Justin came to General Conference and Elder Martin said it went great, he said that Justin is so close and he is really sad he can't be there. We found out that he is in the Bow Valley Ward in the West Calgary Stake, and is with a Elder Wiser who he knows and is happy about that. Not much more to say than he will soon be home in 6 weeks, and we as a family are excited and sad to be seeing his mission be coming to an end.<br />

We asked him "look you pretty much live all the standards, so what's holding you back from being baptized?" and he simply told us.... every now and then her gets "thought/doubts" in his head.. and it just makes him think! so we obviously taught to that and all that, it was a good lesson! The Baptism went smooth.... slightly awkward because we sat behind the Ex Wifes parents who are devout Catholic and they were pretty much bashing through the entire Service.... I wanted to slap them across the face with a Book Of Mormon but I didn't haha.... Transfers are on the 9th so 1 week, we live with the Sabey's. and yesterday we had 3 dinners haha.... 2 linger longers and then the Evans said that they had a smoked Brisket so come over... and man was that GOOOOOOD! Also about the Evans Their sons that are still home Conner (14) and Hayden (18) will probably be living with us for a week or so in august to go shooting/hunting and all that fun! :) just letting you know<br />

This week was pretty quick, feels like just yesterday i was on.... Well Tuesday was normal for the most part, had some splits in the evening but nobody showed up, so our WML took us to a family and they are active but lost their son to a suicide and they just opened up and talked about everything that's been on their minds... it was awesome, he left behind a small family and his wife isn't a member so we got her address and are sending missionaries to her house! :) The Dad prayed about it and everything and he felt strongly prompted that his daughter in law's heart had been soften enough :) so that was awesome!<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Then we had district meetings on Wednesday this week, the sisters were at the temple on Tuesday with a Returning less active family, so that's cool, after that had a delicious Burger :)</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Thursday we had an awesome dinner and lesson with Justin! we ate with the Ogdens and they are a sweet family, had BBQ burgers and then played some basketball with 3 of their kids and Justin and then had a killer lesson, on why it is we make choices and get baptized.... He knows what he needs to do, he just needs to search for his answer! :) Awesome guy.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Friday was pretty boring, everyone either went to Taber or Edmonton for Provincials for basketball... being southern Alberta, that's all this towns about is Basketball haha... between Friday and Saturday not a whole lot happened because of that BUT the boys took 4th in the Province and the Girls took 1st! so that was pretty exciting to hear.... </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Sunday was good, we taught 4th ward 3rd hour combined... had to give a presentation on PMG and why its awesome and set a goal with everyone to start reading it... i think people just let it go in one ear and out the other though, kinda like "oh hey the missionaries are speaking Zzzzz" and people don't understand that were representatives of Jesus Christ and speak for him, but hey that's alright! :) but ya that was my week! Oh also Abe's cat had kittens... they pretty cute, but also they are cats haha... so yup! Times getting closer! :)</div>

Magrath is well, we met with Justin this week and committed him to read and pray every night this week and he said he will do it! so that's great, he moved from out east to here for work, and has so much intent its crazy, he really wants to know if its true, and he said that if he comes to know its true he will 100% get baptized!! and then we met with the one 9-year-old and she has a baptism date for the 28th, its kind of a quick baptism haha but she is 9 so we teach her... and then we had a lot of less actives this week, got one the stop smoking program so she could set a date and she wants to stop by next Saturday! we thought that was awesome.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
we also did some gopher trapping this week haha, the Evans have some traps so we just set them and check them and hour later and boom its like magic, there's gophers in them! but that's was the outcome of my week!</div>

Tuesday was normal district meeting then splits with youth and Wednesday we went pigeon cleaning I guess you could call it haha, our WML in 1st ward had pigeon problems so Keith and I and the 2 kids we went on splits we took care of them... they would gun them down with pellet guns and we would get them when they hit the ground to make sure they were dead haha... it was quite fun, Thursday was interviews and those went well and quick haha, got my New Temple Recommend and shared hot Cheetos with President haha.... and no dad i wasn't nervous to open the box in front of prez haha, he's a funny guy and were good friends, Sister Nicholas on the other hand wanted to interrogate me to make sure I wasn't being stupid or focusing on other things haha, I told her that her husband approved, and she said "I'm the one who has the final say" I thought it was pretty comical! :D then that evening we taught Justin and it was awesome! this guy has pure intent and really wants to know what his direction in life is suppose to be, he feels that there's something there... so we taught the Light of Christ and it was sweet, and even better he came to church on Sunday! soooo sick! also Sunday in 3rd ward our WML asked us to be a part of his son's ordination to Deacon that was pretty cool! :) but that's just about sums up my week! :) take care love you lots!<br />

This week was normal I guess besides moving.... were just 2 clicks outside of town now in Brad Sabey's basement.... he is our Spring Coulee Branch leader. Also got to see a New less active this week, she just lost her husband and is working on getting back to church, it's awesome to still hear she has a testimony of the Plan of Salvation and that she wants to get her life back on track, she wants to stop smoking so that's great! was a pretty good lesson, and then we got around to the normal visits, couldn't get anything set up with the one family who's daughter were teaching... but that's alright. better luck this week.... on Saturday we did service which was nice.. except the fact we had to move a giant 300 Gallon Fish Tank and then a slightly smaller 200 gallon fish tank haha... I've heard of crazy cat people but these were crazy fish people... super heavy! but awesome at the same time... always exciting, then we did some cleaning of the Evans Garage and set up there pretty awesome Bosch Table saw.... it made me want it haha. All in all it was a pretty good week, it's been snowing again so I guess winter finally caught up with us, darn haha. yesterday we went to the Del Bonita Branch which is like 10k from the border, they have 15 people on membership records out there and 4 stake missionaries, it was a pretty good service, seeing a small church out there and dedicated members like that tells me the church is true! crazy to think only 2 fast Sundays left.... WOW!!</div>

I don't know if that's a blessing or a curse seeing how the watch was from smalls haha.... but the 3rd WML Mark Tollstrup who is a Boss gave me one of his many watches he collects so I'm good haha... other than that not much happened, sorry for the lame report... also its like that limbo time where im like whats the point in emailing haha i will be seeing you in 3 months anyways!!! waahoo ooo! :) Love you guys!Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09553491350253845431noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2571123220798024036.post-13475202437186434822015-04-10T10:24:00.001-07:002015-04-10T10:24:28.396-07:00February 17thholy smokes!! well HELLLOOOO family, sounds like you 3 have been having a vacation and you haven't even left home! pretty cool :) Really sounds like you have enjoyed Cheyenne :) which makes me happy.... so this past week was alright not to much happened... we did meet with 3 families who all have unbaptized daughters, and are all pretty much less active, so they want us to teach them and help them get baptized i believe 2 are 9 and 1 is 8 so that's exciting!! i love Re-activating families! One of the Families is a younger couple... about 26, but they are renovating a house and Keith and i have been going over there almost every day and helping them out.. I'm sure you got those pictures from that one random email.... i hope you did at least haha... and then it feels kinda like Keith and I are separate from the stakes idea of missionary work.. kinda hard to explain but simply put is were not on the same page haha... so were working on organizing this whole thing.... it's turning into quite the project haha... darn southern Alberta just likes to do things a little bit differently! :P But that's alright, the people here are awesome, it feels like a little home away from home out here, and when i come up to visit i will Definitely be staying in Magrath on the way through!! But that was the highlights of my week out here haha, i cant wait when i get home and can have some fun with you guys again but actually be there this time with Cheyenne! :) She says she totally loved you guys! and hopes that you really liked her haha! i told her that you did and not to worry! :) Love you mom and dad thanks for being amazing! :)Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09553491350253845431noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2571123220798024036.post-38622639763649261072015-02-10T11:50:00.002-08:002015-02-10T11:50:35.958-08:00February 9 2015 Alrighty!! Another week in Magrath down and over. This week was pretty good, we went to the Temple on Wednesday with a returning less active that was pretty amazing! He did some baptisms for the dead :) then the other days were back to the grind and normal, finding/teaching days and then Saturday we did some service at the Evans house... who are pretty much like our family in Magrath for Keith and i, they are awesome. Anyways we had some pretty awful wind and it blew down a tree.... so I hopped on a chainsaw and went to town! still more to do, but it's a start... then Sunday elder Keith and i both gave talks in the Spring Coulee branch.... they went well we both thought, at least that's what the members told us haha. But that was about all, to be honest, this week, Temple was the Highlight... cool fact about that temple, so Elder Chronis my main mandarin missionary homie, his Great Great grandfather painted the Murals in the temple! and man were they amazing! :) so that was a cool sight to see!<br />
<div>
Also sometime this week we were out cruising through the back country and came upon this old abandoned house, so we went to investigate.... we ended up seeing an owl and got some sick pictures :) Also President called because I asked if I could teach Jonathan to Prep him for his mission I guess, and I got permission! :) but it was funny because on the phone call he asked what are you doing? "I replied were on a dirt road, in the middle of nowhere, looking for dinner," and he was like "well Elder whatever you do try not to shoot it, run it over, or pick it up on the side of the road" haha we had a chuckle over that one... WELLLLLL that was my week! love ya bunches!</div>
<div>
also found this dead deer :P gotta love the great old outdoors!</div>

We attend usually 3 wards on Sundays... then on the following week switch and on occasion we try to get out to Welling, Del Bonita, and Spring Coulee on the other Sundays. were fed every night which is sweet.... going to have to stay fit though! haha, Ya.... it was cool to see Connie's Niece, finally got to meet someone who knows people back home! It's cool haha.... Today for p-day were all meeting in Cardston, the whole zone should be there so that will make things fun :) other than that, life is good.... as far as living, no we dont have or own space... except our bedroom... were on the look out for an apartment, we have permission from the mission housing coordinator to start the paperwork so were excited haha. But life's great! :)</span><br />

I thought Taber was small, well Magrath has about 2,500 people in it! and its a stake and were covering the whole thing! That's pretty crazy. We have a little Subaru Impreza.... hopefully it holds up haha they are just so cheap and the roads out here are horrible. I live with Elder Keith my Comp and the Spackmans.... also a cat named Lucy and a dog named Heidi :) still have a place to do laundry so that's nice... and they do stock the fridge so I shouldn't have to spend to much money! :) they are really nice people, brother spackman is in the Scouts Canada board so he is a fun guy to talk with.... we have a lot of less active work to do, and organizing since the sisters just left and we are taking their area... were looking for investigators right now haha, i think there is like 10 non-members here it seems like, so this is going to be fun! I do like small towns! I'm sure I forgot information.... sorry but it's going to be a fun transfer! </span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">Also thought i would let you know i bought work out bands called TRX since weight sets are not allowed anymore... don't know why i didn't buy them earlier but they are awesome... they were 90$ but they do help! gotta stay in shape! :)</span></div>

I think DTM is District Training Meeting for those interested.....lol</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Well this week was interesting..... Monday was the usual P-day and Tuesday with DTM then we went to High River for a DTM and THEN in the evening i got to see Kevin the RC.... he has been super busy and hasn't been going to church much, the ward is working with him but it was so great to sit and chat with him, were still great friends. Wednesday we were Downtown until dinner and then came in early for New Years Eve and all that shenanigans haha, Elder Smith and I played some Intense rounds of chess! On Thursday we had a move to do... it was cold ha like -15C yippee! then we had to drive all over the zone to get Car gas information because on Friday we drove alllll the way down to Lethbridge for some Mission Leadership Council! :D i love driving a good distance! on the way back we got caught in the middle of a snow storm.... the wind and snow was awful i felt like i was in the millennial falcon going into light speed haha. slowest i hit was 40k soooo we were crawling but we made it to Okotoks just in time for elder smith to do a baptism interview For Larry who got baptized on Sunday!!!! it was the coolest baptism ever, we filled up the chapel! Truly amazing stuff. Larry's family was baptized 6 years ago and he said he would support but never join... well now he joined, his son who is leaving on his mission in 9 days baptized him, and will confirm him next week! also he will be serving in Ventura California.</span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">As far as Elder Smith and i are, were plugging along... searching/cleaning up our area book and are trying to find investigators, but 1 member says he has someone in the works to meet with us, now its only a matter of time! so were excited!! but ya that's my week! :) Love you!!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Alrighty so this week has been pretty exciting i guess you could say.... basically the only thing that we have done this week is what we call Operation CC. Which consists of the Christmas cards that we made for the entire ward, and cookies that we made to go with the Christmas card when we visit less actives! I will be sending the letter and Picture here this week, sorry that i've been slacking in that department. So this week we ate at Bro Okeys house.... he is part owner of the company called Cardel Homes, its the family business, and he let us sit in his Ferarrie FF so that was pretty sweet haha, he wants to take us to his company warehouse one p-day and let us see the other cars he has so thats neat! Then we also had the YSA christmas party, Even though I moved out of the YSA ward (I think I told you that haha) I was still invited to come and it was sooooo well put together! They re-inacted "how the grinch stole christmas" and Brody... the less active I taught was the Grinch and man was he AWESOME! other than that, that was pretty much my week.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Alrighty then.... where do I even begin with this week well, Tuesday we had Zone training meeting, that went alright I suppose haha, when you get 26 missionaries together it can tend to get a little hectic. But the training was delivered nonetheless! Wednesday we were able to head downtown for some good contacting... I placed a Mandarin Book of Mormon in Chinese!!!! it was awesome haha then we had our mission Christmas activity! all of the zones in Calgary met and we ate pizza and then the secret.... We got to watch MEET THE MORMONS!!!! can I say WOW! what a spectacular film! very well promoted and put together! :) very touching stories. My favorite would probably have to be The candy Bomber, and then the coach, then missionary mom! Oh backtrack to Tuesday, a member in the ward took us to her friends house who is looking for god in their life, and we were able to comfort and teach them and pick them up as 2 new investigators! they are sweet, Leo and Juana! from Columbia. So on Thursday we went back to teach them more, we talked on the atonement and the Plan he has for us, also gave them both blessings! :) come Friday we had interviews with president and we delivered mail to the zone. It was a nice comforting interview and reassuring in my eyes, President is a very inspired man!</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">Saturday came, and we attended our Stake Presidents Father's Funeral, he was 93, and an amazing man, it was a wonderful service, he reminded me of the Candy Bomber in a way, he received the DFC award. or the Distinguished Flying Cross. he served as a bomber in WW2 for the English air force... he will be missed. we then helped set up for the ward Christmas party and then WENT to the ward Christmas party and Leo and Juana also came with their 2 kids who are about 14 and 12. Then sunday church came, and sundays are usually all the same, we did go Visit Leo and Juana, gave them a Christmas basket before they leave for Columbia for the Christmas season! they were in such happier spirits then they were on Thursday, Its amazing to see the lord play a role in the lives of others! So that was pretty much my week in a nutshell! it was a pretty great one! :)</span></div>

Canyon Creek<span style="font-size: large;">Alright onto this week! Transfers were INSANE!!!! For starters we have a new assistant and he has been out 8 months! no leadership experience except for training. President has gotten rid of the whole "ladder" leadership nonsense.... it is more in-tune with the lord now and he calls who the lord wants to in this mission as leaders..I'm excited! Elder Smith is an example of that also he went from Senior comp to Zone leader! pretty exciting! :) So Coming from the brethren Elders and Sisters no longer should be serving together in the same ward, so president moved me out of the YSA ward and replaced me with Sisters there, so there is 2 sets of sisters in the YSA ward, and I am now in the Canyon Creek Family ward! I was a little bummed and saddened by that, but its OK, the lord wants me here, I'm going to find out why and get to work! starting from scratch basically! :) should be fun!!!</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Alright soooo this week has been exciting.... training calls have come out and transfers are among us!!!! We helped someone moved on Tuesday..... went downtown on Wednesday and had a great time down there, was on exchanges with the assistant and that evening I found out that elder Campbell is training!!!!!!! I'm going to have a grandson in the mission! yaaaay! :) also Elder Baker is training... again! crazy so I'm getting a new companion on Thursday.... I wonder who it could be! Thursday we planned for out missionary FHE activity and put the finishing details on that then ate dinner at the Babcocks house, he Grew up in Murrieta! small world once again, on Friday we went to trainers training for Elder Baker and then went to eat lunch at Buffalo Wild Wings :) then went to the hospital to meet with a returning less active :) Saturday we baked cookies with Daniel our WML and then wrapped them up with a "he is the gift" attached to them, they were walnut oatmeal chocolate chip and butterscotch :) we then got the Zone together and went zone snow shoveling! :) Sunday went well.... good church services and then went to the hospital to visit the less active again! :) </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"> </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">Alright now for the fun! :) Last night we had a MTC for FHE (member training center) we put it on to help the ward get excited for missionary work, one room was Role Plays, another room was addressing missionary work fears and starting a personal mission plan and the grand finale was an obstacle course! The members were blindfolded and had to hold on to a rope that lead them who knows where and keep their egg we gave them from breaking..... and goal was to make it to the end without having a broken egg.... catch was that everyones egg was broken... but through the atonement of a loving savior we can still be put back together... and we gave them some chocolate :) it was SWEET! that pretty much wraps up the week! all in all was fun and now its going to get even more crazy!</span></div>

I miss being able to go there just about once a week haha, Then I was asked to "talk" with Elder Halford while secretly Elder baker went out and got me 2 ties.... which I found on my bed later that night upon returning to the apartment haha, then we gave the sisters a blessing, and went to dinner with Daniel after that! it was Delicious... .as always, we mad home made pizza and had Tres Leche Cake! :) or 3 milk cake for those who don't know Spanish :P or I just suck at spelling ha ha.....

So this week, we went on exchanges and I was down in high river for the day with Elder Edwards, his birthday is the 19th haha crazy... Great Elder, thoroughly enjoy serving around him, I was his zone leader in Airdrie when I was there last too, he goes home this transfer, this is the 7 week transfer so it ends on Dec 4th, tell grandma she is awesome for sending the money! I love her mucho! how is she doing by the way? and poppy? ummm after the exchange we heard word that one of the Elders we live with is going home so that was sad... he did go home honorably though... so that left us with 1 missionary and he was transferred to brooks so our apartment is empty now.... which led to Elder Baker and I super deep cleaning it and it looks SOOOO nice now! im excited :) While on exchanges we got to teach a lady named Pam, and it was probably the sweetest lesson ever, I was able to share many experiences that could relate to what she had to say and question and we asked her to pray about Joseph smith being a prophet and what we have to testify of is true, and she started praying in the middle of a lesson, kinda funny but super awesome at the same time! :) her husband just needs to stop being a drunk and support her! then we would be solid! Saturday we had a stake conference priesthood session and that was just super fun... being questioned and having to reply about missionary work because we are the zone leaders ha ha.... all good though, its getting the stake excited for missionary work! then Sundays session of stake conference was amazing! the choir was amazing and the speakers were just phenomenal, i don't remember me as a youth or our youth back home being able to give such great talks but man up here they slayed it! all in all great week.... sure not a WHOLE lot of teaching but it seems like every day is just a spiritual high! :) its nice!!! hope you have an amazing week! your the best love you! :) and sorry no new updates on pictures</span>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09553491350253845431noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2571123220798024036.post-87446430067434668842014-12-03T12:20:00.001-08:002014-12-03T12:20:19.573-08:00November 10th 2014<span style="font-size: large;">Not quite sure what to email about this week.... I would say winter is officially back... its 5 with windchill -13..... We Found a new less active who is reaching out, his names Chad and he is awesome! he is way into sports and what not, he also has a sick lumberjack beard ha ha thought I should throw that in there, other than that we had MLC this Friday talked about how to Hold the mission accountable and Discussed the topic for teaching this month which is Doctrines of Christ and how we can more fully apply the atonement to become Truly Converted Missionaries... aside from all that that's pretty much my week... we had a cool Remembrance day themed sacrament meeting at church that was nice, and then we have been planning for Zone Training Meeting for tomorrow! should be Exciting! Hope your weeks went well!

<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">So i don't know how exciting this weeks email will be so lets see what happened... well Monday we went to Sheep River Falls again and had a weeny roast, that was fun haha, cooked them on good ole fashioned sticks :) Then Tuesday we had to go to in the evening to Walk through an apartment that missionaries would be moving into then we had some delicious breakfast for dinner! :) on Wednesday we had institute, and had to clean the car because it was zone conference on Thursday, so we had one conference and that was pretty sweet, it was based off the Elder Robbins Talk "which way do you face" then we had to go change the sisters tire after Zone Conference. For dinner we went out to Buffalo Wild Wings for boneless wing Thursday haha, doesnt make sense to me but oh well and then we were told to go down to Okotoks to help Sheep River (the elders who are moving) to clean their apartment better, so we had to go down and babysit more or less and clean the apartment to perfection, that went on till the early morning haha Got some sleep only to start cleaning again on Friday before we had to travel the zone to pick up Gas Receipts and car log information to turn into the mission office that day. That took most of the day, then we had a lesson with Courtney who we picked up a few weeks ago, she seems to love missionaries and is super interested in what it is we do! so we met with her at Tim Hortons. Then we had to be inside by 6 unless we had a dinner so we went to the dinner at the Babcocks, they are awesome! He was born in Murrieta! pretty crazy, so they are an American family. On Saturday we correlated with our WML and went to Brothers for lunch, mmmm so good :) Then had a lesson with Qing who is our recent convert. After we went to dinner at a members house, and after that we had a second dinner! A returning less active in the woodbine ward saw us when we were teaching Courtney and told us Saturday he is feeding us no matter what ha ha, so he took us and the woodbine elders out to Joeys! They actually had some very good fish tacos! it was nice to have those ha ha. Sunday was Break the fast and that was delicious of course! :) had some AMAZING roast beef actually ha ha then we had a fireside with elder Hallstrom. that pretty much sums up my week! :) </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Well this week was pretty good. Been busy with organizing the zone and getting ready for transfers... Elder Bjarnson is leaving me :( we have been down to high river several times to get things in order for the High River Sisters to move back there so we have been helping them move and found a new apartment for them to live in, we will be moving them in tomorrow thats going to be exciting at least i get to drive a Silverado :)</span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">So on Pday last week we went to Sheep River Falls and it was gorgeous! :) got to get back into the grand outdoors! then the remainder of the week was trying to set up lessons with people to teach and finding people to teach, The spanish Elders had a baptism this week that we attended so that was cool :) When we went to Downtown Calgary on Wednesday I was with Elder Clark and we saw a little boy literally right after he got hit by a car, the kid couldn't have been older than 3, He only broke his leg, but in 2 places and it looked pretty gnarly, reminded me of mine.... there was luckily a lady who was there who was an emergency room nurse, so we felt helpless and didn't know what do do anymore so we left but then stopped and offered the little tyke a prayer and literally after the prayer was over we heard the Sirens of the Ambulance! :) and in all honesty Calgary Emergency isn't the quickest ive been told ha-ha, Then we met a Native man... who met the stereotype of drunk and homeless but we talked with him anyways, he was on a park bench and Elder Clark asked him first if he had a belief in god and he said he did, then i asked him "where did you come to gain this knowledge for yourself" The Gentlemen Launy was his name replied that his grandma took him to church ever week, then he just broke down into tears! we knelt down with him so we were on his level, it was quiet for about a minute and then we bore witness of the Plan Of Salvation told him we and Christ loved him, gave him a copy of the BoM, a picture of Jesus, and our information, it was way awesome! :) So that was Wednesday, the remainder up until Friday was normal then Friday we Knocked on this Referrals door that our stake president gave to us, She answered! her name was Emily we asked if she.... and then Emily herself cut us off and was like hey lets go to your church right now (it was down the street) so we went to the Church and taught her the first lesson and about temples and families together forever! :) it was awesome.... then Sunday rolls along and i gave my talk :) I was able to pick my favorite talk from Conference which was "lord is it I" by Uchtdorf :) Delivered it well i was told... a lot of compliments so i was happy! :) then had 3 thanksgiving dinners over the last 2 days ha ha :) and that was my week! </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">This week was actually a little slower believe it or now! So after P-day we has some delicious Mucho Burrito and Elder Bjarnson ate the Ghost Pepper Sauce burrito and just about killed himself it was great to watch ha ha. Tuesday we had Normal District Meetings and A lesson with Brody, Hes pretty much awesome and super strong in coming back to church, that night we went on exchanges and i woke up with a swollen eye... weird right? 1 problem after the next... it was called Iritis, inflammation of the iris so i was wearing glasses for a week, doctors don't know what really causes it, it just happens. i'm all better now! :) soo Wednesday I was pretty much down for the count because the inflammation causes your eye to hurt if you look or see any light so we didn't do much, I pretty much slept the day away until dinner because it was dark enough I could go out with Brody who took us to this amazing Stir fry restaurant. then Thursday went down to the Doctors to get the whole eye thing diagnosed and then had some good dinner with a cool member in High River... then Friday we had the Mission Leadership Council meeting all day (MLC) that was nothing but a ball of joy.... we have to train the mission on how to Teach People not Lessons now :) then Conference was just awesome....I still have a hard time taking notes and paying attention, so i tried my best but i don't think i got everything out of it that i could have, so i will be downloading all the talks onto my USB and listening to them again! </span><br />

Monday was nice. We had a good p-day, then Tuesday we got to hear from Elder Packer's son... Elder Packer haha. That was pretty cool. He talked about how we can further help those converted be an eternal convert. So mainly retention and what not :) Then on Wednesday we had interviews with president. That was cool because Elder Bjarnson and I got to hang out with president all day because we were inspecting all the missionary cars. President took us out to lunch :) He really reminds me of poppy. I'm not gonna lie. After Interviews we ate with our ward mission leader, that was sooo gooooood. We had arrepas. It is a Venezuelan meal. Sooo good! Then we had institute with our RC Kevin and the Returning member Brody, they are both the coolest people I have ever met. Brody's story is quite amazing! Very grateful I was able to meet him :) Then Thursday we helped with a baptism that went all haywire... It was suppose to happen at 3:30. Then the family got in a car accident. Then they rented a car... well an hour and a half later we finally started the baptism! Right after that we had to travel down to High River to pick up all the Car log information. So we got home at like 10! Such a crazy long day. Then on Friday we left to get mail and on the way we got a call to open the church building for a funeral that we were told was canceled. The member at the last second decided to say its on again, so we turned around and unlocked the building. We then proceeded to get mail, on our way back to drop the mail off we got a call from the Elders down in Okotoks to see if we could fill a font for them. So we rushed down to fill the font and didn't leave there until 5:45. We were 20 min. late to dinner. After dinner it was alright we got to teach Brody! Lets see and then Saturday we were on exchanges and I was with Elder Manning. We went back down to Highriver to do some service, ended up building a deck! Its been a while since I've been in work boots for 8 hours! Turned out nice though! :) and finally Sunday we were able to have nice quiet church and break the fast! Now I'm here emailing you on Monday! This week seriously felt like it was go go go go go! INSANE!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">To answer your question about this Elder Lloyd.... yes he was AP and yes I know him. I knew him when I first came into the mission. He was training Elder Call. We saw each other every p-day back then and now I'm his zone leader! :) He is no longer AP he is serving in the Cimmaron ward with Elder Sorenson also from Idaho!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">P.S I bought a nice light jacket for the winter because the big snow jacket gets to hot sometimes and it works as a good service jacket :)</span><br />
