Hello everyone! You're all in my prayers, especially the Bollard family.
So we had a great week here in Rimouski (we always have great weeks
here in Quebec). We had a lot fewer lessons this week than the week
previous, but that's okay.
We had a wonderful Zone Conference in Quebec city on Thursday, which
really was inspiring and helpful. President Patrick is amazing. The
things that I loved most was that we are meant to focus our time on
strengthening the branch here, which helped me figure out the question
of time efficiency. He also spoke on the process of sanctification,
and teaching as well. It was great!
So, due to the record breaking storm this weekend (So says brother
Levesque due to how much snow fell), we had an attendance of 6 at
church yesterday. It was wonderful. Elder Kimzey and I, Sister
Levesque, Julie (the Levesques daughter), Steeve, and Brother Hebert.
It was a surprisingly great Sunday though, even with just us 6. That
meant I had to teach Sunday school and a combined Priesthood and
Société de Secours, but it was good. I just dont want people to get
bored of hearing from me. I know though that its true, that by the
prayer of faith we can teach by the Spirit.
President Fourtina informed us as well that he won't be able to come
up for the 2 following weeks either. So, honestly, it's a little tough
without him, but his company is really struggling right now, and he
and Sister Fourtina are working double shifts, and have found it
impossible to come up. So we're praying for them.
We got the news on Saturday, that Elder Kimzey is leaving for
Victoriaville! He's done a great job here in Rimouski, and is sad to
leave, but is also ready for a new adventure. I've just been trying to
schedule things with our friends so he can say bye, and they can send
him off well, since he's a little too shy to ask, but really needs
those words from the members here.
We're a little worried since it seems now that Jean-Guy and Christiane
either have taken a miraculous vacation and have lost their hearing
whenever we knock on the door or call, or they are having a hard time
remembering our number or address of the church. They'll come around
though!
I'm grateful for the Atonement of Jesus Christ, for His life and His
love for us. What a great brother and friend to us all. It's been a
wonderful experience to be able to see how He can help me and others
overcome weaknesses and burdens.
I'm sorry I don't have much to say... I'll try to write more next week.
I love you! Thanks for all that you do. Thanks for your prayers and
emails as well!
Elder Murphy
P.S. So, I'm emailing President Patrick that I'll stay until mid-June,
and if he needs me for more, we'll freeze and skate that bridge when
we come to it.
