Tuesday is always fun. P-day is a very fun day. We did the normal stuff, and then we had supper with the Becks. Our appointment for that night cancelled, so we helped Brother Beck fix one of the brakes on his car, and then we went bus contacting. It's pretty fun, bus contacting is.Wednesday we had ZTM. It was a pretty good meeting, but I get so bored during meetings. I know, they're necessary, but I'd rather be out talking to more people. That's just me, though. After ZTM we ate supper, and then we went street/Trail contacting. There's a really cool walking trail that extends from one end of our area to the other, so we walked down that and talked to people. It was awesome. That took up the rest of the day.
Thursday was interesting. We didn't have district meeting, due to ZTM the day before. We walked around a little bit in the morning, and stopped by a few potential investigators. We had lunch after that, and then we went on Brother Joseph's house, and he introduced us to a bunch of his neighbors. It was super cool. After that we walked back to the church, and then drove to supper. We had supper with the Spanish missionaries. It was a really good supper. After supper not a whole lot happened.
Friday was pretty good. We did our weekly planning in the morning, and then we went and helped Sister Strong clean up the Anderson's yard. They've been going through some rough times right now, so we helped them out. While we were there a really angry guy came up to us and asked us who we are, and then he stormed inside the house... it was interesting. After that we went and knocked a few doors, and then ate supper. After supper we went to a lesson with the Meadows Sisters, and it was pretty rough. The guy we were teaching only wanted to bash. It was really hard for me not to jump in with both feet and start going... but I Didn't! It was good. After that Elder Wood went to a lesson with Elder Hubner, and Elder McWilliams and I drove to Leduc to exchange with the ZLs. Then Elder Klunker and I drove back, and we met up with Hubner and Wood. Elder Wood and I then went home!
Saturday was really interesting. We did our studies, and then we had a lesson with Shawn. It was a really good lesson. I'm super excited for him to keep progressing like he has. I love teaching him. After our lesson we went and stopped by some people, and then we went to a baptism. After the baptism we walked to supper, but then she wasn't able to feed us, so we got the food, and bussed home so that we could eat. It was a pretty good meal. It was an interesting day.
Sundays are always great. We had Ward Council in the morning, and then we went and invited a bunch of people to church. We met a guy that we're going to start teaching soon named Joseph Smith! How cool is that? Haha. So we went to church, and then we went and stopped by a bunch of Less Active members. We met the Ackroyd family. They're awesome, and we scheduled another appointment with them next week! That was the rest of our night.
Monday was fun. We had another lesson with Shawn. He's just awesome. After that we ate lunch, and then we went to the MCC Thrift Store for service. It's a lot of fun, going there. After that we went to the library to meet with Romadon, but he didn't show up... :( but we found out he got called into work, so it was okay. After that we had supper with the Kenworthys. They're an awesome family. The end of the night we stopped by a bunch of potentials. It was a good day.
This week I learned that sometimes we just have to keep going. Even if we don't see anything like success, if we have faith, we'll be able to keep going. Faith is the key to successful life. We have to have faith that eventually things will work out. The only time you will actually lose at life is if you quit, and you stop trying. Don't ever stop trying!
Have a wonderful week!

Nothing can stop us now from what we will become
'Cause there's a power in belief
This is the power of belief
