I am so happy to hear that things are going great at home. this week was full of miracles. So, I am going to start at the beginning of the week. So, monday we played Settlers of Zarahemla, and I won by default ( I had the most points at the table when everyone left) Then we do our normal monday routine, have a Dinner appointment, maybe see some other people, and then go to [a family's] house to pick up our laundry, and teach [the father]. [Wait, he doesn't have to do his laundry? Someone else does it?!] Then Tuesday rolls around. I cannot remember Tuesday, but I think I went on a split with the Elders in Fallowfield, with another Elder who was in the MTC with me. That was fun for me, and everything went well that day. We even found a new investigator! I'll have to ask Fallowfield about that new investigator.... Then, the next day, I went on another split with the Zone leaders. This split was planned, so I went into Champlain, which is basically the other half of Gloucester, and all of Ottowa. So we went there, and had a great day, stopped by some people, knocked a few doors, and then went to go on splits with the priests' quorum for a few hours. So I went on a split inside a split. They sent me and the priest off to knock this one appartment building. We only knocked 2 floors in one and a half hours, but we had so many miracles there. We taught 3 lessons at peoples' doors, and found one new investigator. The next day we had district study, which was great. It was also another Elders' birthday that week, so we bought him a cake before hand, and even put happy Bday on it in green icing. Green icing on this chocolate cake that has chocolate shavings allover it and cherries, so it looked ridiculous. So that was fun. I cant remember what happened Thursday or Friday, but Saturday was amazing. We had a BAPTISM!!!!!!! Then, that evening, we went to a dinner appointment with [a family]. [He] is this big, friendly Canadien who is the friendliest guy in the world, and was a missionary who served in the Phillippines. His wife is this super nice Filipino lady who is a great cook. We have tons of great food at their house, like the first time we went there we had steak which had been marinated in some sort of BBQ sauce that had 7up in it, and some awesome South Korean noodles that they learned to cook in South Korea, because they lived there for a little while. This time we had this Phillippino dish that was basically beef soup poured over rice, and was really good! Oh, they also have a little 4 year old girl who is really cute. She draws a lot. [Sounds like Calvin at that age!]
So this week has been great. I have seen that the Lord has His hand in our lives every day.
Now, I will respond to your letter,
Dear Calvin,
Sophie is getting to be quite the handful!
that's my sister!
So Friday:
Sophie, in her room: Mom!
Me, on the couch, reading: What?
Sophie: Mom! Come here I need hewp.
Me: What?
Sophie: Mom! Come here I need hewp.
Me coming to "hewp": What?
Sophie, holding something she's taken off the wall: Hewp me put dis back.
Me, taking it away and putting in on Chantal's bed: I'm too short to put it back.
Sophie, taking ANOTHER thing off the wall: Hewp me put dis back?
Me, taking IT from her and putting it on Chantal's bed: Get OFF the bed and come OUT of your ROOM!
Sophie, getting off the bed, walking through the kitchen to the living room, turning around to look at me with her fingers pushing her mouth into a smile: Be happy Mommy! Be happy!
AWWWWWWW!!! I keep wondering what she is going to be like when I get back. I actually had a dream about her. Basically what happened was she got up in the middle of the night, opened left her bedroom, waved at me, and walked off. Weird. I miss Sophie a lot. A lot! I cannot wait to give her a BIG hug, and tell her I love her. Anyways, onwards!
THIS KID!!! How am I supposed to stay frustrated with her when she's so darn cute? Actually, it's kind of easy to get frustrated with her.
I would never get frustrated with her! (Yes that was a lie, but that's how I feel right now)
Love you!
Study your scriptures and Preach My Gospel!
Pray fervently (for the speakers in Conference this coming weekend!)
Love your companion!
Don't forget your towel. Don't panic. Forty-two!
I need a book with that on the cover! In Big Friendly letters! [I love it when Calvin remembers stuff from books we've read!]
Love,
MoMM
Ok, so next P-day, I won't be able to email on monday due to Zone conference, but I will be able to mail on Tuesday. So don't freak out that you didn't get your weekly email. It is coming. [He KNOWS his mother doesn't he?!] umm oh yeah, do you guys think you can send me some music? like classical, or church music? I would really appreciate it, because my companion has all the music, and it would stink to not have any.
Thank you for everything, especially the letters every week! That means you, my wonderful grandmothers!!!! I LOVE all your letters!
Oh, what is grandma Esther's email?
I love you all soooooooooo much! I love hearing from you, and I thank you for all the support you give me! I cannot wait to see you again, but until then, I will serve the Lord with all I have!
I love you all!!!
Calvin
