So not a lot happened this week. We had about 0 time but we squeezed some stuff in.
Monday night we visited Roger. We read the Book of Mormon and he really likes it so far. He said he is going to pray about the Book of Mormon. He really liked the first chapter and how it mentions stuff that happened in the Bible. I really like Roger. He is a honest, sweet guy. He likes to hunt and is going to read the Book of Mormon while he hunts.

Tuesday. We did service on Sister Matte's farm. We fixed a fence and moved a bunch of old tin/wood. For the young men's activity we cut/chopped/moved/stacked a ton of wood. We got it all done, finally. I was chopping the whole time and by the time I got done my hands were shaking a bit.
Wednesday. In the morning we did service for a member. They own a small farm and had us clean a barn out that was full of manure. It really sucked and smelled horrible, hahah. At night we swung by Earl & Terri, the less active part-member family. We watched the restoration video with them and she liked it. She definitely wants to know which church is true. We don't think she really knows how to find that out yet so that is something we are going to have to work on with her.
Thursday. We packed/studied in the morning and we had a spare 20 minutes to go contacting so we went out and talked to a bunch of interesting people. We met one guy who got dumped by a Mormon when she moved to Cali, one crazy guy that said he was Donald Trump's son and that Canada was ran by dope, and a Pentecostal lady that grabbed Elder Johnson's hand when she was talking to him. Hahaha it was quite the 20 minutes. After that we had to drive to Orillia. Which is 7 hours away. So we made that journey and we were staying with the missionaries there because Zone Conference was the next day in Barrie. Elder Coffey was there. I haven't seen him in a really long time. It was fun to catch up with him.
Friday was Zone Conference. It was really good. We talked about being more obedient to the morning schedule and being energetic about it. At the end they talked about the Gospel of Jesus Christ and repentance. It was a spirit filled conference, it was great. I got to see a lot of missionaries. After that we had to drive to Sudbury which is 4 hours and stay the night there, because Stake Conference was the next day.
Saturday we were staying in Sudbury all day, had interviews and went to a Baptism that the Sudbury Elders were having. The night session for Stake Conference was really good. The main theme was charity and having that pure love of Christ for everyone.
Sunday we participated in the choir for the Sunday session for conference. It was fun. The conference was really good. The Sheilds' spoke and the theme was light. Funny enough the Stake Presidency did not give a topic but everyone chose to speak about the same thing, the inner light of Christ. Pretty awesome. We drove back to Timmins after that and on the way we stopped at Roger's house. We read the Book of Mormon and talked about the restoration a bit. He said he would pray and read. He is pretty busy so he said he is going to read the Book of Mormon when he goes moose hunting. He is progressing slowly but I think he will get there.
Love you all. I don't have time but scripture of the week is the topical guide for Captain Moroni. (Alma 48:17: Yea, verily, verily I say unto you, if all men had been, and were, and ever would be, like unto Moroni, behold, the very powers of hell would have been shaken forever; yea, the devil would never have power over the hearts of the children of men.)

He was a pretty incredible guy.
Much Love
