Hey family,
Well I haven't hit a year yet, in three days I will though. Me and my
companion (Elder Renshaw) plan on burning a shirt though since I'm hitting a
year. There are a couple of shirts that the past missionaries left here, so
we'll burn one of those. I'll see if I can get a video of it and get one of the
members of the ward to send it to you guys. Elder Renshaw is great though, we
have a lot of fun together but we still work hard. Oh we were also told to go to
down town Calgary to teach a French man the other day but I found out that his
English was super good so we handed him off to the Calgary 5th ward Elders. He
is so ready to be a member though and this is the second time we had to hand off a
super solid investigator. Oh well, he's in good hands though and I'm sure he'll be baptized
pretty soon I think. Catherine sent us a message on the phone and told us
she didn't want anything to do with the church anymore and that she'll be saved by grace. That's too bad, but I hope she'll find her way
back some day. Georgina is doing well, but I'm not sure how far she'll go
because she hasn't been very good about keeping appointments lately. But we are picking up a
new investigator tomorrow, his name is Terry and he seems to be very open minded
which is good. So hopefully we'll see some progress with him. The district
leader calling though is nothing too special, I just have a bit more
responsibilities like gathering numbers and sending them to the Zone leaders and
preparing weekly trainings. Oh and for your talk, one thing I like doing when I
teach about sacrament is going over the sacrament prayer. One thing I found out
in personal study one time was trying to read the sacrament prayer in the first
person. It makes it really personal when you read it that way and I get more
out of it when I think of it that way. Try it out and tell me how it goes.
That's something cool you can add in your talk. Oh and our apartment is nothing
special. It's just like any old apartment but I'll send some pics next week of
it. Oh and have I told you that it's right across the street from the McMann
stadium and so some nights are a little crazy when there are football games and
stuff happening. That's about it for this week. Can't wait too hear from you
next week!
Love you guys
Elder Justin Gagnon
