So it's crazy that it's already time for school again. Summers are really
short here! They're only about 2 months. It seems like they just got off of
school, now they're heading back. Poor kids. So count you blessings. I've also
discovered that it usually snows and starts sticking before
Halloween....yeah.
This week went by crazy fast. I'm really trying to think about what was
this week and what wasn't. If that makes any sense at all. It's all a blur. At
the start of this week, we went to Moose Jaw for district meeting. It was really
great. First and only time this transfer that our whole district will be
together for district meeting. Yeah, middle of nowhere district! We went on
exchanges afterwards, and I ate a deep fried banana at lunch...my arteries are
changed forever. I was with our district leader Elder Kuhre while on exchanges.
He's only been out a transfer more than me. He came out with Elder Call, so it
was a ton of fun! I really learned a lot.
On the way back into Weyburn, we traded ties with Nathan in McTaggart. He's
moving to Saskatoon for university. It was great. Nathan is a super strong
member and an even better missionary. It's been fun spending time with
him.
On Thursday, we met with a man named Hedly. He has really been through the
ringer! He's really had a tough time. He's even met with missionaries before,
but he decided to meet with us again cause he just wants answers. We'll be
meeting with him again soon, so it's going to be great seeing the hope start to
come into his and his family's lives.
On Sunday, there was a move-in into our branch. As you can imagine, that is
a very exciting occurrence! His name is Spencer, and he is an RM. He served in
Colorado, and even served close to the Hansen's. He is actually only up because
it is his off track at BYU-I. He will be working to save up some money He's a
super funny guy, and he actually spent most of the day with us on Sunday. He did
mostly less-active work on his mission, so he was helping us contact some
members. It was fun being able to talk about Idaho with someone. Ha ha...he asked
me what the name of the city just outside of Pocatello was.."you know the one
that starts with a 'C'?" I couldn't remember! Then it hit me...Chubbuck! Elder
French just started laughing. "How'd you forget a name like that?" It was
fun.
In other news, we found George.. sort of. He dropped off the face of the
earth for a while. Turns out he moved out of the home he was at, so it makes
sense that he was never home. But we tried calling his new number, and we
haven't gotten a hold of him yet. But soon he will be completely
found!...again.
This week looks pretty good. Except that transfer calls are this week.
Hopefully there won't be any crazy changes. I really like Weyburn.
Well, I sure love you all and appreciate all that you do for me! I sent off
some letters yesterday. It should be about a week and a half. If it comes
sooner let me know... cause I put this airmail sticker on it. Apparently that
makes it go faster...we'll see. Get well soon, and have a great week!
Love,
Elder C. Lyons
