HI EVERYONE,

Big news! I'm a TRAINER. My new companion is Elder Anderson. I have also been called to be a District Leader. As if that wasn't enough, Elder Anderson and I are opening an area that hasn't had missionaries for about 4 1/2 months. We are stationed in Peace River. It's going to be fun to see how everything gets rolling.

My area also covers High Prairie, Valley View and High Level. It is very unlikely that we will every get to High Level. We are currently staying with the Branch President, Brother Croward and his family. I think it will be temporary. The missionary work is okay so far. We will be finding out a little more as we talk with Brother Croward as to what has been happening and what we can do to make things happen. We will have to contact our investigators in High Prairie to give them our new phone number and set up times we can meet with them.

I received some sad news. Do you remember that I stayed with the Quintons in Innisfail? A couple of weeks ago, Brother Quinton found out he had cancer. Then a week ago he passed away. He was buried on Canadian Thanksgiving. The Quintons let me use an extra blanket they had so I never bought one. I will passing on my "heirloom blanket" I received from my trainer to Elder Anderson soon. I will have to purchase one soon. We are currently having an Indian Summer up here. It's cold, but not unusually cold like it is in the winter. It can get a bit nippy at night. Most of the trees have lost their leaves and are frozen. It think that is due to the cold spell we had recently.

I am looking forward to our Stake Conference this weekend. I understand President Monson will be speaking. I know it will be good. Hope you have a good week.
