14 months.....where does the time go? It was a pretty good week, we had a lot of less active lessons and even got 2 to show up for church! It was pretty sweet. The guy I was telling you about last week came again to church. Lucky for him, he got to hear me speak! haha I gave a talk this week in church on the ministry of Christ focused on the Atonement. Giving talks isn't as nerve racking as it used to be. We had a cool experience with a less active lady who smokes like a chimney and has lots of health problems. The spirit was strong in the lesson. We taught her about trials of faith and growing your faith. To top it off, we gave her a blessing. Another less active lesson..we taught him about faith and the importance of coming to church, and he came!! We are still working to get lessons with our investigators. We had a couple set up this last week but they either no showed or called to cancel. We have a few set up for this week, so we will let you know how it goes.

This last week we had zone conference in Taber which is just over an hour west of Medicine Hat. It was probably one of the best zone conferences so far on my mission ( besides when Elder Bednar came in March). A lot of what president trained us on was how to become better missionaries or the "4th Missionary" which was a talk given by someone I can't remember right now, but I'll get it to ya. It is a sweet talk on giving your heart to the Lord and becoming immersed in the work. The Assistants gave a training on Spirit recognition when we teach lessons which was sweet. The church is definitely true, the spirit is so strong out here it is amazing.

It finally snowed! Winter has started... I'm not too happy, it is starting to get pretty cold as well. What does stink is that we are in a car share and that means we have the car every other week. Thankfully, we have it this week but it is supposed to get colder next week. :Like -25c (-13F) which equals very cold ha. As I'm typing this it is snowing with a temp of -9c (15F).

Bummer that Perry lost to Marcos... can't wait to see tapes of Connor's games. Heard the Suns beat the Lakers!!! Man I hate the Lakers. haha

Well I love you all so much and I am missing AZ weather right now. Hope you have a great week!

Love,
