Calgary 

This last week was a really nervous one because it was board week, and transfers are this Thursday! Christensen wanted to stay and so did I. The good news that we found out today was that we are both staying, This is a 7 week transfer coming up. 

This was also a very successful week I think. Two weeks ago we had interviews with President. He told us that he wanted us to have appointments with people; members, less actives, and ask for referrals. Most of the appointments fell through (No surprise. That happens every now and then) but we were very, very blessed this last week. The Lord blessed us in different ways. We got 6 referrals last week. They came from media referrals, lessons with less active members, members who called us and told us that they had a referral for us, and other missionaries. Even though we did not have a lesson every single night we were still really busy, and we were blessed to be able to receive 6 referrals! We contacted some of them. 

I always look forward to interviews with President. He is so full of love, and he cares so much about every missionary. He told us of how good of a job we are doing. 

These last weeks we have been so, so busy! There were some days where we had to end lunch early because we had an appointment. Some days its really hard and tiring, but I think I have been blessed with extra energy. 

I’m starting to really like the East. I was not all too excited to come here, but there is a lot, a lot of work. It has been fun to be in this area. 

We taught Ben three times last week. He is the most solid investigator I have ever had. It has been really fun to teach him! He is on date for baptism this Saturday at 2:00. He has been coming to church and he likes it, and he is participating in it too. On Nov. 1st we will be having a potluck. That will be fun! We have one more lesson with Ben. We taught him about everything, and he has accepted it all. I’m really excited for this baptism on Saturday! 

Its crazy to think that Halloween is this Saturday! I remember last year I was still in Trail. I was only out 3 months! 

The temperature has dropped. It is suppose to snow today. 

We met with Rodel again. He is still smoking, and I’m not sure about his real intent, but we are continuing to work with him. 

Also I’m required to get an International Drivers License. There was an accident somewhere in BC, and the Church is getting charged, because the missionary was not Canadian. It will be really easy to get.  It’s $25.00. The mission will pay for it, but we will need to reimburse the office.    

Dallin! That is so amazing that you are this close to your Eagle! Good job! Having your Eagle Scout award will help you out so much in life! I miss being in scouts it was alot of fun!
