazy! He is so scared of dogs though! There are quite a few native reserves in town and it seems that every native has a dog. We walk down the street and every dog just starts barking like crazy, and they come so close!
So, I finally get to be with my companion and we went to the Southside on Friday! We got members to drive us everywhere and we got to do quite a bit of service! It was gorgeous heading out there though! Rolling hill after rolling hill! And there are just a ton of lakes in between! Loved it out there! We helped the Williams move the wood stove which weighs like a ton. After that we helped our ward mission leader on his farm! That was cool! We helped him get some posts in the ground! He had this crane that he was renting and he rigged it up with what the road workers use to flatten the ground! He then welded a pipe onto it so it held the post in place, and next thing you know, the ground is shaking within a 5 foot radius.
Sunday was awesome! We got to meet with this guy named Wilfred. He is pretty cool. Was a little tired though so we will be seeing him some other time. We were so hungry though. It was fast Sunday and I was just dying. We had french toast though and IT WAS SO GOOD! Never had a better meal!
The week has been great though! Sure love ya!
Love
Elder McCown
