Hey family...
So another week has flown by, and now I have hit the 22 month mark. I can not believe it. Not to long ago I feel like I was out, 2 or 3 months. They just keep passing bye.. It makes it kind of difficult cause my companion goes home in 3 weeks. So obviously it is going to be on his mind. I just don't like it on mine. We are both trying really hard not to mention anything about it.
But, as for this week, we definitely had a trying one. It gets pretty frustrating, but obviously we need to learn something, or have certain trials, so we are just putting our faith in the Lord that everything WILL work out for the best. We are setting up appointments with new investigators all over the place. The problem is, when we go to teach the specific person, we have a hard time ever finding them where they say they will be. LIFE OF A MISSIONARY.... We had 19 lessons cancel on us this week. That is a few more then normal. haha. But the positive side we are getting out and working hard. Nothing better then going home at the end of the night knowing you did absolutely everything you could to help someone get to church, or feel the spirit, or whatever it may have been..
So good news this week, we got in a car accident. It wasn't to bad though. I was sitting in the back seat when it happened. And my eyes were closed. but all the sudden we hit the car in front of us. No one was injured. I did hit the seat in front of me pretty good. That was kind of funny. It was a head ache getting all the paper work to Elder Vellinga. We had to do that all today. We actually aren't even taking a p-day today, cause on Saturday we are going down to the Cardston Temple. I am so stoked. It will be good stuff. I love going down there. We are going with a member of the YSA ward he. He is sweet.
On Thursday our suit coats are back on. Unless it is 22 Degrees or hotter three days in a row. Once it hits the criteria, the jackets are back off. But knowing Canada, it won't get there. My days with just a white short sleeve shirt are veryyyyyyyy limited.
Mom I am glad you got everything set up with the Atwoods. They are awesome. I loved that family. It sounds like they will just be staying at the house for one night?
I hope all is going well with the Heaps. I have kept them in my prayers. It was sad to read about his accident last week. It is never fun to read those.
But, Terra congradulations!!!!!! That is awesome. I didn't find out until Tuesday when we put numbers in. That is exciting. When will you actually find out what it is? Before or after I get home?? Or I should ask, when COULD you, seeing that you may not find out? haha Wait, when is rachel due? I kind of forget these things when I don't really think about it until monday comes around..
I am sooooooooooo stoked to hear about Nick's mission call. I will get to see him for a week before He goes out. How cool is that?? Mom tell him to write me a letter, or get his address so I can write him one. That is so awesome. Nick and Max will be exactly a year apart. That is cool.. Good for them...
Well, We have four investigator lessons set up for this afternoon, so, we need to get back to work. Hopefully our faith is more sufficient this week and more or them happen. (We already had one cancel on us this morning....) I will be emailing on TUESDAY next week seeing that it is Labour day. So I will talk to Yall then... Love all of you...
