Well this week
has been crazy because of the transfer this week. Mostly because we where
scrambling around on Tuesday trying to pack and visit members and investigators
before I left Clearbrook and then we had to travel to the Mission Office to
meet our new companions and we didn't have a map to the mission office and
Elder Boehmer and I had only been there once so we were using our memory and
the spirit to get there on time and we only got lost 3 times but two of them were
in Vancouver so that was an experience and not a very fun one but we finally
made it there a half hour late but we did make it. I finally got to see Elder
Kelly again after 4 months so that was pretty sweet and really fun. I finally
got to meet my new companion Elder Bonfield who is from Ontario Canada so I
still have a Canadian companion so I am still the only American when we go
anywhere.
Anyways, Surrey
is very different from my last two areas in that it is a lot bigger than
Clearbrook and Kamloops and it’s more of a city with a down town so we do a lot
more street contacting especially at a place called Surrey Central where there
are thousands of people walking through because there is a mall, university,
bus loop and a sky train station so there is a lot of people there and it was
really overwhelming the first day we went there but it got better the longer we
stayed there.
On Friday we went on
an exchange with the Assistants, Elder Englestead and Elder Cottingham. I went
with Elder Cottingham and we went to Surrey central for 4 hours just talking to
people and it was crazy and very busy. We met a ton of crazy people and a few
Jehovah Witnesses, which are always fun to talk to.
Sorry I have to go but
our time is cut short because we are emailing on Tuesday so I have to go.
Love
Elder Slack
Saying goodbye

Dear Sister Slack...I've been enjoying reading Elder Slack's adventures! He sounds like he is doing well, working hard and following the Spirit! I'm sorry to pass on sad news but will you let him know that Brother Al Brooks passed away last week...his funeral was on Saturday and it was wonderful. Sister Yaeko Brooks has family with her right now, but she is having a tough time I think. If Elder Slack would keep her in his prayers that would be wonderful...one of his letters mentioned how close they became.... thank you!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh! That is so sad. I will make sure to mention it whenI write him this weekend. He is doing so well and loving what he's doing and that makes it all worth while. Thanks for taking care of him while he was in Kamloops!
