Email from Elder Lofthouse 8/30/16 Down, Set, Hut!

  This week was pretty good. We had fun, and we worked hard. It's starting to feel like fall up here, and it's football season!  :)
 
Tuesday we had fun. We had supper at the Bennetts. They're pretty cool, and we helped move some bricks.  It was pretty good. After that we had a meeting with Bishop Moawad. After that we went on exchanges with Ellerslie. I went to Ellerslie with Elder Czech.
 
Wednesday was a ton of fun. Elder Czech is an awesome guy. We had a lot of fun. we went and knocked some doors, and then street contacted. We got to go to the Thrift Store and help out. After that we went and did some more street contacting. We had a lesson set up with a guy named Pat, but it fell through. After all that we had a really late supper, and then exchanged back.
 
Thursday was fun. We had district meeting in the morning. District meeting is always a fun time. After lunch we did 12 week, and then we went and stopped by as many people as we could. It was pretty good, but no one was home. As we were walking around, we met a less active member named Israel. He seemed pretty cool and said he was going to call us and have us over! It was awesome. We had supper with the Habings.  They're an awesome family. It was a lot of fun, and we got a couple referrals from it!  We had coordination at the end of the night with Brother Beck and Brother Harris. It was a really fun day.
 
Friday was alright. I woke up feeling icky, but it was weekly planning day, so it was pretty chill. After we ended weekly planning for the day, we went and tried by a bunch more less actives. We haven't gotten to see them yet, but it'll happen. After we knocked some doors, we ate supper. And then we had a lesson with the Johnstons, one of the families in the ward. Then we knocked on a few more doors. It was awesome.
 
Saturday was great. We had a lesson with Shawn. He's doing well.We're hoping to get him on date the next time we see him. It's going to be a lot of fun!  Then we went and saw Deanna. She's moving next week, so we helped her pack a little bit. It was good. After that we had lunch and then went and stopped by a couple people. Wait, before that we finished weekly planning. It was pretty good. We helped Sister Gregson take a whole bunch of stuff to Goodwill. It was a pretty good break from the normal stuff. After that we went and did splits with the YSA Elders. That's right, I got to go with Elder Hubner again!  It was awesome, and we got to see a couple families from Dawson Creek while we were together. It was an awesome evening. It was a good day.
 
Sunday was nice. We had Ward council in the morning. It's always good. After that we ate lunch, and went to church. Church is always fun. We had some good lessons. After church we did 12 week, and then we went to supper. It was awesome!  After supper we stopped by some people. We got to set up a time with the Demeyer-Carter family for next week, we set up a lesson with Fong next week, and then we set up a lesson with the Mannings next week. We also were able to have a lesson with Brother Fletcher.  He's pretty cool. It was a pretty good day, and we had fun.
 
Monday was awesome. We saw Deanna again in the morning. We got to meet her two sons, and we gave them a copy of the Book of Mormon. It was awesome!  After that we ate lunch, and then went to the MCC Thrift Store. We got to tag and hang clothes again. We were going to see Lori, but she cancelled again. Sad, eh?  We had supper with the Zemps, and then we went and helped someone move into the Ward. It was a fun evening!
 
This week was pretty cool. It's pretty amazing to see miracles happen when one tries to do the will of God. Being a missionary is super fun. It is the hardest thing I've ever done, but it's also the best experience I've ever had. I love it here in Canada!
