Ellersie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


hahaha and that means nothing to you cause you dont know what it means hahahaha....
but in other words its THE CITY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! apparently... i dont really know but i THINK its down town.. oh i HOPE its down town.. that would be so rad... apparently it has the highest stabbing rate.. LOL ok thats not funny but the city is the BEST for street contacting and i LOVE street contacting its so so soooo fun... and i got to do that this past week with sister budge when i went on exchanges...
i have to tell you about that actually :)
exchanges: so i went to kingsway which is north edmonton but they serve in the ysa ward so we drive all over but we did street contacting for like 3 hours and i was blue from head to foot from the cold wind BUT it was sooooo cooooool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! cause normally.. NORMALLY when you go street contacting or tracting or whatever you get maybe 1 or 2 potential investigators out of it and like 5 good conversations about a gospel principle.... so uh not to brag or nothin but uh... sister budge and i???
WE GOT 7 POTENTIAL INVESTIGATORS... that means they gave us their number and address and what they wanted to learn about.... BOSSSSSSS! jk its not us its the Spirit but i was so blessed to  be a part of that whole experience :):):)
umm simone didnt come to church :( lame. and imma miss her baptism... cause she is STILL GONNA BE BAPTIZED! I CAN FEEL IT haha
BUT elysha came to church!!! :):):) i LOVE THAT GIRL ugh i am gonna miss these PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!!!! she is reading the book of mormon and even played us a song on the piano that was just perfect about her whole life changing and stuff.. haha shes so great :) (tape ;) thats for you elysha if you ever read these)
OH and guess WHAT? sister schofield is gonna be a sister training leader!!!!!!!!!!!!! go her!!! im so excited for her.. except she didnt seem to thrilled.. haha that is a HARD calling... but she will do so so sooo good :):) she is the best.. and im prolly gonna cry when i have to say see you later to her :(
i told mom already but for the rest of the world to know i chopped my hair off!!!!! i dont really know what possesed me to do such a thing but i made a video of it.. ill send it home on a flash drive.. im hillarious i just hacked it off!! but dont worry cate... its still fun :) annnnnnnnnnnnd now i have no split ends.. haha like zero!!!!!!!!!!!
ummmm what else what else.. ooooh for our last district lunch we went to this place that is called bad-a jacks.. we all thought we were hillarious... but it was great cause we taught the workers about the gospel. LOL and the wraps were delicious so it was a good deal.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOH sooooo i dont know if you have seen it yet or accepted but i need you to accept the friend request for my fb from a lady named marjorie. please?? :) thanks :)
also i havent written back to anyone this week so im soooo sorry everyone i will write you next week:) i love you all!!!
gotta run!
but before i go i gotta bear my testimony (else i would be not so missionaryish... which is silly cause i havent really been sharing my testimony in these emails that much and im sorry)
here we go:
THE CHURCH IS TRUE!!
the end.
ha jk... 
i KNOW that Heavenly Father is a real person a REAL being who LOVES us more than we can comprehend.. who is AWARE of all of us.. yes even the weird ones :) i know that his son, Jesus Christ, made it possible to live with Heavenly Father again some day, and to be so happy now, and in the future and throughout all eternity because of Jesus we can all have PEACE AND LOVE AND HAPPINESS. and i know all of this because of the Book of Mormon. which is my favorite book. it changes lives, because it has the doctrine of Christ in it.. the FULLNESS OF THE GOSPEL and we are SO BLESSED because we are apart of the church that contains it! that has the proper authority to perform the saving ordinances and i am so happy to know it and believe it and be out here living it and telling people about it. i know the gospel is what makes me so happy, and i know that Heavenly Father wants us to be happy and he always provides a way to do what we need to do to be the MOST happy we can be.
i love you all i love love love you and i love the Lord i love the gospel and i will see you soon!
love sister douglas
