Email from Elder Lofthouse 11/15/16 Temple Day!

This week was incredible!  I loved it!
     
On Tuesday we went to launchpad. It's a trampoline park that's owned by a member here in Hillview. It was awesome. After that we played sports, and then we had supper at the Halliwells. It was really good. After that we went and knocked some doors, and then exchanged with mandarin.
     
Wednesday was good. Elder Yu was with us. It was a good day. We had a lesson with Shawn, but he wasn't able to make it. So we went and did some language study, and then we had lunch and went and bus contacted. It was awesome. We had supper with the Wrights, and then we went and walked around a bit. It was a good day.
     
Us with Magnus and Izaak

Thursday was awesome!  We had a lesson set up with Ayan, but she wasn't home. After that we had ZTM. Which was really weird, because it was my last ZTM. Weird eh?  Also that day, I got my flight plans. So it was a really weird day for me. It was good, though. After ZTM we went and had a lesson and a meal with Nivee and Atul. It was awesome, and then after that we went back to the church for the baptism of Magnus and Izaak. It was awesome. There were so many people that came to support them, it was incredible!  It was an awesome night.
     
Friday was awesome as well. We had a lesson with Shawn.  As it was remembrance day,  we read Alma 46 with him. It was awesome. Right after that we went to Tim Hortons and had a lesson with Mizan, a new investigator. He wanted us to bring him a bible, and we talked about the Plan of Salvation and gave him a Book of Mormon as well. It was an awesome lesson. We had lunch, and then we went and visited Brother Blanchet.  That was awesome as well. We listened to the talk "To whom shall we go" by Elder Ballard. It was so fun!  After that we went and stopped by Ayan again, but she wasn't there. Sadly. Then we went and had supper with Sister Gregson. It was awesome, we had some super good Chinese food. Then we went and had a lesson with the Robanskes. It was an awesome day!
     
Saturday we were on exchanges. Elder Richens came with Elder Lara and I. We had an interesting day. We went bus contacting and street contacting and tracting and all that stuff. We had supper with the Carters. It was awesome. I love the Carters. It was a pretty good day.
     
Sunday was awesome. We had meetings the whole time before church, and then we had church.  Then we had a potluck after church....  yeah.  It was pretty good. The Guzmans came!  They're a less active family we were working with in our last area.  It was awesome. I loved it. At the end of the day we stopped by Fong, but she wasn't home. It was a pretty good evening.
     
Monday was crazy. And kind of boring. We had to get our apartment sprayed for cockroaches....  not fun. So we prepped it and then we had to wait to let the exterminator in, but he was about 3 hours late...   not fun. Again.  Then we had supper with the Baldersons, which was a lot of fun!  We had a good time knocking on doors, and met 3 people who want us back. Cool, eh?
     
This morning we went to the Temple. I love the Temple. I hope that everyone who has a chance to go on a regular basis goes regularly. It is a wonderful place to learn and find answers to your questions.


Have a great week!
Elder Rusty Lofthouse
