Alright story time! So, once upon a time Elder Pauli and Elder Call were contacting some potential investigators, when this poor freezing dog, a Bichon Freise actually, comes up to greet us. We proceeded to call the number on its tag, which led us to some rabies vaccine dog society in Lethbridge, but they couldn't find the info to the owners. Well, we decided not to let this dog die in the cold of Canada. So, we took it with us! We kept it in our house overnight (with permission from our members of course), gave it a bath, and put up signs around the neighborhood to find its owner. We even named it Esther! Well Sunday morning comes along, and we got a call from its owner. So we drove Esther over and gave her back, and visited with the owner for a bit. And... we got a return appointment!! Score!! Haha, it was so awesome!! The Lord works in mysterious ways right?? So that was a neat experience this week.
The work here has been going pretty well! We were out and about doing a little tracting, and we were about to leave, but I felt that our work wasn't done in that area yet. So, we knocked on a couple doors, and got rejected. But we kept knocking, and a super nice lady answered, and we had a good visit, talked about families and the gospel, and she said we could come back! It was great!
I also went down on exchanges to Coutts this week and I got to see the states!! Coutts borders with Montana, so that was neat! We also gave talks at church on Sunday, visited with some less active families, and got some solid referrals! It was a great week.
So things are going great. I'm loving it! Oh, back to exchanges in Coutts. So we were knocking doors and we come across this grumpy old guy, who didn't want us there, told us were we weren't going to Heaven, etc, etc. And we just kinda stood there, and then after he was done, we started a friendly conversation and had a good talk with him! It was neat to see how things turned around! He even talked about how the Mormons helped him move in! Just goes to show that you can't just a book by its cover... or even the first couple pages!
The Church is true!!
Love,
Elder Call
