Everything here has been good. we have been doing a lot of tracting and street contacting. I am in an area which is the name of the community and ward. It is in the south west . we are still in the city but kinda on the edge. it is so weird being in a city i dont like it compared to the small towns. my new companion is pretty good he has been out for 3 months and he doesnt talk a lot im trying to get him to talk more. The ward is really really small im suprised its not a branch. But the work is really slow right now we are trying to pick it up. We gave out book of mormons to all the young men and women and challenged them to hand them out in the coming week so hopefully that works out. I had to talk in church <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_835882679" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">on sunday</span></span> the bishop asked me 15 minutes before chruch started. i talked a little on ammon and how he baptised thousands and then i read dads story that he sent me so good thing i had that with me. well i really dont have much more to talk about hopefully i will next week. i hope that everyone is doing good. i love you</div>

his past week has been alright I was kinda sad that I got transferred and missed the baptism. but it went well I am told and its awesome even though I wasn't there to do it. it is still very awesome. I am in the Calgary and its pretty big it makes me realize how much I don't like living in a huge city. I don't mind visiting them but I don't know if I would be able to live in one for long term. But hey maybe it takes a little time getting used to. Time will only tell. This area is kind of slow most of the time it is just tracting and street contacting which is pretty fun. I like walking up to people and just talking to them its pretty fun. Tracting on the other hand isn't as fun but its not terrible. We usually just get people telling us they aren't interested and then shutting the door. Only a few times have they gotten mad and slammed the door on us for no good reason. But oh well their loss. New years was different than it has been in the years past. We didn't stay up late for it because we have to be up early and all that stuff. We went last transfer to the cardston temple and I finally got to see they new temple video it was awesome! so it has been really cold this past few weeks it has been about -25 to -30 Celsius which is pretty cold. I got stuff from sister hanberg which was really nice of her to send. I now get mail once a week instead of once a month so start sending letters I like letters they are nice to get. Well I hope that everyone is doing good I love you and stay awesome!</div>

So we got to hear from Elder David A. Bednar!! He came to Calgary for a stake conference but then he wanted to talk to us missionaries. It was so awesome he has now jumped up a few spots to number 3 on my favorite apostles 1 and 2 are President Monson and 2 is President Uchdorf hopefully i spelt that right haha its a hard name to spell. But when elder Bednar came we had a little confrence thing we didnt get to go up to Calgary to see him but it was broadcast to all of us in the areas south of the mission. He is a really awesome guy he talked to us for 3 hours answered all of the questions we had for him it was amazing. He is such an awesome guy he is really inspiring and sweet! </div>

<div>
<div style="font-family: arial,sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
I have had a good yet cold week haha it has snowed a lot this past
week. Yesterday it snowed so much that we couldn't drive anywhere and we
were already in taber and we got stuck out in taber which isn't to far
from Barnwell but we couldn't get back to our apartment so we had to
stay in Taber with the other missionaries. we pretty much had an all day
p day yesterday because at 6 when p day ends we got calls from the
assistants saying we have to be in our apartments for the rest of the
night for our safety from the storm. so we had to go to the other elders
apartment and we built an awesome snow cave thing</div>
<div style="font-family: arial,sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: arial,sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">

<div dir="ltr">
<div>
This week has been pretty good we are staying
way busy. So i have some awesome news and then other news that makes
that news not so awesome! Elder David A. Bednar is coming to Calgary for
a stake conference and is talking to all the missionaries in a little
thing. And the missionaries in the Calgary Zones get to meet him and
awesome stuff like that! Now for the other news that makes that news not
as awesome. The missionaries in the other zones dont get to meet him
and just get to watch a broadcast of him talking so that sucks because i
am not in any of the calgary zones and i want to meet him so its really
disappointing i think. But oh well we still get to see it broadcast to
us.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Well anyways there isnt anything to new
with our investigators other than we picked up a new investigator and we had a really good lesson with him and
asked him to be baptized and he said yes so that is really exciting and
we meet with him again <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1465565452" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ">tomorrow</span></span> and we will try and set a baptismal date with him. so that is really exciting. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
It is getting pretty cold but i have all
my winter stuff so that is all good the coat i bought is amazing it is
so warm! well i hope that everyone is doing good and all of that stuff
and that everyone is staying warm cuz i bet it is getting cold there
too.</div>

starting to pick up we have picked up 2 new investigators. We have been
mostly working with less active members and the investigators we have.
We went to a couple less active houses and they had non-member spouses
and we asked if they wanted to take the lessons and they said yes so
that is how we picked them up. We are planning on picking up a new
investigator <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_655649784" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ">tomorrow</span></span>
he was being taught in another part of the mission and he moved out to
here. He had committed to Baptism but never got a date because they
didnt know if he was moving or not. . Our other investigators are going really good. We explained the best we could and bore our
testimonies We committed them to
Read the Introduction of the Book of Mormon and the testimonies and they
said yes. That is a huge step because none of the other missionaries
have ever gotten them to commit to anything so we were super excited
about it and we are meeting with them again <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_655649785" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ">tomorrow</span></span>.
S is really close to getting baptized We visited with her and her husband and asked if she
wanted a blessing and she said yes a So hopefully that helps and she
will have that desire to quit and be baptized. B parents are awesome we visit with them a lot. The story of the cup that i
have at their house goes even farther now the picture that she sent to
you that cup they went and got me one to keep so i am going to have that
forever haha. :) <br />
<div>
It is getting a little cold up here it has
snowed a few times up here so canada is living up to it's name the great
white north haha. well i hope that everyone is doing good with
everything and all that good stuff i love you and remember pray always.</div>

This past week has been the same as usual. Working with mostly less active members and the same investigators we have. R said that she is going to buy me a duck dynasty cup so i can take it with me when i leave so i can have one forever haha.It is pretty cold up here it has snowed twice but melted both times within a day so thats alright i guesshaha. Halloween was good for us we had to be in either our apartment or church at 6 then we could do P-Day activities so that was nice. we just played basketball and stuff. We talked to a couple of families we tracted into and gave book of mormons to them and we got return appointments with them so thats awesome :) im pretty excited to talk with them. Hopefully something good will come out of it :) i know that if they read it with real intent then they can feel the spirit and know that it is true. </div>

Anyway this past week has been pretty good we have been mostly working with Less Active Members and trying to get them re-activated. So we were visiting with a less active m and he was a pretty cool guy he always invited us back so we thought we were having progress with him then the other day we were meeting with the bishop We have a few investigators, one that we are super close to getting baptized is S. She reads the Book of Mormon every day and has a good testimony of the Gospel but she can't stop smoking and that's the only reason why she isn't baptized yet. B is still super awesome and he loves the gospel.. His mom and dad both love us tons they always invite us over and are super nice. I have designated myself a cup that I drink out of whenever I am at their house it is a tupperware Duck Dynasty Cup with Si on it and I use is so much that they know its mine. HA Ha ,its really funny I was talking to R the other day and I was like this cup is always in the cub board and no one uses it, it's never dirty and she was like yeah because we don't want it dirty so if you come over you can use it. Ha Ha so that's really funny. K, B dad always talks about hunting and hockey with us so even though I have really never watched much Hockey before, I know tons about it now . </span><br />
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">

<div dir="ltr">
<div>
This week has been pretty busy. <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_2039926836" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ">On Wednesday</span></span> i got my new Companion who im training. His name is Elder S he is pretty cool he just graduated this year but he is 19 like me so that's pretty cool.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Nothing to exciting has happened this past week except Monday was Canadian Thanksgiving which is really weird having thanksgiving in October instead of November but there has been a couple of families that said they will have us over for the "Real" thanksgiving as i put it haha. We don't have any new investigators but we are starting to do what we call Family Mission Plans where we go around to different family's and help them set goals for missionary work in their area so hopefully that goes good :)</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
There Really isn't to much new to update on other than all of that i hope that everything is going good love you.</div>

happened we are still teaching the same people no new investigators it
is really hard to find new people that want to learn eve though we are
trying our very hardest because everyone here already knows about the
church and are either members or want nothing to do with it so we really
need the members help to help find the people that are ready to hear
about the gospel. So hopefully that will start picking up soon. So Crazy
news we got transfer notices and i am not getting transferred but my
companion is and my next companion as of right now isn't even in Canada
he is still in Provo because i am training. So thats really crazy that i
am training a new missionary. So i am going to be very focused on
showing him the ropes and doing good work.
<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I watched every session of General
Conference it was really good i enjoyed every talk. We had to go to the
church to watch it because that is where everyone goes for some reason
even though they show it on tv up here. But it was a really good
Conference. I Enjoyed Elder Hollands talk he always has really good
talks.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So funny story Yesterday <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1003539273" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ">Monday</span></span>
(P-Day) we decided to go to papa johns and get some pizza 6 of us
elders and as we got there they had a poster that had a promotion only
in Canada for the NFL what ever the highest score was that <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1003539274" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ">sunday</span></span>
we get that percentage off and they cap it at 50% and we asked a member
who loves football and he told us that the Broncos had scored 51 points
so we all orderd a large pizza and bread sticks and a soda and the
total before the discount was 160 dollars and they took 50% off and we
split it 6 ways so we all ended up paying only 12 dollars or so a peace
so that was pretty awesome. haha</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Well i hope that everyone is doing good
with everything that they are doing and let everyone know that i love
them and i am doing good and having a great time.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>

cold in the mornings its probaly around 0-5 Celsius so its a little chilly but
it usually warms up during the day but you can tell winter is coming on. Well i

<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"> This Past Week has been really good we are Teaching several investigators Ris the first one shes B's Mom and she seems like she really likes what we are teaching her and that is really good. Another Investigator is T she has accepted everything about the gospel but she just has to quit smoking. Her husband has lung failure and doesnt thing that he will make it much longer which is sad. Another Investigator is K she is really super nice and she always lets us come over when we call her. We have been teaching her for a few weeks now but nothing has come out of it. She doesnt know if the Bible or the Book Of Mormon can be true but she also wont read them to find out for her self. She always talks about faith but she has none she wont read and pray to find out for her self. Other Investigators are W and F they are both really nice they are Lutheran and we are trying to teach them about the Book of Mormon but they only Believe the Bible the be the word. We are trying to pick up two more Potential investigators we are meeting with them soon so that will be good. Well this week has been great i hope everyone is doing good.</span><div>

Dear Mom,<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Nothing to exciting has happened this week. We went to the temple <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_866276915" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ">saturday</span></span>
and helped one of our wards with baptisms for the dead and B who
we just baptized was there with us because he got the aaronic
priesthood. So that was exciting then. We have been teaching a few
people An lady who has lived in canada most of her life
but she still has that british accent . she doesnt have
any faith so it is really hard to teach her. Another one who we have
been teaching is W she is Lutheran and has been her whole life so
that is all she knows . she is a super nice lady and always lets us in and gives us
juice and cookies. Im not in calgary right now but if i serve in the
city i will for sure keep an eye out for her. Thats awesome that granny
got to suprise dad like that i bet he was super happy for that and let
granny know that i love her too and that i am doing great up here in the
great white north teaching everyone about this great gospel. well i
have to go i hope you and doing good at home i love you and miss you.</div>

Dear Mom,<br />
<br />
This week has been pretty good there hasnt been much change sence last week. We are teaching B's mom R we were talking with her and she told me she said something to you on facebook i cant remember what she told me she said. Anyways to answer your question no we dont eat with the same members every night its someone different every day. A member LJ said she put some pictures of us on facebook and you commented on thoes as well thats pretty cool. We has family home evening at her house last monday her husband is not a member so hopefully we will get to teach him. I did get the little package you sent me. And he will be my president for my whole mission. He leaves exactly when i leave.<br />
Winter will hit soon hopefully not to soon though but it is coming. I will buy to coat when that time comes up. I havent had the chance to write her yet but i will soon. And brother B emailed and i emailed back. That is sad to hear about C.S He was a great man and he is in a better place now with no pain and suffering.<br />
Thats crazy how big that meeting was. The best time probaly to catch Elder H in that ward is during July because that is the month General Authorities have the month off. I learned that in the MTC because we didnt get to see any talk which was sad because that would have been awesome. Well its good to hear you and dad are doing good and i love you. <br />
<br />
Love Elder Mackey<br />
