October 15th Letter

The Calgary West zone after playing capture the flag

The Temple plot! AMAZING!!!!!

Clark Kent!!!!

Playing with the companions camera, its a cool color mode capture thing.

This is kinda funny because I'm writing two emails to you at one time. crazzzyyy. absentee? coool. You'll have to tell me how to vote, i trust you guys. Seriously, the church makes this world so small and you can instantly become friends with someone even if you don't have ties with someone. its amazing. I've had two girls in the institute ask me if i know Andrea Forsythe. She's one of the divine six, and she has relatives up here. I guess they were looking at her facebook pictures and saw me and made the connection. weirdddd. these people know my true self! aghhhhh! but its way fun to find those connections. yikes, mom, PLEASE don't send any pictures of the oral surgery. I wouldn't want to have to see ANYONE in that pain or circumstance. I really wish they would've let me see my bone and teeth though. BUT I DON"T WANT TO SEE YOURS!!!! that's cool that barb thanked you for breaking the ice. Maybe after the mission i can go convert him. :) I'll have all this practice with hard nosed Canadians. I've noticed that "caucasian" people, where's caucasia anyway?, are much more prideful that others. whats our deal man? agghhhh Wicked is so good!!! I can't believe how old the grand kids seem. Maddie's in 5th GRADE! yikes. Prepare for middle school aka outer darkness. 900 miles didn't seem that bad? haha that's about how long we get to drive in a month. 1600 kilometers aka "clicks" More fires?! good grief. holy marriage....Anthony this weekend?! wow. PLEASE tell him to write me, i miss him. Make sure Katie sends me the pictures!!! The music I've asked for is good to go. Other missionaries have it. just Sunday music really. Jericho road, EFY stuff, motab, you know. soft uplifting stuff. I've really been working on the piano and can sight read many hymns. I can play choose the right, come thou fount, let us all press on, praise to the man, lead kindly light, i need thee every hour, guide us oh thou great Jehovah and more like that. its fun! Temperature is definitely dropping. its hitting 2-7 degrees C as a normal. oh i hate windchill. but i am well fortified with jackets and stuff! Tell Robyn miles she still has my headband, and she better be sporting it with pride! We got a couple of inches of snow, but nothing stayed at all. its gonna hit 17 degrees on Friday so that's exciting! My companion has taught me not to be a robotic missionary. The best missionaries are the ones who are themselves and teach in a way that people can relate to. Investigators feel more comfortable when you aren't all Holier than thou-ish. haha, no towel turkey yet, but maybe sometime! that would've been good for thanksgiving. in October? dang Canadians. One thing i love about Canada is the phrase Gong Show. Its used to describe an event or something that is just crazy, as in not organized and stuff. Washroom sounds a lot better than bathroom, and perogies! aghhh they're amazing. like potstickers, but with potato and bacon inside! well, I've gotta go, I'm sending a letter home soon so I'll write some fun stuff there! LOVE YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL
