The first one from Canada

Welp. I'm here. It's for real now. Canada has treated me nice so far. I was able to stay at the mission home for a few days and then I had a 8 hour drive out to where I am right now. Which is the beautiful town of Melville in Saskatchewan. My companion is Elder Lee and he's from Alberta so so far I've had companions from Canada and more specifically Alberta. I've already done street contacting, tracting, teaching member families, and teaching less actives. I think i'm doing well for only being out for less than a week. My branch, the Yorkton branch, is a nice little branch with a lot of good people. I think I've already picked up how to say Eh but I have not incorporated it into my speech yet. However a lot of canadians say Oh yah like OOhhh YAaahh and I've started saying that a lot. Something else I've kind of started saying is Give 'er which is similar to me saying go ape or something like that. I'd like to thank y'all for all your good thoughts and prayers. I've been doing pretty well out hear and hopefully it'll get even better. I hope y'all are doing great and if you have any questions I'd love to answer them but till then keep on keeping on.


p.s. I forgot to include this but I've got to say the hardest thing for me so far. It's been learning to change my vocabulary. Between tracting these massive houses and trying not to say stuff like cool or awesome changing my vocab is harder for me. So if any of you have some good synonyms for awesome that would be great. and neat doesn't cut it. neat is used way too much out here and it doesn't even make sense. All I want to do is say stuff like "how neat is that?" "It's pretty neat" ugh I now know how hard it is for someone to stop swearing...

My companion is Elder Lee. For some reason he reminds me of Connor a bit so that's weird. Also I'm in Melville which is near Yorkton in Saskatchewan. There is some great members here but very few of them. The branch we go to generally has 40 people go to it of which only one family is from Melville. Another is about 15 minutes away from Melville with the rest from Yorkton. That leaves a lot of room for improvement.
