I'm in Vancouver right now and Elder Glover and I have taken
some time to visit people he knew in West Vancouver, the richest area in the
entire nation! MAN, you and Sam would faint if you saw how big some of the
houses in Richmond are (where the mission office is) and DIE if you saw
some of the places here in West Van! lol. Anyhow finding was rough this week
because Elder Glover had to pack and say his final goodbyes to the members he's
worked with. He baptized 6 people in Nanaimo which is a good number for
BC. :) Anyway, we stopped by a member family called the Baumgarters. They have a
really nice place and are some of the kindest people you will ever meet! They
fed us pizza and ice cream. Interestingly enough, Sister Baumgarter was born in
Edmonton and her family lived really close to the White Ave Chapel! They also
know Bishop Nelson and his family! :)
We actually did set a new baptismal date
earlier with Bruce. He has a huge hotwheels collection of all
things which is pretty sweet. Apparently he has already read the entire book of
Mormon and knows it's true! :D
And now for the transfer news:
I will be staying once again in Nanaimo and have been put with a new companion
by the name of Elder Burns. He has been out a little longer then I have and
from what I've heard from Elder Glover he is... excellent. ;) He's out in the
Okanagen somewhere though so he needs some time to travel to Richmond for the
transfer. I meanwhile, get this... will be staying to work in Surrey for
a little while with my old MTC buddy Elder Bonfield! :O I'm stoked to
be with him again and catch up and see how he's doing. He's seen a lot of
success in his areas from what I've been hearing. Well that's about all there
is to report right now. I'd love to write more but I need to email President
Tilleman with little time to spare.
Love you all!
Elder Maclean Samis
