This has been an interesting week. After Elder Brown
and I left emails on Monday, we saw a tank/BTR driving through St.
Albert. And I wondered why St. Albert was such a nice place... That
night, we went to FHE expecting a few investigators to show up. The
activity was a snowball fight, and while we waited, we ended up getting hit and
involved in the fight. It was lots of fun, although an Arizonan stands no
chance against Canadians in any fight about snow... Don't even try it.
Tuesday was also a good day. We tried to find people
on the buses in the morning, with little success. That evening we went to
a dinner that was as far North as Elder Brown has ever gone. And a
daughter in the family was a really good singer, she is actually recording for
a song to go on the radio in the next month.
Wednesday Night we went to Joe's Dojo again. He
started teaching us a few nunchuck tricks, that were pretty sweet. I
wasn't too good, but Elder Brown was a bit better. There is a video that
is too big to send on this email, but it exists. Elder Brown was also
bleeding. A dojo teacher was showing us how we could not hit him. He used
Elder Brown's hand to hit Elder Brown's head, but the nail caught and gave him
a scratch.
Other than that, this week has been fairly normal. The
snow is almost all gone, and I love it. I am told the city gets a lot more
beautiful after everything turns green in the summer, and I am excited for it.
This week also is the beginning of the Because He Lives
Initiative. If you haven't taken a chance to see that video, I strongly
recommend it. It is a great video, and I love the message it shares. I
know that Christ's sacrifice, his Atonement, is the single greatest event of
history. It is the one thing that makes everything, our lives, this
Earth, everything we have and everything we are, worth it. Without
Christ, we have no way to return to our Father in Heaven. With him, and
following his plan, we can return and join in glory and joy with God and our
Elder Brother. I know this is the true. I am so glad to be on a
mission and to be sharing the message with others. I love and miss you
all!
Elder Ethington
