This week we had the food and bottle drive and it was alright. We had 22 missionaries that came from our zone to help with it and they were staying with random people throughout the community and we call it billets. So these people stayed with billets and we were supposed to as well but one of the sisters billets didn't show so they took ours and we stayed at our apartment. We then proceeded to continue the bottle drive on Saturday which me and Elder Romeril and the zone leaders had the biggest areas to do and it took us from 9:30 am to 4:00 pm of walking door to door and collecting bottles. We got a fair amount of food and bottles and a good amount of cash donations apparently, i don't know the exact amount of money that we got but anyways it was a good amount of donations we received. Elder Romeril interviewed the elders to see if we had anyone interested or if anyone wanted to know more about anything and we didn't have anything so that sucked.
We had our only investigator drop us this week, they seemed pretty good to start off but she fell away.Her name is Carmen she has lunched us a couple of times so I don't think she really wants to hear anything more about us but she likes that we are interested in saving her soul.
I didn't do much this week, Elder Romeril was busy leading the bottle drive and such but I wasn't able to do much so I did a lot of cleaning and carrying the food from the kitchen to the dining area but the sight and sound rule makes stuff super hard out here. We had transfers today, me and Elder Romeril are staying together, Elder Howes and Elder Low are the companionship in Prince Albert and Elder Howe's is going to Kindersly district. They have a baptism that they got for this Saturday so that stinks for Elder Howes, but Elder low is at 18 months and has not had a baptism yet so President kept him there for that, so that is good for him. Elder Howe's has more time left so he got shipped out of there. I also got to have my interview with president and it went well. I made sure to offer suggestion's and to not complain. What really bothers me is that everyone says that you have to figure these things out for yourself, just imagine how progressed the work would be if missionaries shared the tools and techniques they use and used and they were specific with it too. i don't know why everything is so secretive, like just share what works!
