How's life?
So it was Mother's Day yesterday. Hopefully you all took time to talk to your Mother. They did give you life after all. And most of them loved you.
Anyways, this week has been uneventful (still no Bieber) but things should start picking up soon. We did get some new investigators however. This lady came into the church on... Wednesday, I think. She decided if there were cars in the church parking lot, then she'd go in and ask for the missionaries to visit her family. Elder Merrill and I, with Wright and Tripp were in there, and we set up an appointment to visit her family. Turns out, she's been less-active for years and decided to come back. So now we are teaching her and her family. She has a husband, two daughters and a son. We'll see how that progresses along.
Monday was P-Day and I GOT TO VOTE! AND THEN THE CONSERVATIVES WON! HAPPY DAY! NAY! HAPPY WEEK! I was pretty happy about the results. Who has two thumbs and got to vote? This guy! I was pretty stoked about voting. I almost didn't get to though, because I am from another province, so they need proof of residence here, in Ontario. I tore up my apartment looking for the dang (I use this word to describe my feelings then. I was beyond angry because I couldn't find it, and the office couldn't send me a new one) thing. I found it in the nick of time though, and got to vote. :D
Tuesday, we knocked a lot of doors. It was boring, but hey, knocking doors usually is. We also stopped at Chevy to get our car remote fixed because someone broke it. Not cool.
Wednesday we had district meeting, and that's when Heather Yanke showed (that's the lady's name).Then I got to spend the day in the hospital with Elder Wright! Brings back good memories of our time together in Windsor. Unfortunately for me, preschool tv was on, and 2 and a half hours of that and "You're watching Treehouse!" can really make someone want to destroy the tv. Luckily there were newspapers and magazines, so I didn't have to watch the madness. My kids are growing up on 'Chuck' and 'Glee'.
Then after that, we taught this former investigator but turns out she only met with us to ask how we buried people in the church. She heard that we burn people from their toes up. Weird.
Thursday was weekly planning, and then we got to meet the Yanke family. The lesson went well, and they seemed attentive. So we are going back for dinner this week and another lesson. We'll see how that turns out.
Friday was a lot of driving. We used up 200km! Omigosh. I was not happy. We went to Clinton to visit a few members there, then we went up to Blyth to visit the Less-Active. I accidentally called and started this whole thing. Turns out he moved to another town, so we had to drive all the way to Hensall. He was a pretty neat guy, but after learning all of the km we used, I was not a happy camper (We only get a certain amount of km a month).
Saturday... What happened Saturday? Truthfully, I can't remember. That's ridiculous. It was free comic book day! But there are no comic shops in this city. Boo.
Sunday was Mother's Day (Duh.). We went to church like good little missionaries, then we had lunch and did some finding. Elder Merrill got to talk to his family, then we had dinner. I got to talk to mine. It was good. I really enjoyed getting to talk to them. It wasn't long enough though. Now I have to wait for Christmas.
Anyways, that's it for this past week. Hopefully your next week will go well, and hopefully mine will too!
Peace!

PS Omigosh! Lakers lost! Dang! I think either Chicago or Miami will take it this year. We'll see what happens!
