We love the Canada Edmonton Missionaries! 

Below is a note from Sandy to our family:

                                    

Hello Everybody! Today is "Family Day" in Alberta Province. Schools are closed so families can spend time together. Great idea don't you think? Although we can't be together, I'm thinking about how each of you makes your own special contribution to the Kerr Clan.

From my point of view,

Nolan is pretty much a walking encyclopedia

Brandon is a thinker and an examiner

Cassie is a learner and an adventurer

Brady is a people-person extraordinaire

Robyn is methodical and a master teacher

Gavin is gifted with aeronautical skills

Kristen is a seeker and a great deal finder

Jayde is generous and gives unique gifts

Chandler is saavy, sweet, and sentimental

Rylee is sometimes reserved, yet the life of the party

Kendall is a planner, a dancer, and a popular friend

Presley is perky and witty and loaded with style

Sage is organized and a master at kids' riding toys

Brayden is skillful at games and the first guy on the ice

Sophia is "Miss Communicator" and a beach lover

Oh how I cherish you all... Happy Family Day!

Though English is spoken in Edmonton and Alberta Province, most of the items we buy are labeled in both English and French. The cinnamon above is an example.

In the forefront of this photo of the Mission Office is a metal post with electrical outlets. Quite a few cars here have electric block heaters to keep motor oil from thickening when it gets really cold. The cars have plugs sticking out of the grill. Extension cords connect the block heaters to outlets on these posts. 

Sandy is being trained to be the mission secretary by Sister Salter, and I am being trained by Elder Salter to be the vehicle coordinator. The Salters are Canadians who live locally and have served for two years as Church Service Missionaries.
