WEEK NINETY TWO - FIRESIDE AND SERVICE

Hello!

I keep saying it, but it's still true! Time is going by SO fast. So fast that I can hardly even think of what happened this week. I didn't take any notes, so I'm going by the our daily planner.

We stopped by quite a few people this week, and we were really hoping to pick up some new investigators. Unfortunately, we weren't able to start teaching anybody, but we're hoping this week will be better! The lady I mentioned a few weeks ago who asked us for a Book of Mormon and set an appointment with us to come back, called us to cancel our appointment and tell us that she's fine with her church. That was disappointing, but hopefully we can talk to her and figure it out.

On Sunday we had our "Come and See" fireside with all of the missionaries in Calgary. It went super well, and I may or may not have cried about seven times. We invited a bunch of people to come, but most of them weren't able to make it, except for Samadi! He's from Tajikistan, and he was very excited to get a Book of Mormon and come to church! He came to the fireside, but he had to leave before we could talk to him a little more. We're hoping to start teaching him more soon!

We did a bunch of service for some members in the ward on Monday. We had district council in the morning, which was great, and then headed over to the Choy's. We did some yard work, which was great and reminded me a lot of home. After that, we helped move some enormous concrete columns buried in the ground of another house. It was pretty fun, and also pretty exhausting.

We also got haircuts today, so that was awesome.

Love you all! Have a great week!

I taught Elder Gregory how to make Tim Tam slams with some real imported Australian Tim Tams. Thanks to Elder Francia.
