This week has been one of the craziest weeks of my mission life so far! We got transfer calls on Monday at a members house at about 7:15 and they told me i was going to go to Maple Ridge and would be training! Crazy! Then i was packing and trying to go visit as many members as possible on Tuesday before i left for my flight on Wednesday. Wednesday comes around and my companions new companion is flying in right before i leave on my flight so i get to meet her. On the way to the airport we were all crying and remembering our crazy times and then we get to the airport and no one is flying out due to a navigation error that they have to fix. But there were still some coming in so we had to wait at the airport until one and we got there at like 9 so we were there forever just waiting. Right before they came the AP's called me and told me that my trainee wasn't coming anymore so they are sending me to Vancouver North to co-train and white wash! Crazy! Then we drove home with Sister Goldthorpes new companion, Sister Jenson. They booked me another flight for the next day except when we woke up it was a blizzard outside! It was snowing like crazy and it was -13 outside too! So we tried again around 11 and this time i got through security and the Sisters left me. Me and another Elder who came out at the same time were waiting and they said our plane was going to be delayed because it missed the portal and was going to try again! 20 minutes later they said it tried 3 more times but because of the blizzard couldn't land and ended up going back to Vancouver and our flight was cancelled. So they booked us another flight for Friday morning at about 1:40. So i was stuck with 5 elders until the sister got back and then we left. Friday morning we went outside to go tracting before we left for the airport again and it was -18! My hair froze and Sister Jensons glasses were frozen too! Then we said goodbye to a few more people again and i actually left this time! Now i am in Vancouver and instead of having a car i am a transit missionary which means i take the bus and the sky train everywhere! It takes about 30 minutes to get to just church but it has been an adventure in itself since none of us 3 know where we are half the time or what we are doing! Haha! Sadly at some point this past week i did something to my tailbone and went to the doctor today and they said i probably sprained it but i have to get an x-ray soon! On Saturday tried 7 different walk in clinics but none of them were either open or were taking new people so i had to wait until today! Like always, this always happens to me i will without fail always be broken some way or another! So dealing with that, a new area, 2 new companions and training has been quite the adventure! But it has been really good! I am enjoying all our wonderful adventures it makes for fun stories and miracles later on! This just goes to show you that everything happens for a reason and i am suppose to be going through all of this for something and i can't wait to find out that something in the future! I love you all!
Love,
