Saying good-bye to Elder Jones (he's going home), one of the first missionaries Justin met when he got to the mission
Hey family,
Not much happened this
week, only that Cardston got it's own set of Sister Missionaries which is
pretty cool, we got Sister Long, Lanham, and Stucki. They're all from Utah and
they're working great here in the area. We had to hand off a lot of our people
that we were teaching to them but now we're going to try and find more people to
teach. Oh and also the district ended up splitting, so now Magrath, Raymond East
and Raymond West are now their own district and Cardston West, East and the
Sister Missionaries in Cardston are going to be their own district. Before they
were combined in one, so now there are three districts in the Fort Macleod zone....the areas include: Clairsholm/Champion, Fort Macleod, Pincher Creek. The three areas
in Cardston, Magrath, and both areas in Raymond. This is just crazy because now
there are 19 missionaries in the zone and soon they might be splitting both stakes
in Cardston and possibly splitting the zone into two zones. One being a Cardston
zone and a Fort Mac zone. Lol! It probably sounds like I'm speaking chinese! But
this is super cool how the mission is just growing like crazy. Oh and we might be
getting a couple of baptisms pretty soon. It's the Olsen family who have been
less active for years and we got them to start coming back to church and a couple
of their kids are interested in joining, so tonight were going to set a
date for the end of the month for a baptismal service. There are also a lot of
investigators that are going to start progressing pretty fast....one of them being
Joseph H., who just needs a confirmation that the Book of Mormon is true. He
told us last time that he wants it to be true and that he would like to be
sealed to his wife because so far he's been seeing the blessings of living gospel
principles. Oh and tell Andrew I hope that he passes everything. That would be nice.... just tell him to work hard and to set goals and make plans. Tell him to read the
quote on page 146 of Preach My Gospel. It's something I wish I had known before my
mission because it is such a good life skill that's just great, if mastered. Tell
him to read a lot of Preach My Gospel because there are so many life skills that
are outlined....it's crazy!
Well I better get going....
Elder Justin Gagnon
