Hey everyone!
It seems like a lot happened this week so it has been nice. On Tuesday after P-Day we got a text from a former investigator named Nidel. She is in a rough spot in her life and realized that she was so much happier when she took the lessons from missionary's in the past. So we went over and visited with her and ended up giving her a blessing to help her during this time. So she is now a new investigator but the only thing is that she is super hard to meet with but we try.
Wednesday we helped move someone from another elders ward into our ward here. They had so much stuff and a lot of it still wasn't packed up there was a lot to do. We had a lesson with Susan and Japhet and we taught The Gospel of Jesus Christ. After we taught them we had dinner with some members who invited us to have dinner with Japhet and Susan. It was such a great time, definitely one fun and memorable dinner. They showed up in their full African clothes it was so cool. We ended up teaching Susan a couple of the commandments and invited her to baptism. She said that she wants to be baptized eventually but wants to learn more before she makes a decision. We encouraged her again to read the Book of Mormon and pray. It will come with time I know.
Thursday we did some service for a potential investigator named Jen. She had weeds as tall as me in her back yard, it was crazy. We had to make a big pile of all that stuff we were gonna throw away at the dump on Saturday. It was good that we could help her :)

Also it was Pyles's birthday so we went to lunch at Fatburger which was really good actually. Had some chicken finger poutine which was amazing. Also I lined up a special dinner with an amazing family in Copperwood ward named the Low's. So I surprised Pyles's with that and it was so cool. Had an awesome dinner plus his favorite cake which is Sheet cake. Oh also we had a lesson with Japhet about the priesthood since he was having his priesthood interview later that night, and he passed!!
Friday was kinda dead so we went contacting in the park and handed out a bunch of pass along cards. Japhet called us and said that Bishop gave him is membership record number (mrn) so we went to his place and set up his account with lds tools and stuff. He's literally one of my favorite people. He is so oblivious to anything we do, we on purpose try to see how many weird things we can do before he notices.. He never notices. Love the guy :) Also we got WiFi at his place so we love going there! Haha then we had dinner with the Courts who have a son going into the MTC on Wednesday to go to the Fort Lauderdale Florida mission. They are so awesome too, they got Pyles a birthday cake as well! Such a baller family.
Saturday was pretty dead for us as well, so we went contacting in the park and had no luck again. But hey, we're trying. We had dinner with the Klines (the returning members who took us to Waterton) and they had a birthday cake for Pyles! I'm not mad because I've had so much cake I'm loving it!
Sunday was pretty dang baller. So Japhet got up and bore his testimony which was awesome, it's a long story and I don't know how to write it so I'll send a video explaining it. Also he was ordained as a priest which was so cool to be apart of, I'll send a video explaining that gong show too. Monday we had DCM--not DTM any more, the new Preach My Gosple manual calls it a District Council Meeting, they changed quite a bit in the new PMG just to catch up with everyone using technology, plus they hadn't revised it since the book was released. Then we went to Taco Bell with zone leaders which was cool. Then we did service for Sister Konosky, which included shoveling gravel on her front lawn.. We spent 3 hours on it and I just can't wait for it. She's amazing though and we are gonna start teaching her friend soon!
Anyway that was my week.. A little more exciting that it has been recently! Love you guys and take care!
Love,
Elder Seanzee
