Uhhhhhhh yeah


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!!
