September 15, 2014 weekly update, transferred to aplenglow ward with elder van tress, FHE bear

Well.....I'm getting transferred again!! I'll be going to the chugach zone, serving as a district leader int he alpenglow ward. my new companion is elder van tress. my first comp who has been out not as long as me, kinda weird. This week we did a lot of packing and cleanin'. but last Monday we had a hilarious experience. we were at empty nesters family home evening, and it was kind of in a rural spot. Well there was a bear that kept coming by, but no one saw it but the head of the house. So the third time it came by, everyone was looking at it through the window, but the head of the house was like, "excuse me I'm going to my room real quick." While everyone was oooohing and ahhhing, I looked over and saw brother friend sneaking out the side door with a R700, and a few seconds later, BANG! the bear was shot through the heart, and he was to blame. One of the old ladies there, and ironically the one who hated me, just burst into tears and was unconsolable. Did I mention that this happened right in the middle of our lesson? I was sittin' there and was like, uh, can we say a prayer? and then after that prayer all the old ladies left and we went out with brother friend and dragged the bear in and took some pics. it was awesome!! hope yall are well! love elder p
