One Baptism Coming Up!!! :D

What's up people?

So this week hasn't been too exciting except the fact that I sprained my ankle last Monday. We were playing bball when Elder Belhira (new missionary from the Philippines. Really short.) got under me, and I fell on him. Then on my ankle. Dang those Asians and their size. I couldn't walk on it for a few day without there being loads of pain. When I went on travels to Woodstock, I got to go with two other missionaries, and we decided I'd sit in the park all day and phone people, while they knocked on doors around the park. It worked. I went through all of their former investigators over the past few years (a lot), and then all of the less-active members on their branch list (again, a lot). It was a pretty good day though. I actually had more success than them tracting. Boo-frickin'-ya.

Anyways, what else has happened? We had interviews with President Brower, and when Sister Brower saw my ankle, she said too many missionaries were getting hurt from bball and she wants to ban it. If my ankle hadn't been hurting so much, I would have gotten on my knees and begged her not to. I still begged, but without being on my knees, which doesn't have the same effect. Oh and guess what else. I was talking to Elder Belhira (Phillipino) and he doesn't know Elder Laceste (another Phillipino). Weird how? And they both live in Vancouver. You'd think they'd know each other because most Asians run in a tight group. I told them that, and they thought it was funny. Oh well. They know each other now.

So we with met Emily along with the Kimballs (senior missionary couple) and she has committed to baptism on the 14th of August. So that's good. Yankes still haven't committed yet, but they are close. Church was good and they all enjoyed it too.

So guess what? Nope. Wrong. Transfer calls where last night, and I am staying in Stratford with Elder Merrill. Mixed feelings here. This will be our fourth transfer together, but I'm glad I'm staying in Stratford for awhile.

Anyways, that's life here in Bieber city. Hope yours is good too! Have a great week!
