Hello Lovely Family,

This week has been awesome. It started off with me and Elder Gregson on Monday, we got hit by a huge snow storm/Blizzard is what they called it on the weather station, and we had huge drifts and like 70-90 kph winds come blowing through. We tried to leave but our crappy pile of a car Subaru couldn't get over 6 inch drifts, cant tell you how much I wanted to be driving the jeep right them and just plow through all this snow. We ended up getting stuck in Estevan till Wednesday night. We had stayed overnight at a members home because we could not get to our apartment. We had to hang around and do nothing most of the time because of the blizzard. It cleared up Tuesday night/Wednesday morning, and the road crews were out at 8:00 AM to clear out people and it took till about 1:00 PM to get everyone out. Super fun I thought but Gregson had forgotten his gloves and his winter jacket isn't the best so he almost died, haha. Mine however was like fire and I barely felt anything. We made it to Weyburn and I packed up said goodbye and we were off to Regina. I had purchased a lot of food earlier and so I had to take that with me when I transferred so now I have a ton of food and only bought eggs milk and a few other things today. i got to go on exchanges with Elder Burnett on Thursday and we had a blast. Him and I are bros from the MTC, we got to spend the entire day together in Regina which was freaking sweet. The next morning around 8:00 Am on Friday morning I hopped in a truck and off to Saskatoon I went, hooked up with Elder Romeril, and we went out to Melfort, which is about two hours away from Saskatoon, we arrived and unpacked and got to work. So I have only been in Melfort for a couple days now. 

Elder Romeril is the district leader out here so that's super awesome. I’ve been involved in leadership my whole mission so far. We have a couple of investigators and one is super good and he should be baptized. I am excited for that because I didn't get to see my other investigators get baptized. We have been fed by a couple members already and I met Brayden Gunneses Grandma!! its his dads mom, they are super nice.  I played club basketball with Brayden.  Its awesome to be able to talk with Elder Romeril about stuff that he and I both understand, like basketball and other things. He has 5 months left but still trucking hard. 

Its super nice to have one apartment and not be travelling around all the time, makes it feel more like a home rather than a apartment. I have a bunch of food, so im good and I got my Dr. Pepper!! Yee yee!

Could you guys send me the photos off my phone email and mail some physical copies to me as well. I got you valentines package and it was nice, already ate the hearts. Life is good, still not home and I've only been here a few days but life is good. I’ve got a new planner and I've started pimping the covers with cool landscape photos and stuff, its nice here. We have zone conference this Thursday and we have Elders like a hour away so we can have in person district meeting more frequently.

Sorry for another short letter I will try harder this week to actually do something noteworthy

Question's

Is there anything you would like us to send you? maybe a new tie?
How is your new companion and area?
Is it a branch?
Have you been fed this week?
Do you have a car in your new area?
