Hey Momm!!!
So, It was great to get your email, but I have no idea whats going on, because you left all that room for everyone else to write, and NO ONE WROTE MEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (except dad) [I did fill him in briefly on the activities of the week, but I left the details for the involved family members to share, like the school play and youth activities. See, I was told that my emails were too long for him to read, and then have time to respond, in the hour he gets on the computer, so I made my email shorter this week.]
Anyways, So this week was pretty good, we had exchanges with the zone
leaders, and that was fun. I found out a lot about myself this week. I'm
not quite sure what to make of it. So the exchanges with the zone
leaders was fun, we found a lot of potentials, but we had to wait until
THIS WEEK to find out if they have any real potential.
So, the verdict has arrived, I am staying in Chicoutimi!!!! I'm
really happy about that! I love this area, and we have found tons of
people who are really cool! It's such a shame, because the movies, or
the stories from other missionaries never quite grasp the real feeling
of being a missionary. Yes, there are those humerous stories, but really
what is the best about missions are the people. Before my mission, I
didnt think i would enjoy the mission at all, because the things we do
are not really all that exciting. What makes a mission so fun and
awesome, are the people that you find, and teach, and talk to. That's
what makes it the best.
Speaking of awesome people, we found another new investigator!!
He is 16, soon to be 17. He's really cool. He
likes to work out, and God and religion are important things for him!
That's pretty rare. so he was one of the many miracles this week. We
have been teaching and talking to a lot of young people because we have
found knocking around a cegep is really effective. ahh.... cegep.
Especially in this nice weather, people are just out and want to talk to
you!
Hmm... [the couple we're working with] are super awesome as usual, but
they have a few things seperating them from baptism. We've tried to get
them to commit, but they aren't quite ready yet. We think it's time for
drastic measures; playing warhammer with [the husband] on mondays. Oh darn. I
really hope I can stay i contact with them after my mission. Hey momm,
have you been studying your French lately? Because I'm planning to skype
with some people back here, and since we want to come back and visit (
we do, right?) It would be great if we could have two people who spoke
French up here. I realized how funny that would be if we came back , and
I understood everything, and you all just had blank stares. But I
definately want to keep in contact with the people up here! Awesome
investigators like [the couple we're working with].
I'm kinda worrying about all this because this week I had a
scary dream that I came home and did......... nothing. I did absolutely
nothing. nothing changed, I had the same old habits. I lost my French.
It was scary. So I kinda took that as incentive, (and maybe a warning)
to not "go back to my old nets"when I get home. that's kinda been my
preoccupation this week.
Soo I love you all! I hope all is going well for you!
Hey, how do mondays usually go at home? like do you all just kinda take
turns to read my letter, or do you read it out loud, or what?
Sophie! I'm sooooo proud you got to level 4 on Galaga all by your
self! That's stinkin inpressive! I was not expecting that.
Love!
CALVIN
