Don Sherwood Family Blog: Transfer 3, Week 4: When It Rains, It Snows.

Elder Sherwood and Elder Lunt

Hey Everyone,

How's it going? This week has been actually pretty ordinary, so no need to be upset by the shorter email. Anyway, let's get right into it.

To start off, it's been chilly this past week or so. It has been getting colder, and it has rained a lot this week. It has been in the 30-40 degree range for a while. I pulled out my thicker coat, and it even showed this week. Ugh. Snow should be happen in September.

Like I said, nothing super exciting happened this week. We had a decent week in Fairfield, Montana. We had some lessons with John, invited Kim, the new lady we found with Elder Ritchie last week to the Harvest Dinner, and Jerry returned from North Dakota again, so that was a plus.

We got to ride the the 1917 ford model T again this week when we had dinner with the Watsons, so that was fun.

So, we kind of had 2 dinners on Wednesday. There was a Harvest Dinner put on by the Fairfield Ward for the community that night, and we had dinner prior to the Harvest Dinner with Br. Phinney, the Sunriver Ward mission leader. It was great, but Br. Phinney loves to talk, so we ended up being late to the Harvest Dinner. But it was well worth going. We didn't get to meet everyone that attended, but the ward council said that there were easily over 300 people served, most of which were non members. It was a great night.

District meeting was on Thursday this week, because mix was this week, so we accommodated with the zone leaders. It was a good, as always, no discussions this time, but we definitely got a lot out of it.

Sadly, one of my favorite families moved away this week. The Lee's moved to Kalispell, Whitefish area to be precise. It was so sad to see them go. I'm going to miss them.

On Saturday, we helped the Hatch's move some stuff, then played ping pong for a little bit. It was a pretty fun time.

Lastly, on Sunday, we had the opportunity to have church in Augusta. The Fairfield Ward does this once a year, do it was kind of fun to go to church in a different location.

Well, that pretty much sums up my week. There is a lot of possibility here, but not too much moving at this point. Oh well, hopefully next week will improve.

I guess a quick spiritual thought. As I have been doing my studies this past week, and with General Conference coming up this next week, I have been reading a conference talk each day. I know that we can receive many blessings from studying the words of the prophets, and it really helps prepare our minds for what they may say.

Well, I hope you are all doing well. Keep it up, and I'll talk to you all next week.

Love,

Elder Sherwood
