Things continue to chug along

Hey everyone!

soaking wet after getting caught in the rain street contacting.

Well this week has been cold. Dad you said 55-60*? Well our car says 6*C so i think that's around freezing, no? Not sure. But we've got our boots and coats out for some days- especially when we're walking a lot. We found some hand warmers in our apt and they saved our lives a couple of days ago! This week was also a little slower...students are having midterms so they aren't to fond of meeting with missionaries. But a few of them are! and those certain people are awesome:

Garrett- IS DOING FANTASTIC! he's getting baptized on Sunday! :) :) :) He got a priesthood blessing last Sunday from our zone leaders and I was asking him about it and it really calmed his nerves! He had a very cool experience that definitely strengthened his testimony! It was really cool to see the spirit work through me as we were teaching him after GC last Sunday and I just felt like i should ask him if he needed a blessing because he was telling us how anxious and nervous thinking about it all was making him. He didn't know anything about blessings but as we taught him about it he said he would like one. So we called up our ZLs and they came and helped him out. As we were planning his baptism with him yesterday before church you could just tell how excited he really is for it. His parents are coming and if his mom is on call for work she doesn't want her phone to ring during the baptism. So pray that she's not on call and that it WILL happen on Sunday! The chinese elders in the branch also have a baptism so it's a double whammy. We're having dinner with his family tonight!

Pink pants girl- her name is Alison. We went with the chinese elders and met her this week. It's cool to listen to a lesson in mandarin! They committed her to be baptized the first sunday in November. She was at church yesterday, i hope things continue to go well!

Justin- Bombed our apt this week, and was sick yesterday. Boo. But we did talk to him and after midterms get over with hopefully things will pick up again.

Kevin- Midterms...

We have a couple of new gators. Jamie plays hockey for Waterloo. We taught her the Resto and it went well. She googled mormons before hand...haha but wasn't anti'd. that's a bonus!

Things continue to chug along. We got quiet a few potentials this week that we're excited to contact and hopefully teach!

Homecoming festivities sound good as usual. Sounds like Aunt Audrey represented!

a train that runs through Waterloo- carries people, reminds me of the harry potter train

Mom, that show 'the district' you were talking about that was on inbetween GC sessions- we use those daily! Especially while training. They're fun to watch, eh?

We went to Cambridge yesterday-another city within our boundaries. Technically our stake boundaries are huge. (from what i understand) i think they go way up north...owen sound? anyways, we don't ever go up there, just work around the universities but we did go to Cambridge and its beautiful! You would all love it. We crossed this bridge and looked down the river and it looked like europe. those rivers that run through england and what not. Large stone churches and walking paths lined the water. It was so pretty! especially because it was raining and the trees are still kind of orange and red. Very picturesque!

Well...I think that about covers it all. We're excited for this coming week- hopefully lots of miracles will happen! Including Garrett's baptism!

Love
