FEBRUARY 6TH, 2018




Hello Mom, Family and Friends!

First off.. HAPPY 60TH BIRTHDAY DAD!!!!! Haha!! Yeah you're right though.. stuffed peppers aren't my thing!  Mom, physical therapy does not sound fun at all.. but its good to hear that you can straighten your leg now . That's good at least! Good to hear that Grandma is doing well, I'm glad that she has pulled out of that as fast as she did.. that's really amazing! That pic of your poutine.. no.. that is not real poutine.. lol real poutine has normal fries, not those crinkle cut things! Haha!

This was good but can't wait to try in Canada :)
So the baptism for Saturday didn't happen.. the 9 year old boy is only here with his dad every other week, so we have to wait until next week to have our last lesson then the baptismal interview.. so it is now set for February 17th! We will see if that happens then, but it will happen eventually!  But yeah, we had quite the feast! The leftovers only lasted a day though which was kinda sad because it was so good!



Today is our once a month that we get to go into Lethbridge to the Wal-Mart and get our monthly shopping done!  I am going to look for a heated mattress pad today.  It gets cold at night! Lol

My scriptures look super good though! I'll attach pictures, but I also got a Book of Mormon study help book that is super helpful! Also got a Calgary temple tie bar!






 Regarding the weather.. I'm kinda starting to get use to the weather here but its still so cold here!!! The wind chill is what really gets me though.. like you said its like -4F but the wind chill makes it -20F!! Geez and I'm in southern Alberta! It's supposed to be warmer!



I can literally see Montana from here in Magrath!  We both love it here though, Magrath is like a mini Utah, the people here are so nice and willing to help.  Haha the people here have had too many missionaries to pay attention to how they eat. They all tell us that! But they offer peanut butter sandwiches with our meal if we don't see anything we like, which is nice but a lot of people here cook really good food so don't worry about me! I've actually gained 2 pounds while here! Lol!


I don't think I need anything else in my package..  The next time we get mail is when we go up to Calgary on the 16th for re-trainers so if it gets there by then, I should have it pretty soon! Or I'll have to wait until after my birthday.. so it might be a good idea if you are sending any birthday stuff to send it in this package! They only give us our mail like once a month!

 Nothing has really happened since last time I wrote.. we had a lesson with one of our other investigators, so that's one step closer right? The only day of the week that seems really long is Sunday! Haha from 7 in the morning to 4 at night its ward council meetings, sacraments, teaching Sunday school classes.. wow its a lot! It makes for a very long day! But in the end it's good, ward councils provide us a lot of info to go off of!

Send my love to Grandma Pat and Grandpa Arlen as well as Grandpa Gerald and Grandma Penny! Oh and Grandma Athalee and Arlene! And if dad talks to Grandpa and Grandma Snyder, tell them I'm thinking about them and hope they are still doing well! Hope all is well with everyone! And a big hello to the ward members :)

Love,
Elder Snyder
