Family,

Yesterday, we as a mission had an awesome experience to have Elder Richard G Scott speak to us in Calgary. Everyone south of Calgary got on a bus at 6am to get there by 8. It was a long day, but an amazing one, nonetheless. Elder Scott's main instruction for us was about helping our investigators attain greater faith in Jesus Christ through the Book of Mormon. Also he told us when we get home we need to get married and it needs to be our #1 priority haha. Then for the rest of the time he opened it up to questions. Most of the questions were on how can we help the investigator and we got some awesome insight from some of his answers. The best part about it all was his testimony of Jesus Christ. He truly is a witness that the Savior lives. After the meeting and the two hour bus ride to Lethbridge, we went and stopped by to see Troy Leavitt in my old area in the Bridge. It was sweet. We ate lunch with him and caught up. It was awesome to be able to do that.

Teaching-wise this last week we set a baptismal date for X and her kids for April 30th. We are trying to help her stop smoking, that is really the only thing holding back the baptism. She knows that the Gospel is true. It's awesome to see her testimony grow, we just have to get rid of those cancer sticks. We also got her and her kids to come the church.

This week we have been meeting with the Bishops and the Ward Mission Leaders to try to get everyone on the same page on what needs to be done and see how we can help them and further missionary work in the area.

Golfing last week was a joke. haha. I was terrible! That's what you get when you have not played in 18 months. That was my week! I love you all and miss ya tons! Have a great week.
