Glad to hear that everyone is back home and happy. I'm
sure your anchor was great Bethany. Dad, sorry about your pinky hah. And
I don't think I mentioned it earlier, but great job on your missionary
fun!
So, we had a great week! A couple of downs, but we're looking up. It was a very sad day on Wednesday,
when we went and stopped by Jean-Guy and Christiane's house, and they
told us not to come back anymore. I don't know what happened, but
Jean-Guy just had a change of heart. My one hope is that if we can help
Philippe Bourgoin, Steeve's uncle, come back to church, then he can help
Jean-Guy because they used to be really good friends. So we'll see.
We met together with the men in the branch a couple
of times to help them prepare for the priesthood, and progression is
slow, but it's coming. And then during Priesthood quorum yesterday we
had a discussion on our duties as elders, and how we should act in order
to fulfill them, and so on. It was great to see Frère Lévesque get
involved in helping them. Everyone needs to feel like they're useful.
We walked a lot again this week, and ran some hah as
we tried to get home on time. It's helped us contact more people, even
though there are not very many people on the streets. But the Rimouskois
are very friendly people.
So, this week, in order to work to achieve our
goals, we are working a lot with the priesthood, we helped Chantale (a
recent convert of a year and a few months) learn how to study the
scriptures with references and everything, and got to understand Soeur
Bujold better. She opened up to us this week and shared some questions
and concerns she has, with certain principles of the Gospel. I think it
was really important to express that, and we will go back and strengthen
her testimony of the Book of Mormon, and of the prophetic calling of
Joseph Smith. I love how Preach My Gospel explains how simply that
everything falls upon those two points, and the Book of Mormon is the
proof of the other. What a blessing it is to have the Book of Mormon!
I will take more pictures mom, thanks for the reminder.
The
Fourtinas couldn't make it this week, and we were 11 at church. Also,
Elder Smith made a make-shift bread yesterday since we ran out, and it
tasted a lot like pupusas, so that's what I'm going to make today. Hah
it'll just be Quebec style (sorry Dallin, Dad).
Oh, I love you all. Thanks for your support, for
your prayers for us and for the branch. They are amazing people, and
it's an honor to be able to serve and teach them, as well as meet people
every day to tell them about the joy I've received through Jesus
Christ!
Have a great week! Hope to send some great miracles home next week in my email.
Love
Elder Murphy, celui à Rimouski.
