Elder Moffitt in Canada, eh!: Canadian ER

District Selfie!

Howdy everyone!

So it's been kind of a hectic week. We had transfers on Thursday, and my new companion is Elder Hewlett. He's a great guy and I'm excited to work with him! The night before transfers however, was a very long night. Elder Coe had been feeling sick recently, getting bad dizzy spells accompanied by bad headaches randomly over the past week or so. We had called Sister Miles to let her know what was going on and asked if we should perhaps take him to the hospital. She made a few calls, and then on Wednesday nightdecided that we should go to the ER. In Canada they apparently treat the ER more like a walk in clinic because of their free health care, and Elder Coe was getting transferred to Rosemary (A small village far away from civilization and hospitals) the next day, so they figured going to an ER was his best bet. Our Zone Leaders picked us up from dinner and took us down to the hospital (a very fancy one by the way) and we checked into the ER. It was a long night of waiting. Elder Coe got checked out by a number of nurses, and then waited a long time to see the actual doctor. President and Sister Miles came and waited with us. Those poor guys looked exhausted, but we were grateful to have them. Elder Coe checked out okay, but they referred him to a neurologist just to make sure there's nothing serious. We didn't get out of the hospital until about 1:30 am. President drove us home, so we felt completely justified in breaking curfew. The next day we woke up nice and early and went to the transfer station to meet our new companions. Elder Coe was shipped down south, and Elder Hewlett came with me! I'll really miss Elder Coe, he was a great guy, and we got along really well.

That's the big news for the week. We stopped by some other people and had a couple of lessons with less actives. We're looking forward to this next week! Our investigator, Dylan, is done with exams, so we'll hopefully have a lesson with him!

So today I just want to leave you guys with something someone talked about at our Stake Priesthood meeting last night. He was relating the story of the stripling warriors, and the part that stuck out to me, was from Alma chapter 57:21-26. In these verses, the stripling warriors were fighting the Laminates. They fought valiantly, and ended up winning that battle without a single one of them losing their lives. Each of them, however, suffered injuries of some sort. In our lives, we will each be spiritually wounded, but if we have faith like these young men, and continue valiantly in our testimonies of our Savior Jesus Christ, we will be able to overcome the adversary and win the battle.

I'm so grateful for each and every one of you, and I hope that everyone is doing well!

Love,

Elder Moffitt
