September 7 2010

Hi mom
Thanks for the picture of the house being built.The house looks pretty shabby right at the moment, but I think with a bit of work it will come along nicely. It looks like it was a beautiful day in Calgary as well. I will try to be shopping at a fudge store in town to see if they do sell any caramel spread,if I find some I will treat my companion to a beautiful taste, if not I already treated him to some groc, and a hearty big meal of rice peas and groundbeef with montreal steakspice. My companion Elder Sanders is from Auburn California, its a small town about 1 hour east of Sacramento. He has 5 acres of land, and is spelling all his words the canadian way, like Colour Saviour etc... We went up to Bancroft this weekend and it turns out they got around 4 friends to come to church. They are really showing their appreciation for missionaries by making more work happen up there than down here. Bancroft is absolutely beautiful though, I love it up there, I forgot to take pictures though, so I will the next time I get up there. This week we did a ton of traveling to go and see the inactives that live on the outskirts of our area, we probably spent 15 hours in the car, Bancroft itself being arounf 4 hours. So that took a lot out of both of us. I might need a stake directory, because I have finally gotten to writing the Surdu's back, when I noticed there is no return address on their envelope, if you could send me their address and postal code I would be greatly appreciative. I love you a lot

hi mom
I have been taking lots of pictures, but I haven't filled up the card yet, I am going to take more pictures with the members and try to fill it up as soon as possible. My new companion is Elder Sanders, he is shorter than me, weighs about 20 pounds more, but not overweight in any way. He's been out for 20 months and I am really enjoying working with him. He's an awesome missionary.Thanks for elder Nilsons email address. Not too much happened this week. I am going to start teaching the members the discussions to try and help them become more excited in missionary work. I got the idea from a talk in this months ensign. I hope everything goes well. Take Scooter on long walks so he can remember me. I had a good newphy dinner last night, but nobody signed up this week. Oh well. Anyways I love you a lot, keep up the faith.
