The First Round of Pictures

THE MARRIOT MARCH

the "Marriot March" was of missionaries walking form the MTC to the Marriot Center for a Sunday Devotional (they don't fit in the MTC anymore)

ON THE WAY

16 missionaries are travelling together up to Edmonton, what could be better?

STILL BAKING AWAY

"My companion and I used the Jiffy mix to make a Widow's mite contribution to the branch putluck on Sunday. I think I did a decent job, haha. I used some butter, sugar and corn flakes (basically the only thing we had left) as a topping"

THE CAT WHO... HELPED PLACE A BOOK OF MORMON

"I was able to place my first Book of Mormon on my second day (first day proselyting)! There's a funny story that goes along with it that involves a rather Furry sister missionary. "

Going Out Into the Field!

Hey everyone!!
I'm about to head out of the MTC!!!! (at 2:30 tomorrow morning.... :P) Anyway, thought I let yall know its gonna be sweet!!! I'll be sure to send pics out soon. Oh, and yes, I know I need to cut my hair, I have an appointment in 40 minutes... lol.
So, um, cool updates... We had a devotional in the Marriot Center and Blocked traffic on University Ave. for about 30 minutes! I've got a feeling thats what the 2000 stripling warriors looked like, haha.
I've seen lots of friends and I can't wait to get pictures/emails from them all! Oh, and we had a birthday party for 2 Canadian elders in my zone, it was awesome!!!!!! Cake + 40 missionaries - forks - plates + cameras = tons of fun!! Haha, pictures will hopefully be headed out soon. Oh, if you want me to get mail you send *hint hint, haha* make sure you send it to my Canadian Address!!

The Elder Speaks: "Get ready for Awesomeness!!"

Dear Everyone,
The MTC is Awsome!! I love the missionaries in my class and we're all gearing up (physically and spiritually)! The food isn' that bad, or I've been lucky... haha! I've also seen a bunch of friends [here]!!

Oh, so a big-ish piece of news... They asked me to be a Senior Companion!!!
AND!!!
District Leader!!! (Of all 11 people, haha!)

I'm really shocked they asked me, but I'm willing and excited to serve!

Anyway, to all you future missionaries, Get ready for Awesomeness!! As I sang earlier tonight;
I believe in Christ!
So come what may!
With Him I will stand,
Till that great day!

God speed the Right & fan the flame of Faith!
