Day 26

So you will have to tell me all about your first week there. 

 This week has been pretty slow, my companion and I have been brainstorming ways that we can improve our standing with the branch so that: one: we can help the branch become more missionary minded, and two: maybe we'll get fed more ;) so any Ideas would be appreciated, as of now we have put an article in the paper here in swift current to advertise our service, we're planning to make cookies for the branch so that they'll love us, and include a sweet note to make it personal, we thought about birthday cards but we aren't sure yet. We're trying to find more investigators so we are contacting all the less actives that we can, and all the former investigators that we have. we've contacted a few, and we bullied one into an appointment for next Sunday. Other than that we are trying to talk to everyone we see, it's hard sometimes, but it's been going better, 

our day to day life is usually wake up and study till eleven, I do have a facebook out here, we are supposed to proselyte on there for one of our slow hours everyday, It's ok sometimes. then we have lunch, we try to find people to teach in the afternoons and we have dinner in the evening. at night we usually go try and contact less actives and former investigators, we get home at night and plan on what to do the next day.

 How is the weather, not 100 like down here, I assume.  

 yesterday it was seventy five.. so a little cooler than Idaho weather in mid summer. I love it. Canada is green, humid, windy and flat, but I like it anyway... 


 Do you have members feeding you or are you on your own for meals?

One of my favorite things about being a missionary is that I only have two cares in the world, working hard to bring the gospel to everyone and what to eat for dinner.. so that's pretty good.

My companion is very selfless, he takes care of himself and then does service for me so it makes it hard to serve him back. Although I did make Gyros the other day, they were alright. ;) before I got here he bought a bunch of food for us so that I wouldn't show up and have nothing. We're budgeted about two dollars a meal, so if we plan right than we are usually ok

Everything is more expensive here.. it's crazy
