| Chicoutimi: I think it looks a lot like downtown Binghamton with the river and the bridges. I've google Chicoutimi and learned that one of the steepest streets in the world is in Chicoutimi! It has an 18% grade! |

| Sorry this is sideways. I have to figure out how to turn it right-side up. I believe this is the "contact" Calvin was talking about when he and his companion were out on the lake. We thought this was a pretty fun picture. |
I wrote a repentance letter to Calvin, asking forgiveness for not writing him on Monday. I do send little messages throughout the week when I think of them (so I don't forget what I wanted to tell him when I write my big letter to him) so he did have at least one small message from me last week. Sister Cannon had sent us a picture of the Zone Activity, but since there are more missionaries than just Calvin in the picture, I can't share it. I did notice, however, that Calvin was one of about 5 missionaries (all boys, the sisters know better!) who DIDN'T HAVE A HAT ON! If you google "ice hotel Quebec city" you can see what ice hotel he's talking about. It's gorgeous! This is his letter from yesterday (11 February, 2013):
Hey Momm!!!!!!!!
So, what has happened, well we went to the ice hotel, which was pretty awesome!! I'll try to send some pictures, then we had zone conference the next day, which was epic, president talked about a lot of things I had been wondering about, like how to work better with members, etc. Then, we drove all the way back from Quebec City to Chicoutamie (again, more pictures to send) Went to the hospital to find a potential investigator to whom we had given chocolate before, so that we could talk with her, and talk to the lady [my companion] wanted to talk to. We didnt find them. Instead we found this lady and I wanted to talk to her. We talked to her, then made an appointment for the next day with her. The next day, went back to the hospital to talk with her and share Alma 7:11-13 and then got kicked out of the hospital halfway through. Hope she is doing ok, i was worried when she said if God loved her he would let her die. the next day we had splits with our District leader, who works in Haweksbury. He had a split with the missionaries in Alma (yes I live only 30-40 minutes away from Alma) so they split us right afterwards. His companion is from Tahiti, and is about 6' 11 (?) and 270lbs(?) he's a big guy! [Can you imagine living in Tahiti all your life, and then going to North Canada on your mission?!] That was a lot of fun! So, after that, our days were pretty normal. We found some really cool potential investigators this week, so we are hopeful. lets see, not much else went on this week, just the normal stuff. We knocked some doors, we taught some people, I spoke some French and tried to understand Quebecquoi, it was a pretty regular week. Oh, we knocked into an Evangelical yesterday, who told us to go read the Bible again, because we didnt understand it because we believe in another prophet. That was fun! Did i tell you I finally met some Jehovas Witnesses?
Oh, so I got the Birthday Package!!! I was soooooooo happy to get it! i kept pestering my zone leaders about it because for a little bit they didnt know where it was in the chapel, but we found it. I loved it!!!! I only have one question, what on earth am I going to do with an Ice cube that big? I loved the leaves, and the miniatures! And the calander was awesome! Thank you so much! Oh, the chocolate dice was pretty cool! and the Yoda pez dispenser was funny! and I was most grateful for the letters! Thanks so much! Oh, the granola was delicious! [yah, I forgot to mention the comic character calendar Todd put in, and the chocolate dice and the granola I threw in at the last minute. Calvin LOVES my homemade granola.]
Well, for now that's all from me! Love you!
Calvin
