Howdy doody y'all!!!! It's been another week here in Calgary North, and lemme tell you............ It's been ight!!! We totally have like 5 investigators (2 couples and a single lady) who are all pretty stinkin solid!! We had a lesson with Maricel on friday and it was pretty nice!! It was the first time i met her but they had a lesson with her a week prior on exchanges. Sicne the last visit, they asked her to pray about what they'd talked about, and she had been doing it!!! We shared the gospel of Jesus Christ with her, and asked if she would be baptized if she received an answer, and she hesitated a bit... but then i told her that we know it's a hard choice to make and big change, but that as she prayed for help and guidance, Heavenly Father would give her strength and and she would know that she's making the right decision, and she was like "yeah, that's true, i'l definitely be thinking and praying about it." SO AWESOME!!!! She's pretty solid if i do say so myself :) We also had a lesson with a younger couple who are from Mexico. Super nice people. They have one 6 year old daughter, and the husband is attending the college up here studying oil engineering. We taled about the plan of Salvation with them and she had a couple questions about resurrection, which we answered and she liked the answers :) they both participated a bunch, and a couple times, the member we brought chimed in too, and it was so PERFECT!!!! It was a really good lesson overall and i think the spirit was at LEAST telling them that what we were talking about was good :) at the end of the lesson, we asked the husband if he wanted to choose someone to pray, and HE DID IT!!! It was also a real prayer and not one of the Catholic recited prayers, which is AWESOME!! They told us they'd be praying about what we talked about and are looking forward to meeting again next week :) Anyways, the work is going good!! It's pretty flippin nice to have investigators you have to think about :) i just need to get Sanchez to understand that just because the scriptures say "take no though before hand," it's not saying that you don't have to plan the lesson!! I've yet to do comp. study with him, but imma try and get pres. to talk to us because we have a few problems that i can't approach without him biting my head off.... BLEH!!!! Whatevs, i'm learning more than i ever expected to.. haha!! i KNOW i wouldn't have learned this much in the Navy. Again, thank you EVERYONE for all you do to help me be out here. I'm really trying to work as much as i can to show my Lord how eternally greatful i am for all the people who have made my mission possible and are still helping. Thank you guys, and i'll continue letting you know how i'm doing out here :) I LOVE YOU!!!!! until next week :) Love, Elder Levi Windham p.s. i named my email this because for SOME REASON, Canada forgot how to snow and it only snows like maybe 10 minutes a week, then a bit on sunday night just before pday.. what's up with dat??
