Hey from the mish

Hey Hey!

Well this week was fun! my first week with only one companion and it's awesome! it's so much easier to make decisions, clean up, plan and do things in general with one other person! i do miss sister wilcox i know it's always a hard thing for big changes and i hope she doesn't miss the mission too much! well we've been really busy this week we had 13 lessons with those investigating the church!

Andy is one of our investigators from montreal and he's so awesome. we taught him twice this week and went over the plan of salvation. i loved his excitement when he learned about where we come from why we are here and where we are going. i just have such a strong testimony of how we should not take this knowledge for granted! our member Joseph has to pick him up early for our lessons so we surprised them with some tim hortons breakfast sandwhiches and i could tell they enjoyed them.

Things are going great teaching Dale and Sophie!!! They are so awesome, we started teaching them english classes this week and it's been so fun! They know english really well BUT reading the book of mormon is a different story. Half of the time they ask a question i'm just thinking why do the prophets explain things in such a round about/ backwards way! It's definitely not as plain and simple as you think! We learned greetings and directions this week and played some fun games. I did a blindfolded obstacle course one day, i remember it from my days learning french, where one person is blindfolded and then the other one has to guide them through the obstacle. It helps them practice their speaking, vocabulary and their listening! it also made for some hilarious entertainment because sophie could not remember the difference between left and right and dale walked into a couple walls haha. We are now also teaching them about baptism in the lessons and they are just so open to the message! Dale has a baptism date set for july 2nd and i'm so excited for him.

All of our baptismal dates have been rescheduled this week. Even though they are more then prepared knowledge wise and have prayed to know it's true the dates have been changed because they either just don't feel ready and want a week more to prepare or want certain people to be there. I know that everything will work out though and i pray for strength that satan won't influence this decision that they are making because it brings so much happiness!

Well i'm hearing all about the canucks and it's awesome to see that grads went well!!! so much fun....

Well everything in edmonton is going great and i'm looking forward to finding new people and continue helping all those in need.

Thanks for all your support and love!!!
