Are we sure it has been a week? It feels like two days.
Seriously. I also have about two days worth of updating to do. This letter
should be awesome. :)
Nothing happend this week. Well, I shouldn't say nothing but
pretty close to nothing. We did a ton of street contacting and tracting. No one
wants to listen to us. Not even our investigators. We called and called and
called and no one would set an appointment with us. GRRR. We had a bunch of
"I'm not sure what my schedule is like. Call me tomorrow. I'll know
then." Then when we call they don't answer. Its super fun. So we
didn't teach at all this week. We did, however, find some people who were
interested in meeting with missionaries. The sad part is that they all live out
of our area. Sigh...city work.....I'll get over it. We have found investigators
for every area around us but can't seem to find one for ourselves. We found a
few less interested people that we are going to follow up with this week. Cross
your fingers!! I really want to teach consistently. Someday. :) I love how Liam
always closes his emails with "pray for my investigators." I am going
to start closing with "pray that we'll have investigators."
So that is about all that happened this week. President Scott
has instituted a "Car Fast" every Thursday. The idea is to get us out
of the car and out finding people. We don't schedule appointments for that
day and we either walk or ride the bus so that we can talk to as many
people as we can. Its a great idea and is aimed toward the missionaries
who teach a ton and just drive from appointment to appointment. That obviously
is not a problem for us really and it just means we walk to where we tract and
street contact. It was pretty fun and I am looking forward to when its snowing
on a Thursday. :)
It hasn't really
snowed here yet....disappointing. We had a day last week when there were a
couple tiny tiny flakes for like two minutes and that was it. Hopefully we'll
get some soon and I won't regret saying this. I just love winter and
snow=winter.
That really is all. Slow week makes for short email. I love you
all. I hope you are having a wonderful day/week and that the odds will be
ever in your favor. Or whatever :) Read, Pray, Do good things!
Love,

P.S. I thought of
something else I want for Christmas. Scarves.
P.P.S. Pray that we'll
have investigators! ;)
Canada Fact: I am kind
of running out. there just aren't enough things. Did I already use the milk in
bags thing? I think so. That one is really, really weird. Yesterday was
"Remembrance Day" and everyone wears red poppies to support
the veterans. It is a neat tradition for sure. That's not really
weird but it is fact nonetheless.
Luvs!!
