Hey Everyone,

Flin  Flon is the greatest place in the world. I love it here so freakin much!! It’s away from everyone and all the mission drama. No sisters up here haha we have a blast and we work hard. We even got to go to a Flin Flon bombers game with some investigators and kids. It was so much fun. In Flin Flon all the kids here just run around wild and they all know us so when we walk down the street we end up walking with a bunch of kids surrounding us. It’s really cool, and since everyone is related we just end up teaching everyones family. It’s great.

So the bus ride up here was so ridiculous. Our bus left at 8 pm and we got there at about 745, and had to get our bags checked. So they ended up being too heavy so we had to go down and ship them by freight. so that happened. We sent the Elders who dropped Elder Glissmeyer and I off to send our bags off. So we went through security and were sitting on the bus. We felt like we should just go and check to see if our bags were good to go, so we went with a security guard and the other elders had our bags on a rack to send to Vancouver B.C. so they almost got shipped a few provinces over. so that stunk. We barely got them on the bus, and we delayed the bus like 20 minutes. Anyways, the bus driver played mail man all night dropping mail and packages off in every podunk town along the way, so what was supposed to be a 12 hour bus ride turned into a 15 and a half hour bus ride. It was fun though. Very beautiful when the sun came up.

So it is already snowing up here. its -4 and snow is on the ground. We're going fishing today so that should be super fun. 

I loved conference. I loved all the talks that just talked about straight simple doctrine, especially the ones about Jesus Christ. We had 4 investigators at sacrament and it was great. What a good experience. 

So I’m in another walking area. It’s all good, I love being out in the community. ugh I’m going to get so fat eating all this bannock (fry bread). Anyways I love you all!
