Week 33: Ice Storms and Transfers

Surprise update! I am getting transferred. Both Elder Hardy and I are gone. The Village ward is turning into a sister area. I am convinced that it is because our apartment is too nice for elders. So I am going to Guthrie 1st and 2nd ward. It is only 30 minutes away from my old area. I am pumped for it.

So the coolest experience happened this week. Back in Moore when I was companions with Elder Bowman we found this woman who was in her car while we were out tracting. Her name is Camila. We talked to her twice while we were down in that area but then she moved. We didn't know where she moved so we couldn't do anything about it at all so we just moved on with our lives. It turns out she had moved into Edmund 2nd ward which is the area that borders mine. We got a call from Elder Bowman and he told me Camila was getting baptized!!!!!! We ended up being able to go to the baptism. It was the coolest thing ever. It was fun to see how that all worked out.

This week we had a massive ice storm come through and we were in the Myriad Botanical gardens when someone came in and told us that they were shutting the place down because of the storm and the below-freezing temperatures. We got caught in it on our way home. It was so bad that we ended up being stuck inside for 2 days. It was rough and I had cabin fever but it was fun to see an ice storm. Mark that off the mission bucket list.

Love, 

Elder McMinn
