JUNE 10, 2009

Well, the weather here recently has been kind of rainy. It's been nice though, the area has really needed it.

Our investigators, the ones we get to see and talk to anyway, are doing pretty well. We are still struggling to contact Lorraine and her family. We found a couple of new investigators yesterday. They are a man named Raymond Smith and his son, Caleb. Caleb was originally investigating the gospel through the Fourth Branch which is the singles branch. His Dad went with him to a meeting where the Sister missionaries were in attendance. They asked Raymond if he was interested in taking the discussions. He said yes, so Elder Hamilton went with Brother Barker, our ward mission leader, to his house Tuesday night. I was on splits with Bishop Himmelreich. We met with some of the ward families to teach them about the ward mission plan and how they could do something in the mission plan to help the work progress. We will be meeting with member famlies on splits with the Bishopric once a month on the second Tuesday. Things went well Tuesday and hopefully it will continue.

Transfer day is coming up on Monday, June 15. From good information sources, I've been told that I have a 75% chance of leaving Innisfail this transfer. I've been on my mission for six months. Tonight, June10, I will be taking one of my really ugly ties I bought at Value Village, Canada's version of DI, and burn it. This is a mission tradition. I will send pictures with my next letter home so you can see what happened. Hopefully no really big fires or anything.
