TRANSFER WEEK!

Hello everyone! This week has been really exciting and some new changes.. A new companion!


Tuesday: For our P-Day we drove into Raymond to meet up with the Elders and Sisters that are there. We played a lot of games and such until the Elders had to leave, which meant that we had to leave. After that we went to Mom and Dad's house (The Wolvers) to return their games. They are really awesome people and really take care of us missionaries! Then we had transfer calls.. I knew Elder Walker was leaving but he was my trainer so it was hard to hear him get assigned a different companion! I got Elder Lee though and he seems pretty cool!

Wednesday: It was bye bye day/packing for Elder Walker so we went around and he said bye to all the families that he had come to love. We went to Mom and Dads and they loaded him up with his famous chocolate chip cookies! It's gonna be hard to leave this area when my time comes.. So many great people here who love the missionaries and we love them too!


Thursday: Transfer day! We went up to Lethbridge at 12 so we could get our new companions. My companion Elder Lee served up in the north of Calgary so I had to wait for him and then Elder Walker was going up to the North of the Mission so that's pretty exciting! Elder Lee is super awesome and he's from Thatcher Arizona! He's always cold so we fit together! Except it's been like 9° and I'm shedding my coat.. I'm becoming Canadian! For the rest of the day we just got the new elder settled in! Also had dinner at Mom and Dad's so they could meet the new elder.

Friday: Played the usual bingo and bowling and pool at the Senior home in Magrath! Then we went to Sister Bartons for sign language class, and I really enjoyed it! I didn't really catch on before but now that I don't have the stress of training, I can actually learn things! Then we had dinner at the Bartons. Also went to our 9 year old investigators house to get a baptismal date and we are shooting for the end of the month! Woo Woo!!


Saturday: we went to a baptism for a 8 year old girl who we did the lessons with and it was super good! You could feel the spirit so strong. Then for the rest of the day we went around and set up appointments for this next week! We can get so much done on Saturdays because everyone's home! Plus it was 17° Celsius which is the warmest it's been since I got to Canada and my body loved it!

Sunday: we decided that we were going to go to Spring Coulee for church because I hadn't been out there. It was on of the smallest chapels I have ever seen! Then we went to Winona Bartons homecoming after party at her house and it was good as always! Then we went back to more church in Magrath and then had dinner in Spring Coulee. After that we went to mission prep, there were 17 people there! This area is so awesome when it comes to missionary work!

Monday: We had DTM in Raymond per usual and then headed into Lethbridge because we got a nasty rock chip in our window that was aiming straight for my forehead!! Then we came back and watched technology training videos and then had a lesson with some members and dinner with one of our ward mission leaders! All in all it was a pretty good day (minus the snow in the morning).

Anyway that was my week! I hope your guy's week has been as awesome! Love you all and hope you all are doing great!

Love,

Elder Seanzee
