December 16, 2013

I'll continue praying for Uncle Wes and Aunt Kristin!

    Hah no mom, I don't play the piano in the branch, there's a sister who plays the right hand for the hymns.

    Woot! This week was great. It finished with the Branch Christmas party on Saturday, and a wonderful day yesterday. Le jour du sabbat! On Saturday, we started playing Jeopardy with everyone at 3:30ish, and people came in slowly. It was funny, first, because all of the history questions were all on United States history (I think they know more about our history than anything else). And guess what, we had 10 guests who came, nonmembers or less actives. What a treat!! Total there were 29 people, counting us and President and Sister Fourtina. One girl left with a Book of Mormon, 2 want to come back on a coming Sunday, and the wife and cousin of our friend Yvette LaFortune came( who is coming back to church), and our non practicing friend Dominique Tremblay. What a treat. The souper was great, and games after were very fun. It was awesome to see everyone getting involved, and having fun. Exclamation point!
    Réponses aux Questions - Sunday was wonderful. The Fourtinas were here, and again, blew me out of the water with how awesome they are. President Fourtina gave a talk (as the High Councelor hah), taught 2nd hour because Chantale didnt show up, and taught in Priesthood (and there were no complaints). I feel like its unfair, because I'm supposed to be here serving them, but I just keep getting blessed by them and keep learning so much!
     But we had a good number of lessons this week, and yes, we were warm enough. And when we weren't warm enough, we went and warmed up hah. It got pretty cold this week. But hey!! Its supposed to warm up. And we got a big present of snow this morning, so that was fun!

     The Gospel is true. The best part about the teachings of Christ is that the closer we apply ourselves to them, the closer we go to our Heavenly Father, and His Son.
     Joyeux Noel à vous tous!!

    Sherbrooke update: Jeremie and Gabrielle are awesome, Jimmy has had some Word of Wisdom problems, so they're postponing for a while. But Carol should be getting baptized this week!
