Hey everyone! Well this last week was the last week of the transfer for us, and I'm not going anywhere, neither is my comp. For the most part it was kind of a slow week. It has been hard for us to get around our area because it is half Kilometer month. We normally get 1400, but now we have 700 just for the month of July. It happens to everyone. This last week we have been trying to set lessons up with members; teaching some members and trying to get them to invite there friends! What made the week though was that our lone investigator came to church and she loved it! She is way solid. The only crappy thing though is that she is going to Vancouver for 3 weeks....... so that will slow things down a bit, but oh well. So that's basically been our week work-wise haha

Yesterday we got a huge thunderstorm that rolled through and we got a lot of rain and some flash flooding in some places. Nothing affected us, but we played in the rain haha We were with the zone leaders at the time...it was fun haha I will send you pics once they send them.

Well I love you all and have a great week!!!

Love,

Elder Moore

P.S. Check out the picture of Elder Moore with the Prime Minister of Canada, Stephen Harper.

Elder Moore was visited by Clark and Linda E. from our home ward who delivered a package from his parents. He loved the new ties and the treats. A huge thank you to Clark and Linda for taking time out of their vacation to visit with Elder Moore.From L - R: Linda; her cousin, Judy; Elder Moore; Elder Greenwell

Well not much happened for us this week.... I got sick again! It hit me on Tuesday afternoon and all day Wednesday. I was better in time for Zone Conference. Then my companion, Elder Greenwell, got sick right after Zone Conference and was sick all day Friday. So there wasn't much missionary work done this last week. For the people we did get into, we taught them some good lessons and gave some 7-day challenges. We need people to teach! Zone conference was good and inspiring as they always are. Before the new Calgary Temple is done they want us to baptize a stake! That's about 2,600 people between now and July of 2012. They feel that a new stake in Calgary is needed to make sure people attend the temple in the numbers they want. The goals are pretty lofty but they can be done if we work diligently. The wards I'm serving in are pretty cool and they treat us very well. We still are trying to bring member trust back up and are having some success at that. Well I love you all so much and miss ya!! I am glad that I'm not in the heat right now, Especially serving a mission in heat would not be fun. The hottest it has gotten here is about 86F ha. Have a great week!!

Love

How goes it everyone?

Well after some bland weeks, things finally started to pick up and some fun stuff as well! To start off the week, we were just doing the normal stuff... teaching a few members and still trying to get to know some members. Then on Thursday we got a call from the Parkland Elders (my first area) to go on exchanges and teach a lady who lives in Woodbine. So I went with Elder Snell to Parkland and taught an English lady who is way solid and has a huge desire to learn more. We taught her the first half of the first lesson, but we didn't get through all of it because she had to go. We did give her a baptismal date for the 21st of August! Unfortunately, she didn't come to church. We have to teach her the importance of attending her meetings ha. Her daughter might also be interested! In addition, we got a call from a guy who wants to be taught and is the grandson of a lady in Evergreen. The work is really taking off!

On Friday, I got to meet Linda and Clark Eikenberry (hope I spelled that right). I got the package and we visited for a little bit. She showed me pics of Grant by their fish pond ha! I miss that little guy!

On Saturday, there was a Stampede breakfast in Braeside (they have these things all over the city during the Stampede). It is a community in the Evergreen ward and about 1,500 people showed up to it. We helped set it up and take down. During the breakfast we had a special guest show up to flip pancakes and turn sausage. It was the PRIME MINISTER OF CANADA!!!!!! I have pics but I forgot them this week, so I will send some next week. Anyway, he was a way nice guy and it was sweet to see him in person. Right before he left, six of us got to take a picture with him. He was way cool with us. So that was my week! Definitely a lot more going on this week! (Editor's note: Here is a link if you want to take a look at Stephen Harper, the PM, serving breakfast...http://www.flickr.com/photos/pmwebphotos/4780890515/in/set-72157624466378564/)

I love you all!!!

Happy 4th of July everyone!!

How are things? Missed an email from you guys! (Editor's note: His dorky parents keep forgetting his P-day is now on Monday. But we caught him online and sent him an email. Guilt guilt!) haha its all good you are probably still at the ranch.

Well this week was alright for us. We are still trying to get to know the members and the area. We can see the member trust starting to rise and get better, but we still haven't been able to teach anyone. We are waiting for some one to be handed over to us so we can teach her and get her fellowshipped in our area. We also have a couple of potentials that we might be able to get hold of and teach. So those are some of the things that we are hoping for. For Canada day there was a stake thing and it was really fun, lots of people were there and it was a good time. For the 4th we didn't do a thing..... but, oh well, haha. Well I have to run. I love you guys so much!!! Have a great week!

Hows it going everyone? This week for me was alright, we are still working on meeting all of the members in both wards and setting up lessons with them. We had a few appointments this week with some members that went pretty good. There are some potential investigators that we have been stopping by as well, but to no avail... once we get to know the members we will try and get them to start doing missionary work! It will take some work on our part to get them really missionary-minded. That basically has been our week, not too much going on. I love you all!!

How is the investigator doing that committed to baptism? How exciting?

Well the appointment that we had last week to go on exchanges fell through, so we are waiting for another appointment, then we can get her taught and fellowshipped in our area!

Where are you living?

We are living with the McCollums in their basement. They are way nice people.

Do you have a car?

yep we do. Our area is pretty big, about three times the size of my area in Lethbridge. We will be walking a lot in July, because it is half k month.

What kind of service projects are you doing?

We go do service at a community center every Friday. We just help out with things like mowing the lawn and other random stuff. This last Saturday we helped a member move.
