Holy cow Wes! Man that was an awesome blog post mom, thanks for the update. Wes, love you. You're the best.
Did you see that Carol got baptized in Sherbrooke last week? That was good news to receive!
Hah mom, yes I got some boots. And yes they're warm, so no more worries there! Haha and no we weren't baking bread and bringing it to people, but rather cookies. Chocolate chip cookies! I have to say, they were a great success. And for the weather, we should be having a good number of lessons this week, so we shouldnt be stuck outside too long, eh? But we'll see.
So hey!! Christmas night was great. We got a dinner at Sylviane Bujolds on the 26th! Yipee!! It was great actually, she had some friends over, and it was a lot of fun.
We had a great week after Christmas day, with lessons and some good knocking. We're finding some potentials, but mostly for after the holidays. Street contacting is the best here in Rimouski (from what I found, just as a percentage, much more effective contacts per person) but its too bad that not too many people are daring to walk outside now hah.
Bref, Je vous aime. We got to meet with President Fourtina Saturday morning, which was great. We discussed specific needs, and overall the vision to help strengthen every members testimony. Its either for the church or the branch, but the goal is spiritual and financial independence, which I think is wonderful. We're learning more and more how we can help the branch, which is growing more and more every day it seems, but its good. President Fourtina can't be here every day (wish he could) so we're here do help him out as hes frequently absent. So what we're really focused on right now is with him going and bringing back those who havent been out in a while, and also strengthening those who are already with us. Its much more of a member role than Ive had, but I can see how worth it it is. We can really see true growth and strength as we help those already with us who are struggling. Its the best!
Im so excited for the new year! Im getting overly excited I think to set new goals, so one of my new goals is to not set so many goals (Kind of a joke). But Im so inspired by President Fourtina's council that he gave us yesterday on setting the most important, simple spiritual goals first, and everything will work out for the best. Woot!
Guess what, love you all. Have a great new years, and a great day today. Read your scriptures. Pray for someone else, and see to serve them. Find the joy available to all through serving the Master!
Love
Elder Murphy, Austin
