Day 41

What was the best thing this week?

 best thing about this week was when we were in the store and some lady approached us in a store about the gospel, then introduced us to another lady in the store and told her that we were great people to take out for coffee. nothing has came of it so far but thats ok.. another experience from this week was that one of our investigators who is almost eighty, cut my hair, we did some service for her and then we taught her a little bit, she said she thought the mormon church was true but she didn't know if she wanted to join it. (she claims she's scared of water.) she smokes. (oh and she fed us pizza..)

Any luck with the couple from the week before?

 We recommitted them to come to church, but they didn't come.

When are transfers?

Transfers are in two weeks, but don't worry, nothing will probably happen here. 

Can you go to the temple even if you aren't being transferred?

Maybe, I don't know so much about that. 

Tell me about some of your service opportunities?

Oh just odd things, we work in a bookstore a little, we go to old folks homes, we've helped people move, we've mowed a few lawns, just things like that. 

Korinne wants to know what you eat for breakfast?

Blueberry pomegranite wheat cereal, it's really cheap at the store, it's one of those brands like malt o meal where they just copy other cereal. that's my source of fiber.  

What has been your favorite dinner so far?

We've had a few meals, not a ton, but a family had us over yesterday for roast beef and potatoes, the little potatoes that they had grown in their garden. it was really good especially after fast sunday 

Have you seen anything that is uniquely Canadian?

McDonalds has a little tiny maple leaf on their sign, other than that not really... I'm not sure if you can get the cereal I buy in the states.. does that count? 

Does anything surprise you about Canada or Canadians?

Not really, I'm surprised at how many people just wont look at us or sometimes they wont wave back... probably just cuz we are missionaries..... but I just try to smile at everyone. 

How long has your companion been in the area?

four and a half months. 

Does his mom have a blog for him?

Nope. blogs are for lame people, and wendi. #wendiisntlame

How often do you hear from your president?

Every week. I email him.

So how do p-days work, do you have the whole day to do what you need/want?

I get from ten to six

What do you do in the other hours, before ten, and after 6?

study in the morning and proselyte from six to nine :)

Are there many sister missionaries out there?

I don't think that I have any in my Zone. but out of the 150 missionaries out here I think that 30 of them are sisters

This week we mainly just worked, we did more service this week than usual, so that was good. nothing monumental has really happened, I'm just nice to the members because I love them, and a little bit so they'll love me back. Service is probably one of our most powerful tools to gain investigators here in swift current. I miss you all tons and tons, I hope you know that.
