Alberta is for [cat] lovers

People love their pets in Alberta...especially cats. The record I've seen so far is 16 cats in one house. Right now we're taking care of two crazy cats while the people we live with are gone. They fight and make noises all night, and they rattle our door to let them in. Then they roll all over our freshly vacuumed maroon carpet. I hate cats. I hate every kind of cat.

On to missionary things... Rejection gets you down sometimes, but I've learned that no matter how badly things are going, you're not alone. I know God cares about all the details in our lives, and he wants to hear from us every day.

So don't give up! Have a great week!

Mission Week #9

As I think about New Year resolutions, I am drawn to this quotation:

“I am so thoroughly convinced that if we don’t set goals in our life and learn how to master the techniques of living to reach our goals, we can reach a ripe old age
and look back on our life only to see that we reached but a small part of our full potential. When one learns to master the principles of setting a goal, he will then be able to make a great difference in the results he attains in this life.”
– Elder M. Russel Ballard

Couldn't have said it better myself. So I guess my goal this year is to learn how to achieve goals. There are lots of goals I have, but a phrase that could sum them all up is one that I got from my missionary companion: "LOVE MORE, eat less."

Sounds good to me!
