Did Dad powder his hair or something in those photos?

Hey all!

I can't believe school's already out again! It seems like yesterday we were just starting summer again. I really can barely believe how fast the time's going by. I've already been gone for 9 months! If I was a sister missionary I'd be halfway done, that's not ok!

Also, all of you except mom are looking older! What happened to your hair Dad? It looks really white in the photo with mom, in all the others it looks darker. 

I saw on facebook that Grandma and Grandpa's anniversary was coming up too, Davy invited me to it, haha. I was really tempted to put "going" or something, but I thought that would probably not be very dignified, and more than a little confusing. Let me know how it goes!

This week was really fun. We had Leadership Conference on WednesdayThursday, and Friday. We drove down to Halifax for it with Elders Ablett and Sawa Sawa. But it was amazing, I learned so much. I wish everyone could have gotten to go. It was also kinda sad because it was the last conferences President and Sister Pratt are in charge of. They have another conference June 10 in Newfoundland, Elder Bednar is coming to Newfoundland to release President Pratt as the mission president there, and so they have that, and possibly they'll come to one last zone conference, but then they're gone! I'm going to be pretty sad, cause the Pratts are the best! I'm excited to meet President Low though. 

Because that ate up a lot of our time, I don't have too much more about our week. The branch had a talent show that we missed! We heard it was super awesome, but didn't get to see it! 

There was also a funeral on Wednesday that Elder Pierson and I played the piano at. It also snowed Wednesday. So there's that. 

Today we went down to Miramichi and played mini golf with the Elders and sisters there. It was a lot of fun, but it's also a little sad, cause the Miramichi sisters are closing down, so this is their last week here. After that, I don't know what's going to happen to my district, because it will just be us and Miramichi elders, so it will be the smallest district in the mission. Technically we have a senior couple, but they're in Halifax, because another couple didn't come out on their mission or something. They might be coming back soon, but we really don't know. 

We had a technology blitz as a mission, (so every one was using technology to try to find people) and our district did the best! We got a trophy for it, haha! We've seen a lot of success using it though, we found a new investigator through Facebook and have started meeting with him. His name is Yanik. He's actually a pretty good friend of Alex's, and Alex has been an amazing friend in helping Yanik learn about the gospel. 

Tommy's been out of town for a while, ever since we left for Halifax, so we're going to see him tomorrow when he gets back. Tanya was gone too, she was with family in Moncton. Xavier is going to be meeting with Elders Sawa Sawa and Kearsley in person, because they're at Saint-Pierre for the week! And with Betty, we're hoping to see her Friday, because she cancelled our lesson on Sunday

Love you all so much! I did get my package, the shirts are perfect! Enjoy the first week of summer!

Transfers!!!

Hello!  HAPPY BIRTHDAY Ellie!!!!! I hope you had a great one!  So yes, I got transfered!! I'm going to Fredericton with Elder Olsen. We're going to be zone leaders, and I'm super excited!! Elder Olsen is one of my favorite elders, so we're going to be having a great time! They closed down Dieppe, so there are only two French areas now, Edmundston and Bathurst. Elder Smith went to Bathurst. The French areas are in New Brunswick, but the majority of the areas are English (like mine).  I had a pretty good week. Deji got baptized!!!!! It was so, so cool. I was one of the elders who found him, and I had a chance to teach him on exchanges. Then Sunday was really good too.  I'm doing really good health wise! I've had no problems. We found someone pretty cool. Her name is Monica, we found her through Facebook. We're going to teach her again tonight.  I liked going to the zoo a lot. We have played Settlers of Catan a lot together, except it...

Yes, it was Zone Conference

Salut tout le monde! Sorry that I didn't send that schedule again. I'm surprised they don't post that on the facebook page for all the parents. It's hard for me to remember that when you're not living your life 6 weeks at a time you don't normally keep track of when "week 2" is, so I'm sorry. I'll try to make sure to say in the email the week before anything like that happens.  I'm glad that you had a good week. Women's conference sounds like it was pretty nice. I know what you mean when you talked about having very crazy weeks! Also, I'm super jealous of being able to go see Avengers, even if the ending was bad. I keep seeing posters for it everywhere, and I'm pretty curious as how they made the whole connection to Guardians. But I guess I'll find out in 450ish days. (That gives me chills, agh!) I'm looking forward to  Sunday  too! You guys have church at 10 right? There is a  ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ >...

Still no snow on my end

Questions we asked: How's it going with Wendy, Jacob and Brendan?  Any new investigators? How's it going with Elder Pitcher? Are you still a ZL? How was your week? Do you have the chance to exercise and play the piano there? Are you brushing and flossing at least twice a day?  What are you thinking career wise? You said that observing your mission presidents had given you insight on that... Hey all, Glad to hear things are going well back home. Funny that you should bring up taxes, there is a YSA member here who just came up from Texas, and during our lesson he kept talking about how ridiculous the taxes are here compared to back in the states. He's originally from here, but he goes to school there and is back while they figure out his visa stuff. He joined the Church down there, going on to show that America is the promised land!  Things are going well on my end. Still no snow, although there's a lot of wind now, and it's getting colder.
