So this week's email is pretty
short. Last week, Elder Brown was in Jasper, so we moved our emails back to
Thursday. So not much has happened since then. Friday, we helped
with a youth leadership camp that took place on a ranch at the edge of Edmonton
(It was called Our Lady Queen of Peace Ranch). It was a great time. We built
good relationships with those involved and helped strengthen our relationship
with ASSIST, a great community services center based here in Edmonton. It
was lots of fun, and I am super glad we got to help/participate.
Saturday was July 4th!
Not much happened here. Sister McRitchie, an awesome member in this area
invited us over for breakfast, and fed us red, white, and blue pancakes.
They were delicious! It was a great was to start off a Happy America
day. After that, we did nothing else that was America. We did
lots of yard work with Spanish people. That was fun. Its always a
great time when we can get out of a dress shirt and into a pair of jeans. I
always feel much more relaxed anyways.
Sunday was spent fasting and
praying... Most of it at least. We went to the YSA ward, and then came
home and studied until dinner, when someone had invited us over. That was
great. And then we went to go say goodbye to some people in Elder Brown's
old area. It's that time of the transfer. He's about to go home, only 9 days
left! Its been great serving with him, and I am so grateful for all the
things he's taught me and I have been able to learn from him. I'm glad to have
his example.
Another person I am grateful
for is my Lord and Savior Jesus. Through his infinite mercy I am continually
striving to be a better person than I was before. I am so grateful for
the chance I have to know Christ in a personal way, and for the strength that
this gives me. And I am grateful for the chance to share this with those
around me in Edmonton Canada.
Love you all and miss you!
