April 13 Transfers

  • Well everyone, it's that lovely time of transfers again and there will be changes.  Sister H is leaving and going to the Montreal East Branch/working in the office.  I will be staying and training.  Yep that's right.  I'm getting a brand new missionary.  I won't know who it is until tomorrow at transfers. 
This week we were able to see Darlene again. We finished teaching about the Restoration. We invited them to be baptized. Terri and Janice said yes. That's exciting! :)

We were also able to see Rob again. Sister H even helped catch a fish while we were there. Rob said he would enjoy us coming back. Next time he would take us out for ice cream. 

My last adventure I would like to write about happened on Saturday. I feel like I lived 3 days in 1 and that it happened last week. So Friday night at 2 am we get a call from the zone leaders saying they need the address of the Kirkland sisters. There is another set of Sisters on the road and they got permission from Pres. Patrick to stay there since they were still a couple of hours from their area. We give them the address and go back to sleep. 4 am we get another call from the Laval Sisters (the one's trying to get to Kirkland) saying they were lost but knew they were in our area. They needed us to come and pick them up. Their car was practically out of gas. So we get up and go and rescue them. We got home and made them some beds and we go to sleep. Morning comes and we take them back to their car and then take them to a gas station. Then we start to take them to the freeway (they were following us in our car). We remember that the exit they need to take is closed due to construction. We call them and tell them we are taking them another way. We get them on the Freeway and we take an exit to get off. They did eventually make it home. 

Meanwhile we are driving through Upper Lachine and we put home into our GPS. So we start to go and come to a road block. No problem the GPS calculates a new address and we go. Well we are stopped at another road block. Both had been due to construction. We put in another route and we come across another road block due to some accident. But eventually we make it home and it's only 9 in the morning and we decide to take a nap.

Later that day we were helping at the Bishop's daughter's wedding reception. It started at 3 and I have no idea how long it went but we left around 7 and it was still going. We helped in the kitchen and took food to and from the tables of food. 

Then we decide to contact a referral that we had received since we had a few hours before we needed to be home. So we're driving along and we come across another road block. The road we were suppose to turn onto doesn't exist. It's a bridge over a river and the middle section was missing. So we put in a new route and go. It is a very long detour but we make it and contact our referral. So the time comes to go home. As we're driving we come across our final road block for the day, it being number 6. So we put in another route and head for home. This route was the longest detour and instead of the normal 20-30 minute drive it took us like and hour and 15 minutes. Needless to say it was a long drive and long day!

I hope you all have a great week and don't run into any road blocks. 
Love you all!
Sister Gardner
