Hey Mom and Family!
So on Tuesday was our amazing trip to Waterton! I talked about that in the last email so I won't get into that again! But we did also get our bikes fixed up at the Masons house which was super nice of them!
Wednesday was a pretty normal day, just had appointments with members in Sheran Park Ward, they are super nice people! Its actually kinda strange because they didn't take to the sisters and no one would sign up for dinners! But when they found out that Elders took over they have all been signing up to feed us! We are completely booked for June! Thursday we had a lesson with one of our investigators Japhet, he is progressing really well! Then we just had more appointments with members in Sheran Park.
Friday was pretty boring. The highlight was that we had dinner with our Stake President so that was cool. We also met even more awesome people here in Sheran Park! I'm convinced that Sheran Park is just awesome!
Saturday was super fun! We had a 8 year old baptism that we went to and we brought along Japhet and he loved it! I think he is beginning to understand why we do what we do, but he is the son of a Preacher so he is very religious. After the baptism we went to the Stake Sports Fest which was super fun! We got to meet a lot of cool people and play a lot of sports. We played badminton, softball, spike-ball, stuff like that! We also got to teach the stop smoking lesson to a members daughter who isn't a member. So far she is doing really well and not smoking! It really takes a lot to stop so I really admire her!
Sunday was the usual church from 7:30-4:30! We then had a amazing roast dinner with an older retired couple that was so good! The cool part of the day was being able to see the broadcast of President Nelson and his wife with Elder Rasband and his wife! They came to Raymond because his wife is from there! It was so cool to hear he message that he had specifically for the saints here in southern Alberta. He also left a special prophetic blessing on everyone there, so that was super cool! Then we had a correlation meeting with our ward mission leader in Crossings, and it was so fun! !
On Monday we had a lesson with another investigator named John. He is completely ready for baptism but he needs to get married to his common-law wife.. and he wants her to be baptized as well but she doesn't feel the same way as of right now..Later that night we went to a family home evening thing at the church, but no body showed up! It was depressing!
Today we went shopping and stuff for this next week. We are going to have 4 Elders staying at our apartment on Friday for zone conference because they are coming in from B.C. That's gonna be a gong show.. I have to hide my Mountain Dews! lol
Anyway It is good to hear about the things that are going on at home! I like being kept in the loop so keep doing that! I pray for you all everyday and hope you guys have opportunities to share the gospel with somebody! Something that I read this week that I absolutely love is Alma 58: 10-11! It talks about how through prayer we can gain strength and peace! I love it! Talk to you guys soon!
