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 Wednesday, Thursday, 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!

Got my travel plans!

Bonjour tout le monde!        This has been a crazy week! We've been super busy with lessons, we have had two or three lessons a day, and lots of really good devotionals.  On Sunday , we had Chad Lewis come and talk, and that was really cool. He talked about his mission, his career, his chance to do this hike up Kilimanjaro with a bunch of wounded soldiers from Iraq, kinda all over the place. It was more like a slide show than the kind of devotionals before. It was still good, but I definitely preferred Elder Oaks. We watched A Consecrated Missionary, by Tad Callister, for our film after, it was really good. I really love the  Sunday  films, gunna miss that in the field.         I also finally meet some other people going to Halifax! There are 4 sisters, and one other Elder, I'll be flying out with them on the 26th. I'm pretty sure I get to call you guys before I leave the airport on my flight, but I think they talk about t...

Yes, everyone's been freaking out!

Hey all, This week has probably been the craziest ever. The announcement came as I was down in a lesson in Halifax (long story, I'll get to it later) and so my phone just started vibrating like crazy during the lesson, and I was super confused. I checked it and saw a ton of missed calls, so I thought something bad just happened, and we finished the lesson quickly, and started calling people back. The other Zone Leaders answered and were just like, "Have you guys checked your email?" and we were really confused, but they told us to go check. Then I read the email they sent all of us, and I was just mind-blown. The elder I was with just pulled over, cause we were driving at this point, and we just sat there talking to them. It was crazy.  Anyway, I'll back up because it's been a pretty crazy week. P-day was a huge storm, and we were stuck in the house that night. Elder Willoughby finished packing. We also found out that because of the storm, the normal t...

This week's update

Hey everybody. I guess you didn't understand what I meant by "you have no excuse." There's a lot of times when we email in the morning. My phone doesn't have internet. I only get to see the emails I got from  Monday . IF YOU WRITE  ON TUESDAY , I MIGHT NOT SEE IT! Hopefully I will have time to read emails later. At least I'll have stuff next week. Now that I finished my little rant, this last week's been pretty good. We finished teaching Nik, Rachelle and Tommy all of the principles, and are just setting up their interviews. Tommy still is working on stopping smoking, but he's doing awesome. He came to a game night we set up, and to church this week, and loved both. The hit at the games night was this table hockey game, it's lots of fun! The travelling trainers came for our district meeting this week. Basically it's two missionaries who spend an entire transfer training the mission. It was lots of fun, Elder Ipson and Olmsted are bo...
