August 13th Letter-First from Calgary!

Hey! I'm here in Calgary! My trainer, Elder Page and I just got done shopping, and before that we went tracting and i placed a Book of Mormon!!! Not too sure if the guy was really interested but hopefully it sitting on a shelf will one day help him. I'm in the Calgary West Zone serving i9hn the Brentwood YSA ward. We have a dinner appointment tonight so iguess that'll be another taste of missionary work.
Just in case you were wondering, FAITH WORKS. I left my study journal, my notebook that has all my addresses and special letters in it, not to mention PRICELESS notes, on the pay phone in the airport, and i realized it at 29,000 feet. I was DISTRAUGHT. But i prayed ALOT with faith and asked other people to pray with me and my trainer just got a call that someone turned it into lost and found and it'll be here in 3-4 days! AGHHHHH i can't telly you how happy that made me. Aimee, I'm so sorry that i wasn't able to call you. The phone card had a bunch of money on it so i thought that i was ok but it turns out that everytime you call from a payphone it deducts 95 cents. NOT COOL. So i ran out of minutes really fast. Just know that i love you a bunch and miss you guys too! rest of family, keep sending letters! they're fun!
Just for safekeeping, i think it'd be best if you took the letter or package to the desk when you send something, just so you can know whats going on.
From what i hear, canadian mail isn't the best. but hopefully i'll be able to get stuff soon! Mom and Dad, the mission president is sending you a picture of me with them and a postcard of the Cardston Temple, just so you know. Its really going great here, I'm extremely nervous, but i know it'll all be good! My goal:work hard enough to do something AWESOME. (paraphrase of a psych quote!) don't forget to tape those for me! Uh, i don't really know what else to say, it was great to hear your voices, even though it was short. Thanks a bunch for all your support and everything! I know you're probably waiting for a message that you can share in relief society and priesthood, so i'd suggest that you share that faith one. its a good story. Well, i love you guys and hope everything is going good! Don't sell the house!!!!!!!
