HAPPY CANADIAN THANKSGIVING YESTERDAY!!!! It was so so weird to have Thanksgiving in October when Halloween is!  But it was a good thanksgiving. A member fed us; Canadian Turkey, Canadian Corn, Canadian Mashed Potatoes, Canadian Gravy, Canadian Stuffing, and Canadian Pumpkin Pie! It was so good, especially the Canadian part! They are also going to invite us over for American Thanksgiving!   

One of the members in the Bishopric in the ward is an ex-RCMP officer (Royal Canadian Mounted Police) and had us over at his house and he let us wear his uniform! I have to be honest I look good in it! ahah;) I look like I could be a cop! I will send the picture to you and mom can you edit and enhance them to make them look better and then send them back? And please do not send those pictures to family or anyone yet. Thanks! That will be awesome! Can you send me Grams address because for Christmas I will be sending a little bit of something to you and Grandma, and Gram. It will be that picture. One of the members does this every year for missionaries. She asks for a picture and makes it all nice on a slab of tile and makes that all nice and she crosses the line (border) and sends it off to the addresses that I give her. So if you can give me that address that will be great. Or unless Grandma and Gram are coming over for Christmas then I will have it sent to home. So if you can let me know about that then that will be great! :) Thanks 

So this week is transfers! Thats why Im emailing today. Guess where I got transferred?!!?......................................................................................................................................................................................................I got transferred NOWHERE! I am staying in Trail! And so is Lybe. That means that I will be here in Trail for more than 6 months. That is 25% of my mission which is so CRAZY! 

I will not be seeing Meet the Mormons! :( because it only comes out in the states and not Canada! If it comes out of DVD I bet that somehow we will be able to get our hands on it. 

Last week I taught the 1st lesson to that family that I talked about last week and it went so good! The spirit was there! The wife was born JW. She does not agree with them. And the husband has no religion. There are some relationship problems going on. If he was to make that change and other changes and want to be baptized then President will have to come interview him because of past transgressions. It was so crazy because the wife completely opened up and told us everything that he has done and all of the problems that are going on. She trusted us right then and there. 

Yesterday for Pday we went on a hike to Gimili Peak as a district. That was so fun! I will send some pictures. We had no service, so when we got out of the canyon our phone went CRAZY!! We have 20 text messages. most of them were from that family, the wife saying that she has given up on her husband. She want to divorce he wont leave. She lives upstairs and never goes down and he swears at the kids and is going crazy. So yeah... This is how my first family investigators are like haha. 95% of the time its not like that.. I know that the gospel will change their lives but it will take time. And satan is already doing what he does with that family.  We are not going to give up. she said that she still wants the gospel for her and her kids. We are going to meet with them today.

Also dad thank you for sending that GPS. I have it right now and it works great! We used it yesterday to find the hike. 

Thank you for all that you do and for all of your support.

 Love you all
