My week was great. I am now in Dryden and I love
it here. My new companion is so great and it is the best place in the mission.
It feels like a completely different mission! It was closed for a year and it was just opened two transfers ago so
everything is new and the place has so much potential and we are going to have
so much work to do. I love it already! This week we are
going to contact all the other ministers here (there are like 12 churches here
in Dryden, town of 7000 people) and the mayor and see what all we can do to
help! The people I have met so far are really great and I am so excited to work
will all of them! And all of Ontario is surrounded by water but this part of
Ontario is so beautiful! Just trees and rocks and lakes everywhere, everything
about this place is great! It is
just a branch and on Sunday there were 11 people there and a new couple (the
male was recently baptized almost 2 years ago) came from like an hour away from
some surrounding area to our tiny little branch! It was great to see! There is
just Elder F and I here and there is also a Senior Missionary Couple who
have been here for over a year now. But it’s great. I am hoping, and will
probably stay here for at least 6 months!
As for the heat, it was only really hot for like two weeks all summer and it has
already started to cool down quite a lot. I have a feeling that it is going to
be an early and a very long winter!
But I love you and hope that you continue
enjoying the rest of your summer, at least what is left of it.
- Love Elder Shane Dola
