This week was less stellar than last week, but it was still a super fun week.
Tuesday we had supper with Bishop Palmer and his family. It was pretty sweet. After that we went and knocked a few doors, and went home. Nothing too exciting.
Wednesday was pretty fun. We had interviews with President Pattison. He's an awesome guy. It was a good chat. After that we went and did some street contacting and knocked some doors. It was pretty good. Then we went to Soda Jerks with Elders Hubner and Bullock. It was awesome. I love Soda Jerks. I'm definitely going to miss that place when I'm gone. After that we were going to have a lesson with the Robanskes, but they weren't available. Sad, eh? It was a decent day.
Thursday was fun. We had district meeting in the morning. After that I did some My Plan. Yes, it was the dating and marriage section... it was interesting. After that we went on exchanges with the Ellerslie Elders. Elder Johnston came with Elder Lara and I. It was awesome. We had a ton of fun, and we got quite a lot done. Nothing super amazing, but it was good.
Friday was good. We had a pretty decent morning, and then we went and got Elder Woodruff and Richens and went to Soda Jerks for lunch.... again. It's so good! After lunch, Elder Woodruff, Lara, and I did some weekly planning. It was pretty good, and then we went and knocked some doors and had supper. It was pretty good. Then, later that night we went on ANOTHER exchange with the Zone Leaders. Elder Bonny came with Elder Lara and I. Yes, Elder Bonny is also from Elk Ridge. We finally got the Ridge Boys together! Haha. It was awesome.
Saturday was awesome. Elder Bonny is a stud. We went trail contacting in the morning. Surprisingly enough, there were actually people on the trail! It was cold and snowy, but we went anyway, and there happened to be people. It was awesome. Then we went to the Gurdwara and got lunch. After lunch we went and contacted a few potentials and knocked doors along the way. It was pretty good. We were out doing that in the cold for a couple hours. It was awesome. I love the cold! After supper we had a lesson with the Robanskes, and then exchanged back. It was an awesome day.
Sunday was good. Magnus and Izaak were confirmed! Magnus got the Aaronic priesthood as well. It was an awesome day. After church we went and knocked a few doors and then went to supper with the Kenworthys. Then we knocked some more doors... it was pretty good. We found a few potentials. It was a good day!
Monday was awesome. We were going to go to the MCC, but craziness happened. We got a call from the assistants in the morning telling Elder Woodruff to pass his bags. He got sent to Leduc with Elder Johnston. Super weird. Later in the day we got Elder Rousseau. For my last two weeks of my mission I'll have another companion! Pretty sweet, eh? We had a sweet lesson with Skye later in the evening. It was awesome. It was a super sweet day!
This week was really good. I love being here in Canada. I'm going to miss it a ton when I leave. I know that Jesus Christ is our Savior. I wouldn't be knocking doors in the cold in Alberta if I didn't know it! I love how the gospel can change lives for the better. It's amazing!
Love you all!
