What's good
fam? How's life? Life is good up
here. We had another awesome and very crazy week!
Hxxxxxx is doing amazing. She is the
most golden investigator I have ever taught. Usually the super receptive
ones are a little bit quack in other ways but that's not the case with Hxxxxxx,
she is totally socially adept and will probably be a relief society president
in a couple years. We taught her a couple times this week, she brought
her three kids to church, and her and her daughter Mcxxxxx who is also on date
came to a convert baptism on Saturday. Usually when we teach them,
Hxxxxxx and Mcxxxxx are the only ones who we actually teach, the boys just stay
upstairs and goof around. Last night though by some miracle, we were able
to teach all of them together! We taught about prophets and the word of
wisdom, and we had a game type of thing prepared to go along with teaching the
word of wisdom, and they seemed to have fun and enjoy learning. We knew
that Hxxxxxx might have some issues with living the Word of Wisdom, and yes she wasn't overly excited about it, but she committed to live it no problem.
She is so rock solid!! In our next lesson we will probably get Jack and
Bobby on date for baptism :):)

We were
also finally able to teach Awxx yesterday after not really being able to
contact her all week. We were a bit worried, but all is well! We
prayed for a miracle that she would answer the door and she did! She is still
doing great. Her and her 16 year old daughter Allie both read the from
the Book of Mormon, and are excited to be baptized. We found out that Awxx has
two other kids who are old enough to be baptized, and Awxx wants them to be
baptized. They are all coming to a ward activity this Friday, and they will
be at church as well. We plan to start meeting with the
whole family all at once and getting the other kids on date as well.
Sadly we weren't able to meet with Doxxxx
this week because of her crazy work schedule :( she is still doing great
though. In addition to finally being able
to contact Awxx, we were able to finally contact her friend Atxxx as
well. She is a lost sheep who was baptized a couple years ago in southern
Alberta, and wants to come back to church. She also has a couple kids who
are old enough to be baptized and she really wants that to happen. We are
meeting with her again tonight and we have high hopes :) So all in all, there is a pretty high
probability that 11 people will be getting baptized into the Ellerslie Ward
within the next few months! We are being so blessed right now I don't
even know how to act :)

A couple
other cool things happened this week. On Friday Elder Mejia, Elder
Hunsaker, Elder Klunker, Sister Hollon and I (two of them are past beloved
companions) got together at the mission office and had a pretty long phone call
with the creator of the area book planner app (the record keeping and daily
planning app that the church created for us to use) to basically tell him and
someone else on his support team about all the trillions of problems we are
having with it throughout the mission. We just shifted over to it last fall and
it has been a pretty painful transition.
Saturday Elder Payne, Elder Hunsaker and I went to a funeral for an awesome
guy we knew pretty well in Slave Lake. He will be missed for sure. It was fun
to see a lot of my beloved Slave Lake peeps though! Last night we went out with Brother Nelson
from the missionary department. He took us to a super fancy restaurant
and talked with us about the mission and a bunch of other stuff, and then came
to Hexxxxx lesson with us. It was a great experience and I feel like I learned
a ton from him, and I probably will learn a lot more from him (and Lee
Donaldson, the mission president in The District 2, who is here as well) on
Thursday in MLC. Exciting stuff!
Well
my basketball time is being shortened to the point that I might start crying so that's it for this week folks. I am loving life so much right now.
The gospel is real!
