 This was a good week! I forget to mention last week that we cover a YSA ward and a family ward! The YSA ward is lots of fun already. We go to FHE every Monday night! It is really really small though. So Sundays are really busy days for us! 7 hours of church is not a bad thing, but fast Sundays are not fast. They are really quite slow! Last FHE activity we cleaned the church,and today we are playing Ultimate Frisbee! 

       Tuesday after district meetings we went to the mission office to take the Spanish elders so they can exchange companions, fill out the accident report, and pick up a new car. 

My right knee has been bugging me. It was swollen, red, and warm. One of the office missionaries who is a nurse looked at it and said that I should probably get it checked out. It could be Cellulitis- infection of the skin. So it could be from a bug bite or something else like that. 
 

      On Wednesday we had one of those meetings for all of the Zone Leaders and STLs in the mission. We have that once a month. This last one was all the way in Lethbridge. Your talking about a 2 - 2.5 hour drive! But it was good and we talked about lots of stuff. 

       Thursday I went to the doctors office, for my knee. The doctor looked at it and said that it could be cellulitis, or he gave another name. I do not remember it, but it is known as Preachers Knee. It’s caused by kneeling too much or praying too much. So I guess I have been praying too much because my knee is like this... hahaha :) So he gave me some antibiotics. :/ If they do not help then they will have to x-ray my knee and see what’s up. 

       We had a lesson with a less active. We read the Book of Mormon with him. He has some health problems. He kind of uses that as an excuse not to come to church, we think. 

       We had a really cool miracle happen on Sunday during conference! We have a YSA investigator who has been taught for awhile. She wants to be baptized but she wants her family to support her in her decision. Her family does not like the Church. We think her mom is JW and her dad is Catholic. We really wanted her to come and watch Conference with us at the Church, but she lives in Strathmore which is a 35 minute drive to the stake center. After some texts to her and to the missionaries out there, she said that she can go! So then we needed to find a ride for her, which was hard but we were able to find a ride from a member for her which seems like it popped out of nowhere! They gave her a ride to the stake center and they picked her up and drove her home. She told us that she can come to FHE as well! 

       We got a new investigator! His name is Benjamin and he’s YSA aged. He is a referral from the sister missionaries. We had a lesson with him yesterday at the church. That lesson went so well! We taught him about the Plan of Salvation. He was really into it and listened well. He has Sundays and Mondays off of work so that makes things a whole lot easier! :) That first lesson went so well and the spirit was there. We invited him to be baptized on the 24th, he said yes! 

He is also coming to FHE tonight!  

       Well Conference is over.:( It came and now its gone. There were lots of great talks and testimonies. There are some that I want to print off and read.
