Working in unity- October 21, 2013

Yayyy!!! Way to go mom! Thats awesome. I think that sounds like some great ideas. I'm happy to hear that you watched it for family home evening!! Way to go family. And I only received the confirmation from Mom, so I guess Ill trust that everyone else did it too? Im sure everyone just forgot to include it in their emails. Thats okay. No, really, its fine. Im okay. Ill be fine.

Just kidding! Just do it! Get those blessings from being fully invested! Mom way to go on visiting those sisters. What an awesome missionary!

Holy cow!! Haha Dallins pictures were so awesome. I cant believe those pictures.

We had a great week here in Sherbrooke. We had Sister missionaries who arrived in our district for the Sherbrooke ward, Sister Robles (from Mexico), and Sister Laeno (with an nya thingy, from Utah). They're great! Its great to see two missionaries come in and get straight to work, working hard and already finding people. They're both really worried about French but it'll come.

Guess what! Jeremie and Gabrielle are doing really well, they both came to church yesterday. Jimmy was a little sad for us to teach him the Word ofo Wisdom, since hes still trying to find the desire to give up some vices hah, but We believe he'll come around. Carol came to church, but is scared that she'll be kicked out of her apartment this week, which is scary. And we saw Chantal again!! It was great, actually. We passed by again, and she seemed to really have a change of heart. She actually seems like she has been avoiding those drugs for a while, because she seemed much more calm and controlled. She said she wants to be baptized again, and its because she kept reading the Book of Mormon. So she's making really big steps after a couple ones back. So we're very happy about her.

We also met a wonderful woman from Cameron this week, adn started teaching her and her boyfriend Dennis. She said she was almost baptized in Cameroon because the missionaries taught and baptized her whole family, but then she moved here to Quebec. We answered a number of her concerns and questions, and she seems excited to keep meeting with us and come to church (maybe after this week, because we have stake conference coming up). She's a mother of 5 kids, and really wants to follow Christ. Good thing we chased her down the stairs of that apartment building to contact her!

We're been working a lot with the Bishopric to learn how to best serve them and the ward. And its so inspiring. We've come up with a plan with Bishop Desjourdy, and its super exciting. I think this might be the most fulfilled Ive felt here, because we're working hard by ourselves and with the priesthood keys. Its an exciting time here in Sherbrooke! Its especially exciting to see the trust and excitement of the members grow, especially from the Bishop. Ill get a picture with him soon and send it to you, he's awesome! And its exciting to now have a plan inline with the Bishopric and our district. Im learning so much about how to encourage and motivate, its just.......................... I don't know. It's the best.

Well, love you all!!!!! Cant really explain the feelings I have right now. I just love you all, and pray for the best for you. But I just love this work, this area so much. I hope some day you can all come see what Sherbrooke is all about!!

Loves!
