This week was pretty good. Elder Wood and I worked hard, and had a lot of fun times! Today we're exploring the west Edmonton mall. It's super cool! It's the 10 th biggest mall in the world. There's some cool stuff here.
Tuesday was good. After preparation day, we went and had supper and then talked to people on the street. We had a few good conversations, but no new investigators. Then we exchanged with Beaumont. But, before that, I saw something I didn't think I'd see again on my mission..... we saw the northern lights from our balcony in the city of Edmonton!!! I love the lights!
Wednesday was good. We had a lot of fun. The best part of the evening was visiting the Ackroyds and the Robanskes. Here both really cool families. Elder Meldrum knew the Ackroyds from one of his past areas! It was really neat. After all that we drove back to Exchange back, and we saw the lights again driving back to Edmonton!
Thursday was interesting. We had district meeting, which is fun. I enjoy giving the trainings. After district meeting we went bus contacting. We're not getting bus passes next month, so we're using them as much as we can for the next 2 days. After that we had supper with the Strongs, and then we had coordination with Beother Harris. It was a decent day.
Friday was less interesting. We did our weekly planning, and then we went bus contacting for a couple hours. We're not getting bus passes next month, so it was the last day that we could use them. So we did! Sadly, our lesson later in the afternoon canceled. So we went and knocked a few doors. Nothing too exciting happened.
Saturday was conference! It was awesome, I love General Conference. It was a lot of fun. I took Elder Wood to get poutine for the first time between sessions.... he loved it! Haha. All of Saturday was spent at the church for conference.
Sunday was also spent at conference. I love that we have living Prophets and Apostles to give us words of inspiration. If we follow their council, we won't go astray! We had supper with the Halliwells, and then we knocked some doors. It was a good day.
Monday was awesome. We went to the thrift store to volunteer. It was fun, as usual. Elder Wood and I are getting really good at sorting and hanging clothes! Haha. After that we had supper with the Gilsons. They're a super awesome family. It was a pretty fun day!
I really liked President Nelson's talk about joy. Joy is a choice, and the choice is to follow Christ. If you choose to follow Christ and live his teachings, you'll be happy! It's something that I've truly come to know on my mission. No matter what your circumstances are, you can be happy!

Ah yes, the past can hurt. But the way I see it, you can either run from it, or, learn from it.
