So on Tuesday we did our normal P-day stuff. It was good. After that we drove halfway to Fairview to go on exchanges. I drove back to Dawson Creek with Elder Moeller. He's a great guy.
Wednesday we did a whole bunch of stuff. We stopped by a ton of people and found 6 new potential investigators! It was great. We had supper with Willie, and it was great. It was a really busy day.
Thursday we drove up to Fort St. John for District Meeting. It was a beautiful drive. I loved it. It was really good. After District meeting, we had lunch at Quiznos in FSJ. It's owned by the Ward mission leader up there, so we all got lunch for free. Pretty cool, eh? After that, Elder Hubner and I drove back to Dawson Creek, and had a lesson with Jonathan. It was an awesome lesson, and we were able to help address some of his concerns. He committed to pray about a baptismal date! It was really good.
Friday we did weekly planning. It was a really good weekly planning session. After that we went and visited Joe. He's such a cool guy. He's set a goal to make it to the Temple this year, so that's awesome. He's fantastic. Other than that, it was a pretty slow day.
Saturday we had a lesson with the Ward's. It went really well, and they committed to come to church for all 3 hours! The rest of the day was spent setting up lessons that will happen next week. It's going to be awesome!
Sunday was great. Church was awesome. After Church we went over to Heather's place, and brought her the sacrament. She's an awesome lady. After that, we went to have a lesson with Jeremy. It didn't go so well. A couple sentences in, and then he didn't want to hear anything else we were going to share and he asked us to leave. We left a copy of the Book of Mormon though. After that we drove out to Alberta to go to a potluck at the Cotillian city hall. It was fantastic. WE got to talk to quite a few people.
Monday was super busy. We helped Brother Otto put in a new window in his house, then we went to the Salvation Army Thrift Store to do some service, and then we went 0-3 on appointments in the afternoon. Nobody was home. Later we met Andy and Jamie, a couple of former investigators. They're awesome, and we might be starting to teach them soon. I'm stoked. After supper, we went and had a lesson with Donna, a Less active lady. She's awesome. We had a really good lesson on why we need a savior. After that we went and saw Amber. She's doing good, and we had a fantastic lesson on forgiveness. It was a really good day.
This week has been full of ups and downs. It's been really crazy. One thing that I learned this week is that we have to learn to appreciate what is around us. We need to stop and slow down every once in a while to look at the beauty all around us. I invite all of you who read this email to go watch the Mormon Message 'moments that matter most'. It is awesome. We have to take the time to appreciate the moment that we're in and take time to enjoy what we have. There's a quote that I love "All of them are in a big hurry to get from someplace stupid to nothing at all." It's from Guardians of the Galaxy. Take the time to enjoy the little things in life.
I love you all, and I hope you have a great week!
