glad your facebooking is going well also dad. On this side of canada there is no fry sauce to speak of, but it wouldnt surprise me too much if there was fry sauce in Alberta.
funny story about G-Man too, if thats what he likes then go for it, i bet griffin got a bunch of little slaps on his stomach because he was shirtless though.
also some cool stuff about kylie, so i expect her to be president by the time I get back.
Is the movie playing close by your?
are you allowed to see it?
Could you bring investigators to it?
The only thing I've seen/heard about this movie is from me going on Mormon.org on preparation day. a sister from alberta told me yesterday also that her ward back home had a big showing about it. but really I know nothing about it, so i'm guessing neither me nor any of my investigators will be seeing it any time soon. I'm glad it was good though.
apparently Monday was Canada's Thanksgiving. Did you celebrate at a member's home?
no but a the relief society president (who is tongan) had all the missionaries in the ward over to the church and she and some other people cooked up a ton of food, it was pretty awesome
If yes, what did you eat?
turkey, mashed potatoes, pumpkin pie, shishkabobs (filipino woman made those), gravy, other delicious thanksgiving type stuff.
Did seem like the same sort of holiday as it does in America?
very very similar, it seems like most people got their celebration traditions straight from America.
did you ask anyone what Thanksgiving means for the Canadians? (No pilgrims and the Indians, I suppose).
yes, response: "I really dont know" apparently it really isnt that big of a deal to Canadians. 1 Sister from Alberta told us that no one back home ever really even celebrates it. so basically no one really knows, canada just likes holidays. the funny thing is that it seemed like the Americans were the ones who really celebrated it the most here.
Did you have other appts that day?
1 but he canceled. it was this one guy who just came to church and told us he would like to be baptized and apparently he was taught by missionaries before us but those missionaries made no teaching record of him. we were going to meet him that day but then he told us that he realized he had work that day. He was a little crazy but I've seen much worse, really hes pretty awesome.
When did you find out that Canadian Thanksgiving was Monday?
the zone leaders texted us on thursday and told us preparation day was changed to tuesday because of thanksgiving.
Do boys go out and play flag football?
i saw 1 family out playing football but aside from that, no. that family is American I'm guessing. no turkey bowl in this ward or anything.
Last week you were going to look at the thrift store; did you? did you find anything good?
we did not make it to the thrift store that day, we will get there eventually, i dont know.
have you asked anyone to help you with your GPS yet?
i keep forgetting, I will get to it eventually. I wont really need it until I get to a car area again and that is at least 5 weeks away. also we (the zone) met with President on friday and he said that he is going to intentionally try to keep people in the same place for a longer time so they can get to know and work with the ward better.
have you had your bed bugs sprayed again?
we did, and we think/hope they are all gone. it normally takes a couple days for them to really show up and start itching, and I already have a bunch of bites all over me so its hard to tell, I will know in a week or 2. (what a pain to pack up and move all your stuff...)
Anything exciting or different happening today, or this week?
This last week I decided to start learning a specific phrase in every language. I currently know how to say I am handsome in 8 different languages. English, Spanish, French, Mandarin, Arabic, Japanese, Turkish, and Cantonese.
Have you had rain this week?
yup, it rains pretty much every week. also this week has been cold. sadly the time for short sleeves is over (did I say that exact thing last week?). I wore a sweater every day last week except for today its pretty warm actually, so just long sleeve shirt.
eat at Tim Horton's this week?
nope, a woman early in the week gave us a ton of turkey and mashed potatoes and home-made mac n' cheese so we have been eating a lot of it.
Alright thats it,
I love you all!
Quinn
