WInnipeg District

Winnipeg District June 2017- President & Sister Craig


To answer Brian's questions:   No I do not walk alot, probably should though.  I haven't had to eat anything nasty in a while, so that has been nice.  Yes I see Elder Black quite a bit, probably once a day or so, he lives in the same building as I do.  There are more people here in the ward then in Melfort for sure.  No we don't get to play sports much right now.  My new companion is a great guy! I actually haven't eaten much mac & cheese in a while so no I am not sick of it yet and sorry, NO we don't Dab, lol.

Arrived in Winnipeg

Hello Family,


Nothing really crazy happened this entire week, I have been moved into Winnipeg, the most strangely designed city I've ever seen in my life, it was like they let kids draw lines on a giant piece of paper and then they build the roads according to the lines. The streets all have names not numbers so it makes it super hard to find where you are trying to go.
The drive to Winnipeg was pretty long and super flat, there really is not much scenery to look at. Our apartment is pretty nice and has lots of room in it. My new companion Elder Gregson, is cousins with the other Gregson, he is cool. He went home from his mission for a while, but he came back out for the last 8 months and is now serving with me. He is the district leader and we have 4 sisters and the assistants in our district.  There are like 60 people in the ward, we have a huge building but like no members to fill it, its honestly bigger than our stake center probably.

Bye for now. 
Elder Sheen

Transfer time

May 29, 2017

So, today I found out that I'm being moved to Winnipeg, just in time for the heat! haha. I will be pretty close to Elder Black and the Spanish district, and we will be able to go on exchanges every so often. I will be in a ward. I don't know how many people but it is a ward so they might have a gym. It is supposed to be pretty humid and warm in Winnipeg, that's gonna be rough, especially cause we cant go swimming or anything!

This week was not too crazy. We had a couple lessons throughout the week with our less active and on Sunday he passed the sacrament! Me and our new priest blessed the sacrament and we had a good lesson with him in gospel principles and we taught him about agency and a couple Christ-like attributes. That was good for him as he has been struggling hard with a lot of things and being patient with others.

We had a lot of service this week and we had a lot to do at the salvation army. I found one of my childhood dream toys, a Darth maul light saber, you know the one with light saber on both sides, I really wanted it, haha, but couldn't have it-- and now that i'm going to Winnipeg I will never see it... haha. that day was pretty hectic.

On Wednesday, I got to go on exchanges with Elder Bateman, we played some basketball and then we had a lesson with our less active . We stayed the night in Prince Albert.

Thursday, we had interviews, and then after that we came back to Melfort and we were supposed to haul bags of recycled bags into a semi, but we were too late and so the staff did it all by themselves. We had family history that  night and even had some non members show up to it which was nice, at least I think they were non members.

Friday was pretty fun, we had a young men's activity where we had a hot dog roast over a bonfire, three of them actually, we had a lot of fires going and I thought they were going to go out of control.

Not much happened on Saturday. Sunday was an average day, a member from the branch was in the hospital so we went and visited her and gave her a blessing. We also brought dinner to the family that night and visited with the boys and shared some funny scriptures from proverbs like proverbs 23: 13-14. "beat your kids" haha

thats the week in a wrap
