So as you saw the pictures, we got to go to the temple this weekend.
It was absolutely fabulous. We drove down on vendredi with the Ouellet
family, missed half of our christmas party in montreal (we joined
another zone since we missed ours in Quebec city), and then scrambled
to get a place to stay. I got to stay with Elder Lanning, Smith,
Malone, and Echeverria!!!!! Elder lanning should be familiar to you -
we spend last Christmas together! Oh La Salle.
Then Saturday was the temple, we got to do baptisms! It was great. It
was a wonderful wonderful experience.
We then drove back with the Levesques, who are awesome. And we ate
lunch with them and the Fourtinas (Look at the pictures!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THEY ARE SO AWESOMEEEEEEE!) We gave them a little christmas card we
made (I have never been so creative in my life).
On Sunday, we had 10 people total at church!! It was great. Elder
Kimzey and I gave talks, which went well. Elder Kimzey is great - we
visited a returning member named Sylviane Bujold last night, and she
was telling us all about how his talk inspired her and everything.
What a wonderful thing!
For the rest of the week, we did some service ( a LA family is moving
away, to Sept Iles (Even farther NORTH)), and visited some less active
friends who live quite a bit away. It was great though, they both
havent seen anyone from the church in years. It took a lot of time,
but I believe it was very much worth it.
We went and ate with the Dupont family on Thursday. Brother Dupont was
the branch president here in Rimouski for 25 of the last 31 years (I
know right). Maybe besides the Fourtina family, I dont know if Ive
ever fell so fast in love with people. Holy cow. I feel like Dallin -
the Lord truly just fills us with love as we do as he wishes.
Pretty fourtina huh? (We're trying to get that word started, you can
help out if you want. It would be super fourtina of you).
This is just the best thing ever. Ive never felt so close to my
Heavenly Father, and I thank him for giving me so many blessings. I
thank him for you all, for my friends Ive made here, for the person
he's turning me into, and for everything else imaginable. Je suis
bénis, c'est sur!
Je vous aime tous. Je suis infiniment reconnaissant de pouvoir vous
avoir comme ma famille, et mes amis. Que vous puissiez avoir le
meilleur Noel ce mercredi! (Bien, je vous parlerai ce jour la).
Vivez le Quebec!
