Hello Everyone,
So I realized that yesterday was my 8 months day... That means next month will be my half way point.... Thats terrifying... haha.. I like the missionary world a lot. Thinking about God all the time is quite enjoyable. haha.
Well... Some interesting things happened this week. First off. I totally got the package that mom sent me.. haha... I LOVE THE DRESS YOU MADE MOM!!!!!! I especially love the hearts on the hem. You're new sewing machine is apparently really fancy to be able to hem a dress with a bunch of hearts... haha... but even more than that, i love the 143 that you sewed as the tag!!!! haha!!!! oh man... so awesome... It fits too... Well... If i lost the weight I've gained, it would fit better. But its more motivation to actually exercise every morning instead of just laying in the middle of the living room floor trying to wake up. hahaha.... But I love it.
Also... When you send chocolate in an insulated lunch bag, the chocolate still melts. haha... the Smarties are fine, but the chocolate chips still arrive as a chocolate wad. haha.... Same difference though. It still tastes fine!! I love mail.... My letter drought I've been experiencing was broken by a package!! WOOT!!!!
So there's a new family that moved into the Ward here from Oregon... But before that, they came from Raymond, AB! So I was like... hmmm... I wonder if they know the Yawney's from Banff (the family I lived with for a bit)... Sure enough!!! They totally do!!! The woman's name is Jacklyn Bridge, but her maiden name is Edwards. She has a son that's 2 or so and a baby girl that's not a year old yet. So Mark and Jody, she says hi!!! It's pretty cool that I can still find connections to home (I kinda consider Banff my home too). I know I've said this before, but it's incredible how many people down here have actually been to Banff, or at least have heard of it. haha..
Also... I dunno if I've ever told you, but every friday afternoon, Sis David and I go to this assisted living place for old people and call out Bingo numbers for them for an hour or so... Its pretty much the most awesome service that we can do!!! The old people there love us, and we have so much fun. I've pretty much adopted this man, Bruce as my grandpa. Every week he gives us a soda....errr... pop...... and makes sure that we're all set for the week. He's awesome, and he keeps us all laughing. Last week, he hadn't won a single game, and we were on our last game before leaving and he started growling at us because we weren't calling the right numbers... hahahaha... He's hilarious. Anyways.. the point of this story is that on Monday we were tracting and the whole morning had been pretty cruddy, so we weren't really in that good of spirits. So we knocked on the door to this one house and nobody was there, and there was a car parked in the driveway beside us, and we see this hand reaching up out of the passenger side door waving at us and tapping on the top of this car trying desperatly to get our attention. We thought whoever it was was either waving us off, or really wanted to see us... so we went up to the passenger side, and it was totally BRUCE!!! haha!!! He was sooooo excited to see us, and he was trying sooooo hard to get our attention so that we would come say hi. oh man... Totally made our day. I guess his daughter is a Real Estate agent and she takes him out to go driving from house to house every once and a while. It was such a tender mercy. haha.. We were placed on this street so that we could meet up with Bruce, and remember how much the Lord loves us and also to lift our spirits to help us with tracting. :) Pretty much it was awesome.
Sis Davis was pretty sick for a couple days this week though. She's a "recovering" vegetarian. haha.. she decided 6 months before her mission that if she was gonna be a missionary, she didn't wanna have people deal with making vegetarian meals just for her. It was pretty considerate though. But one day, she went overboard on the meat consumption, and it did NOT sit well with her. So she was basically out of commission until all that meat had worked its way out of her body. It took 2 days... Moral of the story.. Never stop eating meat!!! haha... So those two days were pretty uneventful. I did a lot of reading. haha..
So that's email worthy events for this week... Right after this email, we're going to go bowling!!! WOOT!!! I'm so excited. This is gonna be the p-day of awesomeness... before we go bowling, we're totally gonna go get bagels too.. soo excited... haha...
Anyways... Love you... Keep up the awesome... And I'm glad to know that Clarke and Cecilia have a condo and not a baby yet. hahaha... *whew* Travel safe Mom and Dad, and dont burn down the house Ian. :)
