Wow. You guys left to go camping before 7:00 p.m.? Holy cow! That’ a new record I think! hahahahaha, hopefully you guys all have fun! I’m jealous!

So this week was the best week of my entire mission! We found 6 new investigators! It was like a new record! That is unheard of. It was beautiful. We even set a baptismal date for one of the people to work with. It was so exciting! We had some amazing lessons and these people are really going to progress, hopefully to baptism.

We played soccer with some of our friends this week. They are some guys from Nigeria and a guy we met on the bus who randomly bought us Subway cause he works there came. It was so much fun, I’ll send the picture. Also we're meeting with that guy on Tuesday. He's a hardcore party-er, but such a good guy. 

We've been doing hardcore circuit workouts 3 times a week, basically crossfit stuff and I’m dropping weight like a mad man. Also i just eat rice and fish and vegetables now so I’m pretty healthy. It feels good.

We went to the lake on Saturday. Williams lake, by Boisevain, about a half hour from the border. It was nice, we went for the ward bbq. We stopped by this giant turtle so ill send you some pics.

We’ve been working our tails off ever since I got to brandon and its so nice to finally see some results after 2 months. 

I know this church is true. I love being a missionary, and being able to help people cope with things in their lives. The gospel can heal addictions and spiritual wounds. I love you all!
