Josephine Falls near Elkford, B.C.

dear dad,

 elkford, fernie and sparwood are amazing!!!!!  they are at the base of the rockies!!! there is deer and elk everywhere!!! i almost want to move back!! they remind me alot of rim country and up that ways. my companion is elder harris. he has been out for 10 months now. he is from orem, utah. we don't need a bike. everybody in the mission has cars.  there are about 150-200 people that come regularly. but that is a little less than half of the members that are in the area. a lot of them work at the mines. so they either can't come. or they just don’t want to. we have tried to visit a lot of them(or it felt like it) but no one hardly answers the door here!!! and if they do they tell us they aren’t interested. but the people are really nice here. i'm kinda jealous that you are hiking the grand canyon with out me!!  guess we will have to do it when i get back. we taught 18 lessons this week. and got 2 new investigators!!! we are pretty excited about that. i have been obedient to all the rules. make sure that the boy is nice to emily!!
