Fort Mac Chapter 5

Well this week was interesting for sure. Lots of craziness. It was a bit of a struggle as well. Things just didn't really work out at all. I guess that's how life goes at times. Can't always be sunshine and perfection. Speaking of sunshine though, snow is in....:P Hopefully it doesn't stay, but you never know. GO CANADA...not :) Monday Well we had Pday. It was actually pretty crappy. Things just kept falling apart for me. I tried to change the format of some of my music so it would play in the car and it didn't work. Elder Barber printed out pics without a problem. I went to print mine, no one was around to put in the code. Then when they were printed, they all left before I could pay. Really?! I was having a bad day. We went tracting at Gregoire Lake Estates and ran into a really cool guy. He opened the door and was excited about the Book of Mormon in my hand. It was really cool. We then had supper with Spirig's. We then went and stopped by the Kidd's. We are getting serious about Bro Kidd stopping smoking. Tuesday We tried by potentials and formers downtown for a while. Then we had lunch. We went to have a lesson with Grandma Jean, but Mendoza didn't show up, so we rescheduled. We then went on exchanges. I was with Elder Kriesel. That was interesting. We did a lot of potentials and tracting. We had supper at Christine's, then went to LA Olsen. We had a really good time there. Really got to know them. It was fun. That night we also got picked up by the other Elders and got to see the northern lights. IT WAS AMAZING. We really didn't see too much. The pictures I got are actually better than what we saw. Wednesday well we ended up being on exchanges for an extra 4 hours. The other elders weren't ready to exchange on time and then we were supposed to have a lesson with and investigator that moved into their area, so they stayed on exchanges until after the lesson so they could do a pass-over lesson. We then had supper at Olsen's (active). It was a lot of fun. We also had the other Elder's phone. They called us from their supper and we told them where to meet us. Well our lesson with Davis' fell through. We had to wait around until they came to get their phone. We then tried some potentials. Thursday We had District Meeting. We played a little dodgeball for an activity and then went to Subway for lunch. We then tried by a potential we had a lesson with, but they weren't home. We then went changed and travelled to Anzac. We went and helped Bro Spirig with their salon. I edged the drywall so they can start painting soon. We then had supper with Kidd's. We then drove back and helped Simpson's move. Their daughter is moving back in with them. We helped them out and then talked with them for a bit. They ordered pizza and we stayed for that. I wasn't too hungry, but can't deny it. Friday We had weekly planning, lunch, mormon.org time and then we went to see Bud. We then went and tried some potentials in Gregoire. Haven't been out there till then. We then went and helped set up for the Ward Halloween party. When it was supposed to start very few people were there. Very few people were there period in my opinion. It was still good. We then left after a little while and went to stop by some people. Saturday We went and helped Roys move some couches around. We did it quicker than they thought so there wasn't much for us to do. We talked with them for a bit. We then went and had lunch. We changed and went to Dwayne. He is cool. He was a potential and we set up a time to met with him. We had a pretty good lesson. Wasn't the most focused. We then went to Jeff and they had to cancel. We then went to Al. Well Al is a very closed. He let us in and bashed with us. It was  a bit frustrating. We then tried some other potentials. We had supper at Macpherson's. It was pretty cool. We then tried more potentials. Sunday We had Ward Council. We didn't get much of a chance to speak. We then had Church. I guess it was the Primary Program everywhere. It was cute to watch the little kids. We had Simpson's and Roy's at church. It was great. We then had lunch. We tried by some potentials, then had coordination. This ward as a plan for everything. It's amazing. We then went to supper with Galenzoski's. That was funny and weird at the same time. We then tried more potentials. Well that was my week. I know this week is going to be a lot better. I don't know how it could really get any worse. :) It wasn't a terrible week, just a lot of lows. This week is going to have a lot of highs. I know it will. :) Love,  Elder Colin O'Neill
