Hello from the other side!

Good afternoon everyone! We had a good week here in slave. actually it was fairly weird, but it worked out.

Monday, we tracted for like 5 hours.

Tuesday, we did service for a Filipino and all our appointments canceled.

Wednesday, we took our P-day.

Thursday we exchanged with the Athabasca elders, that was really stupid.

Friday we got back and did weekly planning in a somewhat delirious state, dude to have just got through a messed up week and from driving like 300 kilometers.

Saturday - taught 4 lessons and a got a new investigator. 

Sunday was great, we had 5 investigators at church and a number of less actives.

The records for a member randomly appeared out in a the little town of Faust, about 45 minutes west of Slave Lake. So we went on Saturday to check it out, and all the street names in this po-dunky little town are wrong on our map!! The guys address didn't even exist. But we put our heads together and using our directional skill and our ability to read extremely ghetto addresses and road signs -found the dudes house. His wife was there and she was really nice! not a member, and friendly to the church. Her husband will be out of town for a bit, but we gave him a call and he says he will seriously consider coming back to church, once he's back in town. We're hoping to teach him and his family and get them out. There are people all over the place that just need a little nudge in the right direction and they'll make changes. We just need to be in the right place at the right time!

(I found out that I can send the first names of people out here and it isn't a privacy violation.) 

Blake is the dad of the family we're teaching. He's been on fire watch for the last while, but the rains have come and so he's had time off. He came to church this Sunday and we'll be meeting with him and his family tonight! we're hoping for the best here. They just need to get a few things sorted out and they'll be baptized. We are pretty excited. 

I haven't got too much else to expound upon, but I have had a good week over all, and we'll be having a better one this week. And maybe we'll be able to go on a hike near some mountain! 

Have a good one! 

sincerely, 

Elder Higginson
