Holy Smoke!

August 21, 2018

Good stuff happened!   We found a guy named A just walking around downtown Lacombe, and he seemed really interested! So we taught him stuff! We'll probably see him again!

Other than that, the only thing that's happened is that our district got a bit smaller. Sister P went to a different area. (Mid-transfers is what it's called, I guess.)

That's all I have time for, Be most excellent to each other!

It's been a fast-slow week you could say. We got bikes from some members, so we got to do a little bit of street contacting around Lacombe.

Also, one thing about Lacombe is that it is like the Utah of Seventh Day Adventists. Which is fine, but when we went out on Saturday to talk to people, we kept running into people who want to "bible bash" with us about seventh day worship. Not a fan. In my experience, "bashing" does literally nothing at all. They usually don't let us talk, and when we do they don't listen to it, so we just escape as soon as possible.

Also, Elder T was sick for a few days, then I got his sickness tenfold and just barely got out of "quarantine".  So not much else has happened.

Oh yeah, the email title is a joke, because British Colombia has been on fire. We've been getting all the smoke over here.

Huh... after writing it all down this week looks pretty depressing... 🤔
Oh well, I still had fun.

A lot of things happened.  Transfers happened and we're both staying here.  The only thing that changed is now we are teaching some new people.  A couple with a 2-year-old daughter is super solid and super humble.  The dad is working to be a pastor in the Seventh Day Adventist church, so he's a cool guy.

We've tried to schedule things with other people, but haven't gotten responses, so not a lot else is going on in that department.

We are doing good, Elder T is amazing.  We have a mission tour next week with Elder Brian K. Taylor, a General Authority Seventy, who is coming to the mission this week, so we're going to Edmonton tomorrow.  That's going to be fun because it's supposed to be snowing tomorrow with freezing rain.  I love Canada! 

Shout out to my brother who just had a birthday.  He's 19 and that's super weird.  Love you all, make good choices, wear knee pads.
