This week has been pretty good. We had some good things happen. We had some interesting things, but it was all good!
Tuesday we had supper at the Poulins place. The Tagalog missionaries came as well, so it was fun. Our lesson with John fell through again, so that was sad. Hopefully tonight we'll see him!
Wednesday was fun. We helped out George in the morning, and met a really cool guy named Kyle. He is pretty interested in what we do, but he took off before we could get any information from him. We gave him our number, though. After that we had lunch with Vivian. It was fantastic, as usual. After lunch we tried by a bunch of people, but to no avail. We had supper with the Leafs. They're a great family. After that we had a lesson with Sister Reid, and she told us that she is going to get her patriarchal blessing soon! It was great. After that we visited the Saunders. Sister Saunders loves to sew, and she told us she was going to make us som lava-lavas. I'm so stoked! It was a really good day!

Thursday we had ZTM in the morning. It went well, and it went very smoothly. After ZTM Elder Taylor and I stayed in Sherwood Park for exchanges. We walked around in the afternoon talking to people and stuff. After supper we visited Brother Kohn. It was a really good discussion on President Nelson's talk from this last conference. It
was a stellar day.
Friday we went to dream catcher in the morning. We got to meet Wanda, a new baby goat that they have. It was awesome. The rest of the day was basically spent driving. We drove back to Vermilion for exchanges, and then came home. Elder Taylor forgot his bedding here in Sherwood Park, and Elder Kamea forgot his toiletries in Vermilion. So we drove back to Sherwood Park, did some weekly planning, and then drove back to Vegreville and got the stuff where it needed to be. All in all it was a long day.

Saturday we had a meeting with Brother Voravong. It was really good. After that we went and we helped the Fixsen family move in. We now have 3 Fixsen families in the Clarkdale Ward. Haha. After that we planned and then we knocked some doors, but no one was home. It was a slow day.
Sunday was awesome. We had choir after lunch. They have a piece that a men's choir will be singing next week, and they asked us to help. I'm super excited. Church was awesome. We had a less active member come to church with his 2 nonmember kids over 9 years old. They all want to learn more! We set up a lesson with them and the Heningers invite them and us to supper. So we had the lesson with them at the Heningers place. It was incredible. Miracles really do happen! Things are starting to pick up!
Monday was super cool. We went to the foodbank in the morning. It's always a pretty good workout when we go there. After that we had a lesson with Brother Pedersen! It was awesome. He said he wants to come back to church! It was awesome. We went and knocked on a few doors later, and we found a lady who told us to come back next week. I'm so stoked! It's crazy, the stuff that happens when you keep on working! Good stuff is coming!
This week was awesome. Elder Kamea and I learned a valuable lesson. Whenever you have goals. You cannot lower your expectations. When you have a dream, and you lower your sights, you'll never make it. Always aim the highest you possibly can. I know that God will help you as you set goals and keep the commandments. He wants us to succeed just as much as we do, and He knows what's best. So it's a good idea to trust in God, and follow his plan for us!
