well even though you didn't write me i will extend my loving mercy to you
and share with you my recent advent. well on Wednesday i went and
picked up my new companion. his name is Elder George and he is a super
cool guy. he is from Las Vegas. and is all about sports he was gonna
play college football for byu........ but he got brain damage so he didn't. now he kinda reads slow and stuff but not enough to notice, but
he has a strong testimony and a super good work ethic so I'm super stoked
to work with him. he said that there are 18 yr olds in the mtc now. so that's crazy. but any way after i picked up Elder George i made my way to the deep south of my mission. this area is the 2nd lowest point
in the mission so that's cool I'm actually really close to Calgary now. any-who this area had no idea that elders were coming so we don't have a
real place to stay yet so we are just living in a families unfinished basement right now. but should only be there for about 2 weeks. then we
will move somewhere else. the family we are living with are awesome
though, they are old school farmers so we wake up every morning to help
them split firewood and they make us a huge breakfast. Phill would love
living here. our basement electrical is run the same way old barns are is
what bro. Smith told me, so ill take some pics of it for Phill, its
pretty cool. its super cool doing morning studies next to an old fireplace
thing. but anywho its been quite the adventure especially since i got
supper sick 2 nights ago. i was throwing up for like 5 hours. it was miserable but the next day i got a blessing and i feel better now. but
ill tell you a little about Innisfail. its really small but we cover
like 4 really small areas we live in a tiny town called Bowden and there
is nothing here but a penitentiary (prison) then we go to another
small town called Penhold a ton. we got an investigator living there and
he accepted a baptismal invite the first time we met with him so thats
super cool. his name is Jeff and he is from Newfoundland so he speaks
perfect Pickey. and his wife is Mexican so its pretty weird but they are
super cool. Sunday was super good, elder George spoke for 5 min and
did a really good job and the ward is super cool they love doing
missionary work so its rad. oh man its been crazy our first day we shoveled like 10 walks and it was the first time elder George has ever shoveled snow. and when we went to the car his hands were legit bright
purple. he is hating the snow but he never complains cause he is a boss.
but anywho ill have to take some good pics cause this area is really
fun. its kinda like Hinton just way smaller and its a ward not a branch
and its farm country. oh and the people we live with are super prepared
for a natural disaster they have all these weird cold rooms and holes in
the ground that they store food. its really cool. well thats all i
can think of for now byeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Mom asked some questions:
Will you be moving soon? not sure at thiss point i think the bishop is looking for one. the only
problem is there is no one appartment buildings in this whole area haha

cameras but no go.

Dad asked some questions:
Are you still sick? Did you get some pepto bismo? no im good no i just had to sleep a whole day cause i was throwing up all night
How is the living quarters with the fam you are staying with? Do they have an apartment? well..... we pretty much live in a dungeon hahaha. we just have a little room and an unfinished basement. oh yah im living with a way rad family and there son served his mission
