This week was super fun. We saw a lot of miracles, and it was awesome!
   
Tuesday evening we had supper with the Baldersons. They're a super cool family, and we had some really good curry. Sadly, our appointment canceled on us in the evening, so we didn't get to see her.

Wednesday was super cool. We had a lesson with Shawn. He's on date for August 27!  We had a really good lesson on the Plan of Salvation.  I love the Plan of Salvation. It puts everything into perspective, and helps us know why we're here. After that we had wings at Boston Pizza for lunch..... :)  after lunch and some administrative stuff, we had a lesson with Curtis. He's another investigator. The Tagalog Elders had been teaching him, b cause he didn't want to meet with Sisters, but now we're here, so he's ok to meet with us. We had supper with Brother Carter. He's super awesome. The rest of the evening was uneventful.
   
Thursday was pretty fun. District meeting went way better than I thought it would. So that was good. In the late afternoon we went to Sister Muñoz' place and helped her make supper.  We made papusas!  I love em!  We helped her make those, ate them, and then we went to Ward coordination. It was good, and we have a lot of people that we're trying to work with. It was a good meeting. After that we exchanged with Leduc. Elder Baldridge came here with Elder Wood and I.

Friday was super cool. We did our studies in the morning, and then we helped the Ellerslie Elders with a move. We did that for a little bit, and then we stopped by a bunch of Less active members. We met Ray, who talked to us for about 45 minutes on the porch.  He's a pretty cool guy. Then we met the Hughes family. They have got to be one of the coolest families I have ever met. They invited us in, and we had supper with them. It was awesome. They're a super funny family. After that we had a lesson fall through, again. It was still an awesome day.

Saturday we went to a baptism!  The Lakewood Sisters had a baptism. We invited Shawn, and he came!  He loved it. The rest of the day was weekly planning, and then we went to another baptism. I got to see Elder Kamea again!!  It was just a super fun day.

Sunday we had Ward council in the morning. It was really good. The Ward here is just solid. It's going to be a lot of fun serving here. After church we had supper with the Becks. It was really good.

We did have a lesson lined up for that evening, but again, it fell through. Sad, eh?

Monday was a lot of fun. We went to the MCC thrift shop and volunteered for a couple hours. It was a lot of fun. Then we went to Sister Ackroyd's place for supper. It was really good. This area is a lot of fun.
   
 I've learned this week that if we move forward, and don't look back, life is amazing. God is always on our side when we are trying to do what's right. No matter what, always choose the right.
