Elder Bednar came for a visit

Woops, almost forgot to write my email to the world. Haha
So, this week was good. We visited a lot of less actives, which was awesome. One of our less actives set a date to stop smoking, so that was pretty great! We didn't see any come to church, but we are still working on that! Everyone seems kind of busy so its been hard to visit with potential investigators. But we should have a lot of work after Christmas!!
The highlight of the week was when Elder Bednar came to the mission to talk to us. He went to Calgary, but it was broadcasted throughout the mission. He didn't really speak to us. It was more a discussion, which was awesome. I learned a lot on what faith really is. We often see faith as just a belief, but it is more than that. It is action. We often pray for things to happen, but don't work for it. And faith needs to be accompanied by works! So, when we pray, we have to go out and work our hardest to achieve what we pray for. I learned a lot of other stuff, but I won't spoil the learning for you. Go to lds.org and look up conference talks :)
Missionary work is pretty great. Its hard and it doesn't come easy, but it is awesome!! So, we are expecting miracles to come as we work our rear-ends off this week!
Oh, and we got a chinook. That was pretty fantastic too!
Merry 9 days until Christmas!

Love,
Elder Call

Hey mom! So I'm going to start off by answering your questions:
Did you get our Christmas package?? I'm hoping you did!!! :) 
Yup! The presents are all under the Christmas tree!! :) Oh and thanks for the granola (its almost gone) and the hand print Christmas tree (I'll get pictures to you next week. I didn't bring my camera this week.)

Did you open the box and get out the stuff that wasn't wrapped? :) If not, you can!!!
Yes I sure did :)

And I'm hoping you saved the wrapped stuff under your tree??? :)
Yes, yes I did :)

What was the best part of your week?
The Chinook. Haha! Just kidding. We actually are having some good success finding new less actives who would enjoy visits from us, so that is good!!

What was the best thing you ate this week?
Burger King! I got a smoothie, and it was awesome. :)

How did you see the hand of God in your life this week?
I saw the hand of God through my leaders and my companion helping me out this week.
