Ryan's moved to Calgary!

hey! Greetings from Calgary! My area isn't like downtown, it's pretty residential but still pretty busy, can't really compare it to anything back home, but I like it, not much going on in this area teaching wise so it's been fun to do a lot of finding, we do a lot of street contacting here, which is a bit diffrent for me, kinda a waste of time in the small towns I've served in, but here there are a lot of people to talk to on the streets, we still have a car, and a way awesome apartment with a gym and sauna and everything, high rise building...we live on the first floor...kind of a bum deal but it's all good.
wow, where do I start? having 2 comps is fun, my area is so old!! I thought sacrament meeting would surely turn into a funeral service, that will take some getting used to.
we met this awesome guy named Ralph a few days ago, he has a lot of questions and ideas about life, he's kind of a hippy, he really opened up to us last night and it was awesome, the plan of salvation is so amazing, what a comfort! how bad would it suck to not know that plan was true!!he's cool, we feel really good about him going somewhere.
I sent a package home a few days ago, inside is...all the mail I've recieved since being out, please ignore that personal stuff, I just didn't have room for it, please just put it in storage! some candy and some winter stuff I never used, I'm trying to find time to write some letters so hopefully I'll do that soon.
there is this really awesome family that fed us a few nights ago, the Zaugg's, some of the happiest people I've ever met and she's from Chile and she fed us...Real Mexican food!!!! which is non-existent anywhere else in Canada except for from the people themselves, so that was fun.
so many awesome spiritual experiences happened, and funny ones too, I always got such bad writers block while I'm e-mailing.
Love much and do the best you can.

I'm starting to thaw out I guess here in Logan. But not really. It's still dang cold! I guess I'm just trying to be optimistic. Good news though, next week is Spring Break and I fly to Houston on Saturday with my roommate to stay with Kim and my roommates brother in Galveston. It should be fun. I can't wait to be somewhere where the temperature is above 40! I'll try to bring back pics!

Love,
Heather
