This week was...crazy

Well, this week was quite interesting. We talked to some less actives and got to know some more people of the ward. We also got to go to YSA activities and learn more and more about the gospel and it was sweet. 

The thing that was pretty dang wierd was that we had an investigator that looked up some Anti-Mormon videos and wanted us to watch the movie with her next time we came. We didn't know how to really respond and we are not sure if we can or even we want to. It will be interesting on what will happen. She has been coming to church though and participating well in the Gospel Principles class by answering all the questions which is alarming to us because I don't think investigators usually do that at church.

I see one of my MTC district budies here since he is in our zone. He sprained his ankle yesterday during P-day. Which reminds me, last week on P-day we went shopping at Costco which brought many memories of home. It was like the structure of Costco was the same as home. But we got lots of good deals there and I will think I will be good for the rest of the transfer. We also went to a Sushi buffe this P-day and for someone who didn't like seafood before my mission, it was really good. I loved it and we stuffed ourselves so much. I also learned how to use chopsticks there which was awesome!

I sent a letter home explaining more of what last week was. Hopefully it will get to you soon. Love you all! See ya!

WHOOOOOOOOOOO!

This week was pretty sweet. We actually got to talk to people since they got their school figured out and all. It was just an introduction to the missionaries. We just have the YSA ward. No family wards. Nada! Zipo! Just the YSA.

Anywho, we got a lesson with an investigator. Her name is Andrea and she had a ton of questions. Very deep questions and she is very knowledgeable! We talk about one subject and then she has a question about another and it was just crazy trying to keep up with her! Although we did answer most of her questions and invited her to read the Book of Mormon more. Hopefully, she will do that next time we see her.

We also got a referral from the Lethbrige zone leader in our area and we went over, but no one was there. We will check back with them sometime and see if he is still interested.

Elder Smith and I have been getting along quite smoothly. He is way better than my last companion. He has been out 15 months and is sweet! We find things in common and have plenty to talk about! Tis sweet.

The weather out here has died down for now, but they say it is going to be crazy again soon and it may get too crazy for us to go out. :/. Hopefully we won't get snowed in this week.

Anywho, that is all I got to say. Love you all! Bye!

Lethbridge's freaking crazy weather

Heyo!

What is going on out there? The weather out here is freaking crazy! It is so fetching windy here! It has, as they say, 60 km of wind and it is hailing as well here! It is so crazy!!!!!!!!!!!!! GAH!!!!! I guess this is what it means on Canada weather.

Real quick on the games I have mentioned: WE ONLY PLAY THEM ON P-DAY!!! I said my companion got me into it by talking about it. We didn't play it till P-day. It is ok.

Now, out here in the YSA ward, we don't go tracting. It isn't really effective out here. We usually just text the Young Adults and ask if we can come over and share a message. The investigators that we have have been busy or been gone. We are working with our ward council teach people and according to the people in Ward Council, some of their friends want to take the lessons. The problem is just getting the time because school is starting and it has been crazy for them. This week will be a good one though since everyone will be back. We only cover the YSA ward.

We do however go over to this less-actives house quite often and keep inviting him to activities and share spiritual experiences. It is amazing because they love us and try to come, but work is crazy for them, but we still try to be polite and keep inviting. 

I am going to have to get used to this weather pretty soon or else I may die out here! By the way, I did say my companions name in my last letter...-__-. Well, I got to go! Lots of stuff to do today. See ya.

New Area!

HEYO,

Yep, the subject of this email is right! I have been transferred to a new area and you probably do not know it. It is in West Lethbridge and HOLY FETCH it is cold and windy here! We are in charge of a YSA ward which seems backwards to me because my last area was mainly...old people. Here its just all my age. My new companion is Elder Smith which is way different than my previous two companions. My last two companions were athletic, jocky, and was somewhat in good shape. Here it is way different!! My companion is a huge nerd, geek, and is very smart! Plus my new zone is also nerdy. Well, it is split in half with Jocks and Nerd, but I hang out with both. My new companion got me into Dungeons and Dragons!

We do have one investigator here, but I haven't met here quite yet because she hasn't come home from the holidays. We have quite a bit of less-actives here though. One who is a very very very very very very nerdy person and knows a ton about video games. Like he knows so much, he could probably give you a history of it. You thought I knew a lot about video games? OOOOOOOOOO NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!

My cold is getting better. Still have a bit of it still and my nose is still stuffy at some times. NO biggy. My zone is really really close together which is nice because we see missionaries every day here and its so cool!!! They all like me and I like them as well!!!!

It is crazy to hear all that is going on in the ward back at home! So much change and it won't be the same when I get back! Wow! Then again, this is only the beginning of the change eh? I do want to admit something. Canada has successfully left an imprint on me. I have now begun to say "eh" a lot frequently now. :( It is not although with a Canadian accent so hopefully I won't pick that up.

Love you all and fight through this winter!

(This is Bishop Falconer and Sister Falconer! They were extremely hilarious as well and always made me bust out my hilarious laugh! They will be one of the people I will miss the most! I love these people so much)
