Howdy y'all
Well another week come and gone and pretty much a transfer come and gone, and it's crazy how fast it has gone. We had a good week, the unfortunate part is that most of our investigators were either out of town or they just flaked out of their appointments. On the plus side the weather has been really nice and is supposed to be be nice for the next week.
So yesterday we got to go to the Calgary tower and we had lunch to the restaurant up there and it spins like the Compass room and the food was bomb. I will send pictures next week. I have to run I love you all so much and hope you have a wonderful week!!
Love

Family,
We had a good week! We picked up a new investigator named XXXX from Ethiopia. He is way solid, wants to be baptized, and has a willingness to learn and read and come to church. Things are good here and work is happening. Besides teaching XXXX it was kind of a slow week and we kinda hope this week turns out the miracles. Dan was a miracle for sure and it will be sweet to work with him.
The weather this last week turned cold and rainy. Today is supposed to be alright but not that great. I love you all and hope you have a great week!!!
Love

22 months!!! Crazy how time flies!! We had a good week! Stampede is over and Calgary is now going back to normal life. We meet with a few of our gators this week and we also have a few that are struggling. Downtown this past week was a little nuts because it was stampede. The actual Stampede grounds were in my area this year, so it was busy all week down here. We were not allowed to go to the Stampede, but we did go to the Stampede breakfasts and BBQ's around our area.
Investigator-wise, we had a good and bad week. We had a couple drop lessons and also we have one going off the deep end. XXXX is the one going off the deep end. She is the one who had set her own baptismal date for the 28th of June, but didn't stop smoking. She was still reading and doing fine, then she went MIA again and we have not been able to get a hold of her at all. On a lighter side of things we do have a couple investigators XXXX and XXXX who are awesome, but they need to exercise their faith a little bit.
We had interviews this week and they were awesome, this is my last interview with President Archibald until I have my departing interview with him. Again, crazy how time flies. He told me it will be over before I know and I need to act like it,s not going to happen till it happens.
Today for Pday we went and golfed 18 at a really nice course owned by members. They let us go for free! Clubs, carts and balls all for free, it was one of the best Pdays on the mission. I will attach some pics with this email.
Well I love you all so much and I hope you have a great week!!!

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!!!

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.

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!!

We had a awesome week, besides the weather because that has really not been great lately. It has been raining and gloomy over the past week....kinda depressing really. Please AZ take some of this rain.
We have been really busy teaching this week, we had a few lessons drop through, but we had an awesome miracle with our investigator, XXXXX. Over the past few weeks she has been moving backwards and her desire was very low. We had an appointment with her on Wednesday. So we went in there hoping get her desire back so she can start progressing again. So we came into this lesson with that mind set and we wanted to read the Doctrine of Christ with her. As we did she accepted it very well and we asked her "based on what we read, what do you need to do?" She said that she needed to be baptized! We set the date of July 16, feeling that she needed time to progress and get things rolling. She said that she thought she would be baptized on the 28th, and we asked which month? And she said this month!! She said that she is quitting smoking on the 21st, so tonight we are taking all of her smoking stuff and getting rid of it. She is going above and beyond on her commitments. It's been an awesome experience.
I love you all and have a great week!!
Love,
