Our week was great! Elder Hardy had his big senior week (with the 12 week program) and he did really well. But I can't think of anything besides General Conference now......... But hey! Good story! Elder Hardy and I were knocking recently, and met a nice woman on the top floor of a building who said she wasnt interested. So we asked if we could do some service for her! And she got super super mad. And she told us to leave right away. We started walking down to knock on another door, and she yelled at us, and threatened to slap us. So, we said we still wanted to knock, and so she graced us with a slap in the face, each of us. And then kicked me in the back as she pushed us down the stairs of the building. Hah! It was quite the event. So there you go Alyse, that is the most interesting reaction Ive had knocking here in Quebec. And then just a couple of days ago, another woman called the police on us because we were knocking doors at 8:20 or so, and the police came and had a talk with us. Hah they were't interested though.
Jimmy had a big change of heart! Hes been reading in the Book of Mormon, and hes now seeing the changes that it has made (even up until now). He committed to be baptized in early December, and then came to General Conference and really liked it. That was big news! He learns a little slower than most, but he's a real sincere guy. So we're super happy about Jimmy! Carol also came, and is doing really well. Shes reducing her cigarettes, and says shes running out of them tomorrow, (hopefully it doesnt just mean she'll go get more when she's done hah). And Jeremie and Gabrielle watched General Conference at home, and really enjoyed it. They are so AWESOME! We've been really trying to help them have better studies between lessons, and it worked well this week, as they taught us back what they've learned about the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and they both loved what they read this week in the scriptures. We're getting somewhere!
I just LOVED how you can see how focused the General Authorities are on missionary work. What good leaders! I want to make sure that everyone understand the commitment from Elder Ballard, that we can all pray every single day for missionary opportunities. Can you imagine the changes that will occur if we all do that? Starts with you my fam. Next week Ill do a followup. Especially you Dallin, I hope you'll be praying for it.
It's amazing the fact that God listens to our prayers. What a thought, that there's a loving Father in Heaven that hears every one of our prayers and answers them in the way which will help us the most. What a blessing it is to know that we're not alone here on earth, and that there is someone watching over us, and that will lift us at all times. We know its true my friends! Now lets help others see it as well.
Je vous aime tous!!!! À la prochaine!
Elder Austin Murphy (celui à Sherbrooke, Québec).
