District Activity
Saying good-bye to Elder Renshaw
Hey fam,
Yea I don't think I'll need the new scriptures, I read the feedback on them and
looked at my comps new scriptures and it didn't look that exciting. Oh well, maybe
the next addition will have more stuff and be actually worth while. But the ones I
got right now are great. I made some scripture boxes for them a couple of months
ago with a bunch of mission and church memorabilia on it. I'll see if I can send
some pics of it next week. My comp Elder Renshaw is pretty dead right now, he
arrives home on Thursday and he's super excited but sad at the same time. He
loved the mission and is planning on visiting in the summer. Just the other day
we went to his final interview with President and after on our way back he
wanted to see some of the memories of specific areas in Calgary. I'll send you
some pics of us and our final memories together. It was fun serving with him and
we're probably going to miss each other. We worked though and managed to find a
lot of people to teach.
Oh and big news, Chee Wee is planning on going to the temple pretty soon to
start doing baptisms for the dead and he wants me to go with him as a witness.
He's progressed so well in the gospel and has been reading the Book Of Mormon
every day and has the Aaronic priesthood now. We've also been working with a
recent convert named Gram Padler and he's been a member for about three months
but never got prepped to receive the priesthood in the YSA ward he was in and so
we prepped him and now he has it and will eventually go and do baptisms as
well. We also found this one investigator whose name is Kate and is going to UOC.
But we'll have to pass her off because she's YSA, but she's solid, she really
likes what we teach and is pretty ready. We're going to teach her on Friday and
hand her off to the sisters of the YSA ward. We had to do this to a lot of
people and hand them off but it's alright because we're getting a lot of
investigators handed to us as well.
About Christmas, I just picked up some socks not too long ago and they seem
to be pretty sturdy so I think I'll be good for socks. Maybe a tie or two would
be nice, not sure what else I would like. When I got to the apartment there
were a bunch of study materials, so I think I'll be good for studying. Oh, did
Heather come back from Mountainview yet? If so, I think she has a bunch of
books that I aquired from the members in Cardston.
Well that's all for this week.
Love you guys,
Elder Gagnon
