05/29/2018 - Just Evidence That the Lord is Looking Out For His Servants

Hello Everyone. 

So THIS WAS A WILD WEEK. Just going to start with that one. So Tuesday we had a great lesson with a less active sister in our ward. Her daughter is not a member yet. So we were teaching her. It was a super good lesson. Then we find out that I taught her sister in Cardston. So small world. Kinda cool little thing that happened. 

Then we got transfer calls. And much to the surprise of us, Elder Sagapolu got transferred down to Lethbridge and I got Elder Johnson from Lethbridge (who is actually from Cedar City, Utah), they did a switch. And I really excited to serve with him! So Wednesday we were biking and had a good day and then transfers Thursday. Transfers are weird here because up in the North everyone meets who is getting transferred in the morning. Then the two vans drive everyone who is going south down to Lethbridge where all the south meets and do transfers, and the missionaries going north get back into the vans and come back up north to meet all the missionaries and their new companions from those coming from the south. My comp was coming from the south. Anyway, weird day because they just put me with another Elder who was waiting for his comp too and we went and did a little work in his area while we waited. Kinda strange day. 

Well we make it back to transfers and one van arrives but the other is late. Well we keep waiting, and waiting. Turns out the transfer van carrying 6 missionaries (including my comp) wrecked, it got blown off the road and rolled 3 times. So we were just waiting for our companions. It was a wild day. Just evidence that the Lord is looking out for his servants, none of them were seriously hurt, the worst was the driver who got a cut on his head and that is it. And crazy thing too, two of the missionaries' seat belts came off when they rolled but they were totally unharmed. But after a long wait 3 elders made it up and 3 went to the hospital and all were released that evening. So we finally got together as a companionship and had to cancel our appointments because President wanted us to go to the doctor to get checked out. So that was the big news. 

The rest of the week went better. We were out searching for people and in member's homes searching for people to teach. We almost picked up a new investigator, we tracted into this lady that seemed interested, and got an appointment for yesterday. But she wasn't home when we got there. We will try again, but it was cool, they had a lambo and a Mazzarati chillin' in the drive way. But that's a wrap of the wild week. Love you all.
