I did hear about that shooting, and you are correct that it did happen in Ontario. The only thing is that Toronto is in Ontario as well. The shooting was in Ottawa which is the capital of Ontario (or all of canada I cant remember). but yea that is pretty far away, Ottawa actually is one of the few parts of ontario not in our mission. I'm not actually sure which mission it is, it possibly might be part of the Quebec, Montreal mission.
Wow I wish our ward had a halloween party, i love chili. Luckily here I've learned about a whole ton of other things that are better though, like roti, and shawarma pizza.
Excited to see what G-man's rex kwon do outfit. Also I thought his pushup story was very funny, read that one to my companion.
Wheelchair basketball is something I have actually wanted to try for a while so that sounds super fun.
wow its lucky i wasnt playing in that football game or I wouldve scored all my teams touchdowns.
You have never before talked about a new area that was created. You mentioned that in your last letter. So, does your WARD have 2 area's in it now?? That seems like it must be a large map area for one ward! So, will you have 2 sets of elder's going to the same ward?
So our ward covers the entire downtown section of ontario, which is tons of people. So before there were actually 2 sets of missionaries, now there are 3 sets, Toronto North (sisters), Toronto South (us), Toronto East (New sisters).
If missionaries don't come and play sports for p-day, what do you think they do for fun that day?
really not sure, probably eat, sleep, or shop. dont worry i make fun of missionaries that do that.
Do you have a favorite outfit you like to wear? or a favorite tie?
yes, i love my white shirt, slacks, and tie! oh and my name badge too, that one is sweet. I actually do have a favorite tie though, well its kind of a tie between the ties (pun entirely intended) I love my turqoise one but the orange polkadot fish one you gave me for my birthday is awesome too though. I would like the orange one better except that the tie material is not as nice, it is more thin and wrinkles really easy where i tie the knot.
Do you study the PMG every day? Do you just read different parts, or do you start at the first, go to the last?
I try to read from it every day, sometimes I forget though. Normally for personal study, the first half hour I study from PMG/scriptures specifically things that I will be going over that day, then the next 15 minutes i read from the bible then the next 15 i read from the BoM
Do you always do Companion Study? How do you decide what to study together?
yes companion study is every day. normally we study a little about what we are doing that day as well.
Do you find it is getting easier to start conversations with people? Is it easier to bring up the gospel? I think having that badge is a GREAT advantage! Hmm, maybe I should get a shirt that says "ask me about my 5th son".....that could be my "badge".
It is pretty easy on the street, the only thing i have a problem with is talking to people on the buses and the subway. that one is a little awkward when someone isnt interested at all and you end up sitting right next to them the rest of the trip.
Did you have any rain last week? Are you prepared for rain? Meaning do you have something to protect your suit? If you don't I think your suit will stink if it gets wet.
it did rain last week, it rains like every week its crazy. I don't have anything to protect my suit except a broken umbrella, but i almost never go anywhere in my suit for very long so its not that bad. i do have a good rain jacket too that would fit over my suit.
When is your next zone conference?
I think next transfer so at least like 4 or 5 weeks.
How often do you meet as a district?
every week that we dont have a zone meeting, so most weeks.
What time are you supposed to be in your apartment at night? Have you ever been late? Do you text or call someone and tell them you are in?
we are supposed to be there at 9 or we can get back at 9:30 if we have a lesson. but yea i have been late before, we have to call our district leaders if we are late.
Are you happy with the number of socks you have?
yes I'm all good. In my last apartment the last missionary left a bunch that he didnt need so i took those too. so I have plenty.
Are you happy with your ties?
Yes they are great, thank you.
What was your best meal from last week?
On saturday a member took us to this restaurant called Swiss chalet. they are all over in canada. they are famous for their chicken, it was great.
Do you and your companion both set your alarms? Maybe you only need one to go off, then you both wake up.
yes we both set our alarms to help us wake up and then remind us to wake up.
Anything on your Christmas Wish List? Start thinking!
wow, ok i need to start thinking actually, ask me again later.
Playing sports as usual today?
of course! always
Meet any new people last week?
yes, we met this guy named muhammad who is from some place by kenya, hes pretty sweet. he was busy but he was excited to have us back. and we are helping a lady named tammy quit smoking.
Anyone come to church?
nope we had stake conference which is far away so no one wanted to come :(
Do you and your companion always sing the songs at church?
yes
alright thats it, i love you all!
Quinn
