MELFORT SASKATCHEWAN- Smallest City in Canada


Zone Conference- Saskatchewan Zone
Hi Family! This week has been super fun.  Elder Romeril and I get along super well and we laugh and joke a ton. We have been super good on one another.  I had tried to work out with Elder Gregson but he slept all morning which made it hard for me and he didn't want to do anything about it. When I got here I was like "we are working out" and it has been going well so far . I’ve feel like I have lost weight, I weigh like 160 now and its probably because I never ate anything with Elder Gregson cause I was so stressed.  We are going to start running sometime soon when it warms up a little. I've been having bananna fruit and milk smoothies every morning. I dont think i've ever looked at a nutritional value chart as hard as I have these last couple weeks haha. I'm trying to lose some belly fat so I have some muscles and the best way I've read to do that is avoid sugary sweetened drinks, [Basically Dr. Pepper :(] Thats Why I haven't been drinking my Dr. Pepper-- I haven't had one in a week and a Half so that's good.

We went into Saskatoon for Zone conference and we had exchanges with the Zone Leaders. I went with Elder Moore, he is 6'8'' and is a monster missionary. Oh, and we were driving a Toyota corolla! small, small, small. He taught me so much and helped me a ton! He gave me a ton of talks to study and showed me the ways of the force... I mean of missionary work. I got to do some street contacting and stuff throughout that day which was super fun. I want to be like Elder Moore.  We were going and we said hello to a lady and she says "no thank you" and Elder Moore says "no thank you to what? we haven't even said anything to you!” People don't know what they are missing out on.  Though that was pretty bold and funny. Elder Moore is also very friendly, we  went into one of his  investigators house, that he knows well and went into his room and woke him up for a lesson! it was crazy. He said im going to be a crazy good missionary, I really just want to do the best I can out here.

Anyways we had Zone conference this week and we studied about the powers of heaven. We are to study it in companion study too. We had a non-member lady this week named Carmen who was having a hard time so she prayed and decided to call her pastor and get some help financially. She somehow "accidentally" called our branch president 3 TIMES, instead of her pastor?  So she decided she wanted to have us bring some food over so we did and we taught her a lesson, my first real lesson! I was so excited about it! We talked to her about baptism and she said yes, and she was reading the book of Mormon as we left. When we came back later in the week, she said she now wanted to stay with her church. This is the trial of faith.  Hopefully she has the courage to move forward in the gospel. 
We have a Dairy Queen here!!  We have ball at noon like 2 days a week with the youth, so we do that and we play bingo at the old folks home and that is all I've done so far, this week,  for service.I did see that I am on week 10, so minus like the last five weeks of my mission, I'm 10% done….

Praying for miracles and praying for you guys, miss you guys alot and hope you are doing ok.
