So sorry I didn't post this last week.

We were getting a haircut for my companion and had a couple of minute wait, so we walked into a little grocery store nearby. When we talked with the man at the counter, he asked about my name tag and that of course proceeded to what kind of Church is it, which led to the first vision and then we set up another time to come by and drop off Book of Mormon because neither one of us had a copy. We taught him all of Lesson 1 from Preach My Gospel and then invited him and his family to church. he said he'd come alone this week, but bring his family the next week if everything w okay and we weren't crazy or anything like that. Gabriel came to church and really liked it. He was actually talking about baptism. His wife, Betta, is also interested."

"The other couple are named Cody and Jill. We had talked previously with Jill, but wanted to talk to her more when her husband was there. Cody was former Jehovah Witness. He said he was forced to be there until he was 14, but couldn't take it anymore and left. he said that it turned him off to other religions for a while, but then he also said after a while he started looking into a few other religions to see what they were like. The only things he had heard about the LDS church was from the show, South Park. He said that he knows most of what they say is about 10% truth and the rest is just super exaggeration. Jill had questions about the Word of Wisdom and I tried to clear them up. We invited them to church."

"Iv'e been to the Edmonton Temple twice since I arrived. I will have another opportunity on May 11th. It will be nice to go to the temple again.
