November 28, 2019 Thanksgiving MaMoney!

Hey yall so this past week and few days has been so crazy!  Our Pday got moved since Thanksgiving duh, this last week in Sutherland was good, we got to teach a handful of lessons to members with a youth team up which was super fun.  We had exchanges with the McCook elders and I was with Elder Brandon, we ended up helping a part member family process meat from a couple deers harvested from this hunting season!  It was sweet and soon to be delicious!  We cut up the hind quarters and got it all cleaned up and got most the skin off and fur, then grinded it up with a little bit of hamburger to take away the game taste if ya know what I mean.  It was good, we talked about sending him on a mission lol.  After exchanges we hit up the outer areas of the branch, tired a handful of members and people with intrest, got to work in some cool towns in the middle of no where, saw a sweet dog with some stylish fur, a squirrel and of course farm equipment!  We also had a branch planning meeting, I felt like a little kid at an adult party or meeting, but hey we got dinner out of it so it was good.  We met with Chris and that was good.  Sunday was also good, Elder Newell had to give a 20 min talk lol.  our day was pretty good, met up with Austin again and followed up but the trucking life is soooo busy so hopefully he finds time to read the Book of Mormon and if he wants to continue to learn.  Sunday night about 12:30 AM we got a call from the Lincoln Zone leaders asking where we were...  I questioned their question.  Turns out im being transferred:(  I was pretty pissed so I started packing at 1AM when we got off the phone and yeah.  Turns out I was suppose to get a call from someone else to tell me I was leaving, and had to leave Sunday night to avoid a blizzard.  The next day I packed up and it snowed about 6 inches throughout the day.  We still got around so I could see members before I left, shoveled a few driveways and yeah.  We had dinner with the Elders Quorum president one last time and we played a couple games and with the dog then headed home.  We found out I-80 was closed from Kearney to York which is 86 mile stretch, therefore I cannot make it to transfer point, which was about 4 hours east of Ogallala.  I tried to talk some sense into our APs but ya know they didnt listen.  4:30AM rolls around and we start our trek eastward, in my equinox yay...  We drove on a sheet of ice about the whole time, met up with the McCook elders in case we got stuck and yeah, Elder Brandon is the worst utah driver, freaking tailgating and cutting me off, genius.  Still love them though.  We made it on time actually and the APs were about 2.5 hours late.  Got canes for lunch, then off to Lincoln!  My new area in the Northern part of the city with some boonies as well.  I got a 2019 Toyota Rav4 Hybrid as my car so its pretty hype.  Elder William's is my new comp, came out 1 transfer after me so you got 2 grandpa missionaries out here killing it!  Im pumped to see what we can do, so I hope yall have a great thanksgiving and dont get too stuffed!  

Love yall
