Hello Family,

This week was pretty hard on me emotionally.  We are pretty isolated here, which is so incredibly tough. We have two in person district meetings a whole transfer and that's cause we are so far apart. Our area is bigger than all my friends MISSIONS (not combined) its freaking crazy! and we have the same amount of missionaries. Its really discouraging listening to all the things my friends get to do and the places and the scenery and the cool places they get to go on P-DAY. We have nothing here. General Conference was good, I really enjoyed Elder Hollands talk on the choir of god and how we are all unique and special and the loss of even one voice affects the choir. This is true! My favorite quote was “God hears the songs we cannot sing" that is one I really like because I have a hard time expressing my feelings and my struggles so its comforting to know that someone listens.

Nothing cool happened this week. It's hard, i'm trying to adjust to the area but I feel like I should be doing so much better, according to preach my gospel we are doing OK. I don't want to lower expectations but things just don't happen here. All I want to do is be successful.  I don't think you guys really know how lucky you are to live where you are. It is literally the most perfect in probably most of Canada. The amount of church and members and support is crazy, like honestly Lethbridge is the prime location, you don't realize how lucky you are till you drive 4 hours east to Swift Current and there is 30 members, and people are just struggling in life,  it boggles my mind.

Anyways, Im trying to stay more positive and be happier cause this has been a really, really hard 3 months, lots of disappointments, very few good things so far.  Ok, I better answer your questions:

1. What did you like about conference? 

2. How did it go with the online referrals you drove to?

3. Find anything interesting this week at Salvation Army?

4. Because I am in dentist mode this week-- Are you taking care of your teeth and flossing? 

5. Are you getting enough sleep now? 

6. How is your exercise going?  what are you doing?

7. Have you had to talk in church in Melfort?

8. Who is the bishop? What is he like? 

1. I talked about it up top

Just keep on living. Hope you guys are having a great time-- love you all.

Elder Sheen
