Transfer 13, Week 1: This is Halloween

Hey Everyone, 
        How's the week been for all of you? Did you enjoy the holiday, or are you not that kind of person? It's all good. I enjoyed it that's for sure. Halloween is the BEST holiday ever. Even if you stuck in your apartment as a missionary. Haha
        So, this week has been pretty good for us, and very hectic I'll say. With not only Halloween, but transfers as well, it made for quite the different set of circumstances. So, I'll stop wasting your time and jump right into the highlights. 
        So, I guess the first highlight would be transfer news. Well...........................................................................................................................................................................................Elder Suckow and I are both staying in Columbia Falls. That wasn't expected, but we'll take it. Haha. 
        Next, Halloween. Halloween even as a missionary is so much fun. We had a Trunk or Treat, and a Halloween party at the Whitefish Elder's place. It was pretty low key, but a ton of fun. We watched the movie "Coco" the approved halloween movie for this year. I enjoyed it, and I hope that others did too. 
        Well, with Transfers coming on Friday this week because of Halloween, We had to drop off Elder Palmer with the Zone leaders, so he can transfer down to Butte. So, we got the Joy of Watching over Elder Wright for the day while we waited for Elder Lunt, his new companion, and my old trainee to arrive in Kalispell. That was a lot of fun. 
        On Sunday, during Ward Council, we were given a few possibilities of service projects for a couple nonmember families over the next few weeks. And they think that it may turn into something teachable for us, so we're super excited about that. I can't wait to see what we can do there.
         [Spiritual Thought:]  This week, I was [reading] right around good old King Benjamin. I love this great prophet. He is such a inspirational man who has helped me become better. What is one of his most famous sayings, Think upon the blessed and happy state of those who keep the commandments of God. How true that is. When you are following Christ, your state is happier than others. 
        All in all, it has been a pretty good week. We're hopeful for the future and excited for everything to start going back to better than normal starting this week. So stay tuned, and stay happy!

Love, 
Elder Sherwood

With the extra miles at the end of the month, we decided to go check out a little town up by the border called Polebridge.
