We had a fantastic week this week with so much success! Elder Low and I are working well together and we are getting along! Kinda funny but our poor truck needed more repairs this week. The tires were out of balance meaning that when we drove more than 60km/h the steering wheel would shake like crazy and the car would vibrate. talk about a smooth ride. Lucky for us the repair shop said it was their fault from last time they fixed our car so it was free!Last Sunday we were tracting but we had to get somewhere so I said "Lets just tract up to that fire Hydrant and then we will go". We did and on the very last house before the fire hydrant we tracted into a lady named Pam who invited us to come back on Monday at 5. We didn't think too much of it but we went back on Monday at 5. She was waiting on her front porch to make sure that we remembered what house was hers and to make sure we knew she was home because her outside light was burnt out. That was some major dedication considering it was like -5 C. We taught her the message of the restoration of the Gospel of Jesus Christ and invited her to be baptised! She said yes. She also invited us back on Tuesday and Wednesday and Saturday! We also invited her to church and she said yes. We arranged for a ride and when the ride gets there on Sunday morning there is Pam waiting outside in the freezing weather with her three kids because she was so excited to come to church! It is seriously a miracle that we found here and she is so ready for the Gospel.We also have another investigator preparing for baptism but we do not yet have a set date. She is reading a ton! We hadn't talked to her in a week because she was sick and then when she talked to us she informed us that she had read all of second Nephi! The work in Thompson is progressing! I am so excited for both of them to get baptised because it will make both of them so much happier.On the topic of baptisms we have a young girl from the branch getting baptised this Saturday which will be the first one since I have been here. Both here and the family are so excited for her baptism.The weather here is toying with my emotions! It will be cold and seem like winter and then it will warm up just enough to melt the snow. So for this week we have had the cold but not the snow and I'm not sure how I feel about that. I am actually getting excited for winter to be here but I probably will be more excited for it to be over because all the locals say it is way worse than Alberta's winter. Brrrr.I hope everyone has a great week and congrats to Parker for finishing his mission on Wednesday! Thanks for the good example! have a safe trip home family!Love you all!Elder Stewart
