After a very spiritually uplifting week, Elder Noel and I put our
shoulder to the wheel and started applying what we learned at zone
training, and during general conference. We have been working twice as
hard as before and we are starting to contact door to door a lot more.
I'm not too fond of doing door to door because its not very effective
but with the extra time we do have, we go out and search for those who
are prepared to hear the gospel.
I went to the Island of Montreal the last P-day with our senior
couple "The Petersons" ... I bought a side bag at Aldo's and got some
sweet grey & blue pants at H&M. Since thee missionary wardrobe
changed, I thought I would get some stuff before the winter. (and we
cant wear backpacks anymore)...
The Island of Montreal is the equivalent to New York City. Huge
Buildings, Crazy people running around, jam packed, payed parking, whole
bunch of stores, 5347854 languages, and whatever else you can think of.
The Island of Montreal has it. I can't wait to serve there and take the
buses and underground metros.
And actually that day in Montreal, my companion & I just
walked out of an H&M and a African man came up to us and said:
"Elders!! Elders!! blah blah blah blah blah..." (he was speaking so fast
we couldn't understand his french or English....almost everyone in
Montreal is bilingual) but we ended up giving him our number and
apparently he was an investigator of some other missionaries in the
area. Its just cool to think that people "know the Elders" ... love
that. HEY! ITS THE ELDERS!
I would lie to you if I told you my testimony was not
strengthened every single day that I am out here. Every single day I
see the hand of the Lord working in his divine work. I see miracles. I
truly see miracles out here, and it is amazing.
I am so happy to be in the service of a loving
heavenly father and I am so happy I help people understand that he has a
plan for them.
Well, looks like I'll be
spending my birthday in Victoriaville! Halloween as well! OH AND TODAY
IS Canada Thanksgiving! (its not great though...)
