Well now I'm in my new area! I'm serving in da East. East Calgary. It is also known as "The Dirty East" My new comp is Elder Colton Christensen! He went to Mountain Crest with me and we graduated at the same time.  We also came out to the mission field at the same time. 

The East is cool. It’s way different than Canyon Creek. The people here are more humble so that’s good. 

We have some investigators. We taught one of them on Friday. She has been on date or has accepted the invitation many times before. So we will have to see how it goes. She was assigned to read a chapter in the Book of Mormon but she did not read it so we read it with her. We had a good discussion after that and left her to read another chapter before the next time we meet. It was a very good lesson and the spirit was there.
  

We live in the best location in the whole mission because there are two other sets of missionaries that live in the same area.  Its just a walk to the other building to get to their apartment. Elder Hopoi is in this district. He is training! So  the line goes on! 

Last night was one of the craziest nights! We got a call from the Spanish Elders in the zone at about 8 9:20 PM. They said that they got in a car accident!  We rushed over to them. They had an ambulance, fire truck, and cop car. It was a bad accident. Sadly it was the missionary’s fault. The miracle was that no one was injured! Everyone was watched over! The missionaries’ car is totaled and the 3 month-old car they hit is most likely gone. :( We got home really late because we had to wait for the report to be filled out. Another miracle was the first and second group of people there were members! I have pictures of the cars I will send a few. I was going to send the pictures and say that this happened to me, and just leave it at that, but it is probably a good idea not too, because I pulled that card before.

Remember that truck that was damaged? Well that's the same truck that we are driving. It is all fixed and it looks good as new! :) 

That’s about it. There was a lot of packing and saying good bye to people.
