Hello!  How's your week been?  This week has been great for Elder Sun and I.  We had a chance this week to work with David, the spiffy man who came to church again this Sunday.  There we were able to finish the lessons we need to teach with him, and go over the questions for baptism.  He is super prepared to be baptized in the next few weeks, and I am so excited to have this to look forward to as I start on my last three weeks!  Holy Cow, thats so weird to even type out!  Its amazing how fast these two years have gone, and how much has happened.  I am super excited to get home and to see everyone and to be able to share some of the experiences I've had living in the strange foreign land of Alberta, Canada, as well as the miracles I've seen while I've been on the Lord's Errand.  I am so blessed to be here with these people, and I am so grateful for the time I've had to serve them.  I love you all and hope you have a great week!

Hello!

This week has been very good here in Edmonton.  I am enjoying my final few weeks!  This week I got a letter with my travel plans, so I now know for sure what my itinerary looks like to get home in August.  Crazy!

This week we were finally able to meet with David again.  He is awesome!  He showed up to church this week, looking spiffy in a suit.  I taught him spiffy, I felt like it was a pretty good word for him to learn.

This week at English Class on Friday, we used the Institute BBQ to give people a chance to talk to native English speakers, and it was great.  The students had a great chance to talk to and interact with many of the YSA members in the area.  Which was a great English practice and a great fellowship builder.

Well, that's been our week here!  I hope you're doing great!

This weekend we have seen a few holidays.  We were able to celebrate both Canada Day (July 1st) and the Fourth of July!  Although it was a much smaller celebration for the Fourth, we sang the anthem during our meet the new Mission President and then got really good American burgers afterwards for lunch, we thoroughly enjoyed our American Holiday.

This week has been pretty slow as far as missionary work goes.  We were supposed to meet with David, but he forgot and we weren't able to meet.  And we haven't heard from him since, so we are a little worried.  But hopefully we can talk to him again soon.  We were able to work with Joy's husband this week.  He does a lot of work around his house and his car, so Elder Sun and I went there and tried to help him out.  He was reluctant at first, but eventually let us lend a hand, which was good.

Anyway, that's about our week.  Hope you've had a good Fourth of July!
