Soooo, it snowed! A lot! We had Mission Tour on Thursday and had Elder Brian K. Taylor of the Seventy come, so we had to drive up to Edmonton on Wednesday. In the snow. We were fine on Wednesday, but the next day we had to drive from where we were staying to Mission Tour, and the people of Edmonton do not know how to drive the first few days it snows for some reason. We almost got into 3 car accidents on the way there! Terrifying.
But it was worth it! Elder Taylor pretty much changed the way we think as a mission. He gave some super nice suggestions on things we can do to increase the amount of people we are teaching, and it was awesome!
Because of it all, we have probably 8-10 people we are teaching all of the sudden when before we were only teaching 1-3 people.
Crazy story from the week,
We were out slapping doors here in Lacombe, and an aberration of the 3rd kind opened the door. It had the face of a burly man, but everything else was not so... like... opposite... it had a wig too! There was a skirt and bleh! Be glad that I can't really describe it. Traumatizing I tell you.
And we're out of time! Sorry 'bout that, but here's a nice mushroom picture to make up for it.😁October 2, 2018
Pretty much all that happened this week was that we are meeting with a lot of people. And the people we meet with have friends and family who also want to meet with us, so they can prove us wrong or something. So good and bad I guess. None of them are too solid right now, but I'll keep y'all updated on what happens with them.
Anyway, the snow is back, and I think it's here to stay for the rest of the year. #boyamiexcited
It's not too cold yet, but we have a good amount of snowman material to play with today since we're not going into Red Deer today.
I don't think my system was quite ready for winter, because I got sick again last week for a few days. But in the spare time that I couldn't go outside I've been reading the Saints book on Gospel Library. It's amazing! It makes church history easy to read and remember. It's also pretty testimony building. 10/10, would totally recommend.
I got to go on exchanges with Elder S this week! That was fun. I was in Red Deer with him and we were suuuper busy. We didn't even have time to talk to crazy people in the park!
Recently I've learned a magic trick that is pretty fun. You find someone with a mirror behind them and have them pick a card out of a deck, but they don't show you it. You then take the card, but keep it facing them. You then look at the mirror to see what the card is, and mess with them until they figure it out 😂
I killed Elder T with it haha. Probably will stop though... It's kinda mean.
This weekend is going to be spectacular! My last General Conference in Canada!
I've heard a lot of rumors from a lot of members about things that are going to be announced. They say if we thought last conference was big, this one will knock our socks off haha. Seriously, I've never heard so many rumors and speculations about Conference in my entire life. If it's all a ruse to keep people awake during conference, then they're doing a good job haha!
Though seriously, it's going to be awesome. Take notes people.
Don't have much else to say. Have fun with your 73°F weather you Utah people. (Its like -1°C here 😄)

Sooo, I was sick last week, but I was feeling better after a couple days. Then we had Canadian Thanksgiving yesterday, and we had four suppers! Four! I'm not sure which supper it was, but I woke up this morning with food poisoning! 🤣 that's 3 times since I've been with Elder T! That's gotta be a record!
Though I don't feel great so it's not gonna be a long post.
First, I want to have a shout out for a Bro again who is going to the MTC tomorrow! Hes gonna be the best missionary ever.
Let's talk about Conference! Home centered and Church supported! I think that's awesome! We're teaching a few young men in the ward, and I really think that would be helpful for most families.
I finished reading the Saints book by the way. Awesome book.
I'll finish up with my testimony.
I know the Gospel is true! I know the Book of Mormon is actually a record of Jesus Christ from the prophets in the Americas. "And how do ye suppose that I know of their surety?" (Alma 5)
I testify that the Holy Ghost knows everything and we can receive that knowledge from Him.
Figure it out yourself! We have been given the tools! It doesn't depend on worldly knowledge, or intelligence. It depends on our relationship with God, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Ghost.
Alright, I'm sick, so I'm going to end it here. Have a good day!
