"So I think the biggest thing on your mind right now is what happened during transfer calls! It just so happens that you rightly guessed that I am staying in Valleyfield for the next transfer. However, Elder Freeze is being transferred to Alma... so that's way north and east from here. It's about 500 kms to get there... I am going to be training again! Ha except for this time it is with a green greeny - not like elder freeze and how he was a 1 transfer greeny. I actually won't know who exactly my companion is going to be until I show up to transfers on wednesday. Ha They only tell you that you are training because sometimes they make changes to who trains who after President Cannon has had a chance to interview the new missionaries on Tuesday night or Wednesday morning.
"So this transfer will be different just because it is 3 weeks instead of the normal 6 weeks and at the end of this 3 week transfer is when Valleyfield will split into two areas - so the two branches we cover will both have their own set of missionaries. I wonder what will happen in 3 weeks and if I will stay or go or what will happen... but that is 3 weeks down the road.
"A funny story for you all is something that happened last monday after I wrote you all. (not to mention that it is also funny that I am using hand motions and facial expressions as I am writing this story in the email) Anyways, we were at the mission office to hopefuly get reimbursed for some things (another story for another time) and while we were there I was talking with Sister Arhets - one of the senior missionaries that works in the office. When I served in Hochelaga/montreal east I was around sister arhets a fair amount and we became good friends. Ha so she said to me 'Elder Mortenson! I can't believe that you embarrassed me the other day!' Ha to which i was really confused. I thought it was because I had written her a thank you note for some things she had gotten me. Then she continued, 'the other day a missionary called and was like 'hi sister arhets! Guess who it is! It's your favorite missionary!' Ha to which she responded 'Elder Mortenson?!' Ha funny thing was... it wasn't me who had called. Ha so she felt a tad bit embarrassed.
"Out of the blue this week we received a call from a guy that we didn't know before and he started asking about the english class that we do. And then he also asked about church and what time it started and what he needed to wear, etc. Ha So we answered his questions and told him when church was and left it at that. We were in St. Lazare for church yesterday, so we asked Brother Brochu to keep an eye out for the guy at church. Ha he totally came!"
