Friday was Canada Day, and boy was it an adventure. We started out the day with weekly planning, which is about the least adventurous thing about being a missionary, then went and got some donair poutine and shakes with some Elders in our district for lunch to celebrate Canada Day. Not long after that they texted us and asked us to help someone move with them, so of course we said yes. Little did any of us or the 7 other missionaries who ended up helping know that the move would take the whole rest of the day! It was brutal! We loaded and unloaded two 45 foot truck loads to the very top full of stuff for a non-member lady. I don't understand how one person can have so much stuff haha.... It was definitely the most crazy, hard move any of us had ever done. My forearms and hands were sore, bruised, scratched and mangled the next day. We even had to end up staying out helping way past our curfew because they only had the truck for the night.... It was just not the best situation ever, and we had a hard time helping the mission president understand the late night, but it was definitely an adventure for sure, and the lady was very appreciative of our help.
