Transfer week

I know that in the past I’ve said that weeks have been crazy but this week was actually CRAZY! This email is just going to be all over the place haha so be prepared.

So Monday night president Pratt showed us the transfer table, sister claus and I are still serving together in Dartmouth :) Tuesday from 10am to 8pm we were in the basement of the mission home p, it was a long but fun day haha. We made travel plans for everyone, booked flights, did Skype calls with the new district leaders, then the new ZLs and STLs, and then the missionaries who will be training. On Wednesday... I went to the temple!!! I don’t know if you remember Ederson or not but he is a ysa from St. John’s. He was baptized in Utah a year, he’s originally from Venezuela and he’s going to school at the university in St. John’s right now. And so on Wednesday he came to Halifax to go through the temple for his endowment it was so awesome, President Pratt let so many missionaries who had served in St. John’s come to the temple to be there with him. 

The new missionaries had a fun time getting here haha. They were suppose to get here Tuesday night but their flight to Halifax got cancelled because of the snow and so instead they flew to Montreal and spent the night in a hotel. So they got here at noon on Wednesday but that’s when we were going to the temple so we didn’t go to pick them up. With all the flight changes they lost their luggage as well haha poor them. They have there luggage now though and are all set with their companions in their areas. 

Ok so next topic... PEI! So there is a sister (sister Kilmer) and she is the only missionary going home this transfer. So for her last day President Pratt let her choose to do anything she wanted to and that ended up being a road trip to pei! So of course like any good road trip we ran out of gas🏼Hahaha 6km outside of Amherst so the elders from Amherst came and rescued us. The car was completely shut off so to stay warm we did the 7 min workout in the snow. Goooood mission memory. 

Ugh this week was just so funny, the best part is right now we are playing ping pong with Sister Pratt because we are sleeping over at the mission home with sister Kilmer.

Tomorrow we have a bunch of potential lessons that we are so excited for and they are all with moms! So next pday I will let you know how those wentalso I will tell you more about shania, Shen is the Elders investigator but we are working with her too.

Love sister wood
