Buchan, Part 9 - January 14

I am once again hanging out in Aberdeen...like a piece of jerky drying on a rack. Just waiting for something to happen. We'll be going to a castle hopefully this afternoon. So that should be cool. If we don't I shall be severely disappointed. Other than that, nothing too special about today. We will be having our Aberdeen/Dundee conference tomorrow. Yay. 

Yes, we had one appointment hold. They are two young boys, 17 and 14 years old. We met them at the church and taught them about the restoration. I am not sure if we will ever see them again, but so far they have not been answering calls/texts. Oh well. 

We went door to door with a survey for a change this week! Just 5 easy questions (with as many followups as we dang well please). The idea is to get into people's houses to do the survey, find out their key to conversion via the survey questions, and then transition into a lesson. Hasn't worked yet, but it will I think. It works like magic for other teams. We've had some people take the survey, and only one person let us in to do it. But no appointments or lessons from it yet. We've been chapping in neighborhoods that are on the ''well-off'' to ''stinky-rich'' scale. So that may have something to do with it. It also may have to do with the fact that me and Elder Long are both quite mild mannered, and the approach requires a certain amount of assertiveness. 

We are emailing one at a time on the clerk computer. So annoying. 

Elder Long does the best kermit voice I've ever heard. 

Surely living in Edmonton itself isn't so bad---or at least, that's what I think. It's definitely the living away from family that's the hardest part. Sure, I miss Canada a lot, but it's the living away from you guys that's so draining. But it's good that She and Dallin may be able to move back home soon. I also understand the poor girl is pretty sleep deprived. 

Knock'em dead Amanda! Elder Long is an actor too. He was one of the lead roles in his school production of Oklahoma. 

I am usually happy. I am considerably healthy. I weigh in right now at 265lbs, and Elder Long weighs in at about 145lbs. I have 120lbs on him. I keep ruining my clothes and just this week I also broke my bed. I wasn't even jumping on it. Fooey. 

Anyways, I love y'all
