Family,
Stampede is here but we aren't allowed to go. That's actually a good thing because people are getting crazy downtown. ha Our apartment is a prime location for drunks walking by, so we see some funny people singing songs and yelling at each other. The area is doing great, but we only met with a few investigators and some of them are dropping appointments; which is a bummer. We have not been able to meet with our other investigator over the past couple weeks because she has gone M.I.A. on us. She is not answering her phone or her door. Bro. XXXXXX is doing well. He is reading and praying but we feel that he is not questioning honestly to find the right answer.
I will send pics next week. I have to run but I love you all so much!!!

Family,
HAPPY 4TH!!!!!
We have a lot going on here in 5th and Wildwood wards and its awesome! We will have them hitting the water this month (missionary slang for being baptized). We met with an investigator yesterday and we are trying to get him on the ball for reading and praying about the Book of Mormon. We taught him the importance of doing so yesterday and we are calling tonight to see how it went. We had the XXXX kids come to church yesterday. The mom couldn't make it but our Ward Mission Leader picked them up yesterday and they had a great time. We have had trouble meeting with some of our investigators this last week, but we still met with a five of them. We are lucky in this area, we get a ton of referrals from the mission office. Many of them turn out to be nothing, but some of them we are teaching now, it's sweet.
So I have a new companion and his name is Elder Hansen from Fresno, CA. He has been out for about a year. He is a lot of fun and he might be my last comp. I am happy about that. For Canada Day we went and walked around downtown, checked out the festivities and talked to people. It was a fun day. For the 4th we are having a zone BBQ and will be kicking it and having fun!! (I will send pics). It is Half Kilometer month, so we are going to be walking a ton...we already have. It's fun.
Tell everyone I love them lots and I miss you all!! See ya in 2 1/2 months!!!

P.S That's a pic of the Calgary skyline and the other pic is of my previous companion, Elder Kuettel and me.

Family,
Another transfer... and I'm getting a new comp. His name is Elder Hansen from Fresno, Cali and he has been out for a year. Good chance this is my last comp so I hope it turns out good ha. We had an interesting week. Our investigator, who had a date for what was supposed to be today, didn't quit smoking. She says she wants to wait awhile before she gets into the water. We are bummed but it's all good. We had a good lesson with her yesterday and she still wants to move forward so that was good news. We are teaching a lot of people right now, but the frustrating thing is that none of them are progressing. It's hard when that happens, but we have a few positve things with some of them.
The weather is finally warming up and the rain is gone for now. I have to run but I love you all so much. Have a great week!!
