Fort Mac Chapter 17

to Family, Garrett, me, My, Regan, Regan Wow this week was a lot of fun and really just a great week. :D Monday We did the normal P-day stuff. Emailed, shopped, did laundry and played games. :) We didn't have a supper. Sis Fitzner offered, but we were going over there on Wednesday so we really didn't know. Well it wasn't much of an option. We had supper with Fitzners and then went and saw Olsen's. We then tried some potentials.  Tuesday Well we did our studies and lunch. We then went to see Grandma Jean. We went with Sis O'Bray and Shannon. It was a pretty great lesson. We thought she might be ready for the baptism invitation again, but clearly not. Don't know how much longer we will be teaching her. We then went and saw Bud and Dan. It wasn't much of a lesson with them. Bud is forgetting a lot and doesn't remember he has a testimony of the Book of Mormon. We then went and did Facebook. We then waited for a bit until the zone leaders made it. We had supper with them and then went on exchanges. I was with Elder Christensen. It was cool to be with him. He was my MTC comp. We've both changed so much it's awesome. :) We stopped by a few potentials. We actually got in with Gerald and Eileen. It was a good lesson. We taught them briefly about the restoration. We are going back this week to see them again. :) Wednesday We did our studies and lunch. We then decided to go exploring a little bit and went to check out Saprae Creek. It's a cool place. It's a little community with big lots. Found one potential. We then drove back to meet with Mark. We talked to him and introduced the Plan of Salvation. We then tried by some potentials and tracted. We then had supper at Fitzner's. 32 oz challenge. :) :P I'll lay it out for you. You start with an Ice Cream bar (palette cleanser), 32oz or more steak with potatoes, corn, salad, and at least 2 buns. Once that is done you eat another palette cleanser then dessert. "If you can still see the dessert, there isn't enough whipped cream." Dessert covered in whipped cream and one final palette cleanser. :) I did it. We each had a 36oz steak. Elder Waddoups actually had a 39 oz. steak. 4.4 lbs in an hour. :P It's done. I made it. :) Later that night we went to see the Tagg's.  Thursday We had studies and then we went out for lunch with the zone leaders. We went to Mucho Burrito. We then went back and had District Meeting. We went back and were going to make calls until they were done with their lesson, but their lesson fell through so we left earlier for Anzac. We went and all got haircuts from Sis Spirig at their new salon. It's nice. we then had supper with Kidds. It was a great lesson. We talked with Bro Kidd about the tea and smoking. He put it all together himself that if he stops drinking the tea, it will help with the smoking. :) We also gave him a blessing and it was a special one. Really strong Spirit there.  Friday We did Weekly Planning. We stopped by Gabriel and set up a lesson. We tracted a bit and then went to the church for the Follow-up training meeting. It was interesting it was a video conference. The only downside was that it started an hour late. :P It was good. Interesting doing it over video chat. We then made some calls and picked up supper from Irmen's. Bro Irmen wasn't back from Edmonton yet. We then had a lesson with the Schmidt's and the Grants. It was great and very funny. :) Saturday Well we had a really good day. We did some studies then went and visited McAteer's. We then came home and finished studies and lunch. We then did quick FB time. We then had a lesson with Dan and Bud with Bro Fitzner. It was great. Reestablished that we are going to come and teach. We missed our lesson with Gabriel. We tracted and then vistited with the Landrums. We then had supper with the Sosa's. We got a lot of food. Landrums gave us some extra pizzas, and Sosa's gave us their junk food. :P. We then went and visited the Simpsons. Sunday Well we had ward council. It was High Council Sunday. We kind of got the ward in trouble for not writing the fellow shippers on the progress record. We then had church and coordination. We then had a lesson with Mark with Bro Schmidt. It was a great lesson. We taught the Plan of Salvation and Mark prayed at the end. His first prayer. :D We then tried by someone and went home to change. We tracted for a bit and had supper at Beaulne's with Nortons. It was great. We then tried some potentials and got in with Kenny. He has been around for a while, but finally let us in. Had a good talk with him. We then went and saw LA Olsen's. She is reading the Book of Mormon again. They have some strange views, but hopefully we can help them some how. Well that was my week. Things are going well. :D Love,  Elder O'Neill
