Well I'm in Canada.  The flight was good.  Sister Crapse and I got to talk to our immigration officer about the church who had lots of different questions about the church.  The whole time I was waiting for him to say that he was already a member, but he didn't.  I think that's when I realized that we are no longer talking to fake investigators.  These are real people wanting to know about the church.  I didn't treat him like that, but it was an eye opener.

We were picked up by our Mission President and went to his house for dinner which was divine!  We had some meetings then slept at his house that night.  The next day we had more meetings and met our trainers.  My trainer's name is Sister Arthur from NC.  She is very nice.  She is actually a runner and I told her I wanted to do the Wasatch Back one day or at least run longer and better, so she said she would train me.

A big thing this mission focusses on is OYM-open your mouth..This is to EVERYONE!  so we saw this girl and Sis. A. told me to talk to her...so I run up to her and say  hi, um, I'm Sis Kamalu....and uh....want a card?   hahahahaha oh man it was funny.  But already, just talking to more people in these last hours I have improved.

Yesterday we just jumped right in to things, going to meet with an investigator, teaching a lesson, going to meet another one.  I knew this would happen so I tried to prepare.  but I don't know.  There's just this cool feeling that happens.  It's fun.
