Hey Everyone!
I am now in the Foothills zone, covering the Woodbine and Evergreen wards. We purged in the area so we had to really start fresh and plus the previous elders didn't really leave us with much info or investigators to work with. Elder Greenwell and I are working hard to get to know the members of both wards. E. Greenwell is from West Point, UT ansd has been out 16 months. He is a nice kid and a hard worker. We have a lot of stuff to do in this area and it will keep us busy for awhile. This Tuesday we are going to go on exchanges and I'm going back to my first area in Parkland to teach a lady who apparently already has a baptismal date. But here's the deal, she lives in our area, so we are going to slowly move her and get her fellowshipped into one of the wards. (I'm not sure which one she belongs to.) This is exciting for us. That was my week...just trying to get adjusted to the new area and new companion.
I do miss Lethbridge a lot...the members were awesome and so were the Owens. I'm still trying to adjust not being there. I haven't seen Elder Dana yet. I will let you know when I see him.
Things you can send with the Eikenberry's when they come up: a bean and cheese burro enchilada style from Gecko Grill, snickerdoodles, and a newspaper (kidding!), and some Chalula hot sauce. When are they coming up?
Well that's it for now and don't forget my P-day is Monday now.
I love you all and miss you tons!

Hey all,
Soo guess what? I'm getting transferred back to Calgary in the Foothills Zone in the Woodbine and Evergreen wards. Elder Nelson, my last comp in Parkland, had served there before he served with me, and he had nothing but good things to say about it. So I'm stoked about that.
How are things going this week? Long week, but not in a bad way at all. The week before transfers always is long. This week was really good and we taught a few non-members! This last Sunday we taught Bro XXXXX's sister in-law again. We were going to teach her about the plan of salvation, but instead we taught her about the importance of baptism and also answered questions on the BOM. She still has a ways to go. We also taught some people who used to be members; but they were kind of "forced" into the church and they took their names off the records. It won't count as a convert baptism for us but it's all good. Last night, we taught a kid who just turned 20. He has a lot of questions and I think he will progress, but because he is 20 he is YSA and will be taught by those elders.
That's cool that Casey, Erik and Zach came over. Yeah, I do have a cushy mission haha Just this last Saturday night a member gave us a ride home in his father-in-law's car, a Lexus Ls 460. This car was amazing! It had recliners in the back seats and a back massage in the back left seat haha It is 100 grand plus car. It was pretty cool.
Congrats on your 23rd anniversary Mom and Dad! We are having a tie trade today. I'll tell ya whatI got next week ha.
Well, I love you all and miss you. Have a great week!

Hey all! Well another week come and gone, and this last week was pretty good. It had been raining here till yesterday morning, which is good because it is dry up here and they need it. But with the rain came a few centimeters of snow on Saturday morning..... thankfully it was gone by lunch.
We have so many people that are so close to being taught, and hopefully we will be teaching some peps this next week! Yesterday we went on exchanges and I went with Elder Bond who is a Spanish elder. It was cool to get a change of scenery and meet some of the Spanish people even though I didn't understand a thing. It made me wish that I had learned it haha! Next week, hopefully, we have some people we are teaching!!!
I love you all and miss you tons!

Q: Tell me about the limo ride. Who were the members? Why were they in a limo in the middle of the day?
A: The limo ride was sweet it was like an hour before we saw Elder Owens. The driver was a member and there were some members of 12th in there. It was sweet they gave us a ride.
Q: Are you going to go through withdrawals when they transfer you out of there?
A: yes.......
