Just cause you are going to see me in 6 weeks doesn't mean I don't want emails anymore. haha just kidding. I'm sure everyone is just busy.

So this past week went pretty ok. We were down in Saskatoon this past week (I emailed last week from there) and than we had a zone meeting the following day. It was pretty fun. I always enjoy going down to Saskatoon. Than the following day two Elders came up to Prince Albert to do an exchange. It was lots of fun and we got alot of work done. Not too much happened this week though. Our investigators are coming along nicely but we discovered we are going to have to push back our two baptisimal dates cause they aren't going to make it. It's disappointing to see but at least they are still committed to being baptized.

This week I really don't have much to write about, sorry. I got a funny story but mom you can't freak out. Well the other night (sat) we were sitting on our floor and my companion sees something move under our trash can and says "I think we have a mouse" and I was like "No we don't" So he walks over there and sure enough a mouse jumps out and runs into our storage closet. We put a long mirror up to block it from going anywhere else in the house and than my companion goes into the closet with a broom to scare it out while I had two ice cream pails (one for each hand) To catch it when it came out. So after a few attempts I finally caught it and we weren't sure what to do. We ended up putting it in a trash can (Cleaned out) and put a little house for him in the trash can with a string attached to it so if we ever wanted to see him all we would have to do was lift the string. than we put saran wrap over the top of the can and put breathing holes in it (The string went through one of the holes and was tied so it wouldn't fall down). Anyway, the next morning we look in there and he had chewed the string but all the way up at the saran wrap. That little buggar, we named him Mr. Bojangles BTW (It's from the Movie Green mile) and climbed up the string in the middle of the night and than chewed the string at the very top. That must have been quite the fall but yeah, he didn't get out. That day (Sunday) we took him and threw him in the bush and today we are buying mouse traps. I'll send pictures. That was probably the most exciting thing that happened though haha. It was fun trying to catch him. I didn't know mice were so fast.

We found some ok people this week. One man was super drunk and that morning he said he prayed for someone to help him. First time he prayed in a long time and that afternoon we knocked on his door. Everytime we go over there he is drunk but hopefully we will be able to help him. We can only help if he wants to help himself.

Well not much else to write about. The Mail Strike here is over so thats good. The government passed a law that said they have to work. haha

Love,
