Canada is pretty hot right now, I thought that it would be cool, but no it's like 80 degrees. And you would think that it is pretty close to the United states which in a way it is but there are so many differences. When I first got here I met the Mission President at the airport. They call bathrooms washrooms, it is so weird, but I met my mission prez and his wife and went to the mission home with all of the missionaries and stayed the night there. The next day I got my real first new companion, Elder Davis. He is from Arizona and he is pretty awesome. He has been telling me all about the mission and how the missionaries have families it is so funny. So since Elder Davis is training me he is considered to be my dad and his trainer would be his dad which would make him my grandpa, and all of the people that I guess that my grandpa trained would be my uncles and the other people that my trainer trained would be my brothers. And it kinda works out the same way with the sisters its pretty dang funny. I have been assigned to be the driver which I think is pretty cool, it is helping me be able to know the area better. We get fed so much by the members and it is pretty good for the most part, until I was served a mushroom salad, I don't like mushrooms at all but I had to eat them.. People here are pretty nice for the most part. Knocking doors has been pretty exciting. There was one guy that had on his door, "no soliciting of any kind." So we figured we aren't selling anything so we will see if he is home. So it was my turn to knock and so I did and he came and answered and said, "did you read my door" and I said,"Yes we did" and then he got really mad saying that we were trying to sell him something it was pretty dang funny. I was thinking that I could also get away without having to give a talk for a while but nope, I had to give one my first Sunday, but it wasn't as bad as I thought that it would be. But other than that everything has been going pretty good.
Elder Davis has been out about 6 months and is pretty awesome. We play ball and run and lift weights every morning. He is from Arizona, he really likes to skateboard, and the flight was nice I just sent you a ton of pics it was a bit delayed but good. Door approaches are funny not as successful as the street stops though. I got to give away my first book of mormon to a Greek Orthodox and she said she would read it cover to cover and might take some discussions if her catholic husband will let her. She also might pop into church to see how it is. I am in a ward and a branch part of a rez and strathmore. I met this lady that had been taking discussions but stopped about two years ago. We taught her the first discussion and towards the end she kept reminding me of Grandma Jonna and I didn't really know what to do so at the end of the lesson that went very well I said, "You sure do remind me of my grandma that came from Denmark." (she is around 70) And then she said, "Oh my dad came from Denmark." She really opened up more to me it was so cool! It really is amazing just the little things that happen that you wouldn't think was the spirit but is. I love my mission so far so many funny experiences it's awesome! Love you all.
