Dear Family.
Well it seems like you've had a wilder week than I could have imagined! I'm sorry to hear about Grandpa, and the house, and the fence, and everything else that went down, sheesh! Happy birthday Chandler, those mocassins look super comfortable.

This week we found some new investigators, one particularly who has only been in canada for 3 weeks. He's from....Namibia? Somewhere in Africa, he's a refugee. We've been trying to help him find an apartment and a coat and some boots so he can be ready for winter. Speaking of winter it has been wonderful here! There's no snow on the ground, averaging around 40-50 degrees with light rain, what a blessing! this winter is going to be a short one, and I'm already enjoying it more that the last one.
We're having a big push for baptisms right now in our zone, and it's working. People are giving the last 10% to find those investigators and commit them. We're excited to see the zone double it's baptisms by the end of January.

Church is a hoot, I love Canadian people. So very polite! We've been taking the buses a lot this last week. It's kinda different, because you can't actually contact people directly, you have to casually bring it up in conversation... A little more difficult! but it's a fun new challenge. We've gotten lost a couple times, and usually end up running down through down town Ottawa to get home on time and such. It's fun.
Well that's about all for this week, have a good week, and enjoy December!
Peace be the journey,
