We Spoke English!!!

We Spoke English!!

Hey people, its been a while. How does one see light?

We'll start off with Tuesday since I already said 5 words from Monday last week!
We started with a service that we took another elders place in so they could go to the temple. And it was a 30 minute drive..
But we were there from 9am to 1pm, and spent the time building tents.. it was not very warm tents, but it was a tent(s).
- Then after the already 4 hours of service, we then had our weekly service to go to and spend 2 hours there. And I cut many onions (I didn't cry, and the Chinese guy there congrajumalated me!)
Then had a questionable dinner, but continued on with the night.

Wednesday would've been transfers, if any of us got transferred.

We also went downtown, and then we had to go pick something up that was time sensitive, and I have a high center of gravity, so I fell multiple times while trying to keep up a pace with Elder Pace.. Anyway if I get a concussion later on, this had something to do with it. (Also the ground hurts, in case your wondering) and had dinner with the Pierson's, we had German pancakes!

On Thursday, we went to a service past Sherwood Park, for 3 hours so we are now at 9/10 hours of service "allowed" in a week. And we did.. something there.. I couldn't tell you what we did, but we did something I think. Then we went to Costco for some lunch, and they were out of Ice-cream (disappointed)
And we also went downtown (can you believe it? It's the only thing we do)
And we had dinner with the Oviatt's and had pancakes! (They like their breakfast food for everything but breakfast)

On Friday, we had an average day. Where we had lessons planned, and then they all fall through, but one didn't and it was a 45 minute phone call and it was interesting..

On Saturday, We spoke English!!
It started at 6:42am, from a phone call from a missionary, named Elder Harris.
Who asked us to change our, Definitely busy morning to teach English Class with them (for part of it) so they could go to a service! And so we accepted!
- We also went to Tanzen and saw Uptown district (not as cool as downtown)
And then had a "lesson" with a friend named Ryan, who reached out to us!
That lesson, wasn't a lesson, because bro was already baptized, and going to YSA. But had questions that he likes to ask missionaries, so we talked to him about the Bible, BOM, and temple for 2 hours.. it was fun and a nice change to the day!
Then we had dinner with the Noad's!

Then on Sunday, we did normal Sunday things.. like going to Tim Hortons and getting a donut- I mean doing a lesson.. yeah! Sadly that lesson didn't happen as they ghosted us :( 
And later went to dinner to Sis. Lybbert's! Her and her 2 brothers all really like Zelda, a lot! And so for an hour we just talked about Zelda and all the games and consoles.. anyone like Zelda?

On Monday, we started the day by being at Macewan and doing Companionship Study there, then we eventually went back to the apartment were I almost died from Lunch :)
[(I'm not coming back that soon, I just got here) kinda joking with the dying part 😁]
We then went downtown again, walking around for 3 hours..
- Then we had a potential church tour, but it just turned to a weird interaction..

While waiting for our friend, a guy drives up, walks up to us (were thinking its our friend) we open the door. And he hands me a picture of jesus and says "here take this, i wont be needing it anymore" in a very rushed way. Then walks back to his car and leaves... very weird interaction... (idk what else to tell you, it's just weird)
Then we headed to dinner at Boston Pizza with a member from Elder Pace's area Barrhead.. (don't tell my District Leader)

Temperature: Low with wind chill was -38° (I can't wait for Summer, but also the days are getting longer so.. it's not all that bad). 
 
Please send me emails I'm lonely.

Things Happened/ Grandpa will like my photos!! :)

Things Happened / Grandpa will like my Photos!!  :-) Hi again, this week was an adventure! Almost of a life time! Because I will be back! MARK MY WORDS  Monday- Not much happened, I was recovering from the sickness last Sunday. And it was p-day with no sports happening.  But we did have dinner with the Lee's! Tuesday- We had interviews with the mission president at the stake centre that was 30 minutes away, but there was a Chick-fil-A on the way so we carefully and tactical planned our route to go to Chick-fil-A before the interviews for lunch. Had interviews, President's favorite Ice-cream flavor is Rocky Road! And on their mission board I found someone who served in Albuquerque back in 2010! We then had dinner with the Salter's! Bro. Salter is a funny guy, saying that butter is bears grease and honey is bee barf! Then went to the Rec Centre to play some floor hockey! Wednesday- We had District Council of all guys! (The sisters left our district) Then we helped with some...

Pots, Pots, and more pots....

Pots, Pots, and more Pots...   Hello wonderful Americans,   I'm realizing I'd rather be learning Samoan, then be here in the cold.. This week hasn't been all that exciting until we get to the weekend. But for now, the beginning just had some lessons, more snow, more cold, some member dinners and such. Normal missionary stuff in the Great White North. With all the snow, roads are getting slick and parking lots just have crunchy snow in them. But yet I have not seen a single snow plow truck yet, which is quite surprising. I'm also finally starting to get into being a missionary, as it doesn't feel like I'm struggling to get through each day anymore. It honestly feels like it was only 2 or 3 days ago that I sent my last email. Which is good, and hopefully it will speed up to months instead. So far this week I've been to 3 baptisms!! Neither of them I would've actually gone to, because they're not part of my area. As for the title, I've done lots of ...

Nature Walks by the River Hi.  Invite your friends! (To something, maybe my emails??) Monday We went Thrifting for our District sports.... But we got Costco! Woo! Then went shopping woo! We had dinner at McDonald's and got a kids Happy meal toy which was a Minecraft Bee! Buzz buzz! 🐝 Tuesday We went to a service, and our weekly service had us make cookies and help with pudding! Then did more service with helping a member of Strathcona move in to a part of town that is not within Strathcona boundaries.. (it's fine, I think) But went to a Peta Bake place which was good! We did some stopbys and got in contact with some people, then had dinner at the Pierson's! Wednesday Honestly not really sure what happened today.. But we got Krispy Kreme donuts for District Council  +5 points for District Leader! After collecting the donuts, but before the Council comes forward to decide who has to leave the island... We went on a little lunch excursion with the Manderin Elders Harris &...
