( I asked him why he in one of the pictures he
sent home he had a spanish nametag on his shirt under his suit coat, and
a french name tag on his suit coat...this was his reply).

Hah
actually, Dallin sent me one of his name tags, and I've been wearing it
on my white shirt, since it doesn't show because we wear suits here in
Rimouski. It's just a nice little reminder I get to wear every day.
Hey Dad, great to hear about your class with the Deacons. I
wonder what would get a group of deacons pumped about reading the
scriptures....
More about Elder Drury: Elder
Drury is always happy and jokes a lot. He loves being positive which is
great. He is from Riverton, Utah, and went to Southern Utah University
for 1 year before coming out, I believe. He came in the mission when I
was in Laval, so he has about 9 months left. (hopefully they'll all be
here in Rimouski hah). He's excited to work here, and he worked in a
small branch for 8 months already (in english), and so he understands
the swing of things, in a way. He says he wants to work on his French,
because I think the fact that I'm leaving, and he doesn't understand
some of the people we work with is starting to worry him hah. But it's a
good worry.
We had a good week. We were really busy up until Thursday, but then not so busy after that. I got a little cold this weekend, but it should be on its way out soon.
Stake
conference is this week, which is going to be great. Part of it will be
broadcasted from Salt Lake, and its going to be for all of Canada (I
guess the church still considers Quebec as a part of Canada). Steeve has
taken a lot of steps back in the last couple months, but he's moving
forward again. He'll be teaching every 2 and 3rd week of the month in
priesthood, and we're trying to be there more often to help him learn
how to study. It was a great time studying with him this week. I love
helping people feel the power of the Book of Mormon!
We also had lessons with other members,
such as Frère D'Amours, and Soeur Bujold. They're both doing really
well, which is great. Frère D'Amours SHOULD be coming to church some
time soon, he just needs to coordinate with a neighbor, since he lives
one hour away and doesn't have money to pay for gas. (long story, I'll
tell you later).
So some sad news this week, is that our
friend Sister Woods was entered into the 'end of life' home (I don't
know how to say that in English) on Friday,
and is really declining. She found out in October of last year that she
had cancer, but her treatments were all going well, up until last
Friday morning. We got to visit her there, and she's very positive, but
its very sad to see her go. Sister Levesque and Sister Bujold have been
taking turns staying by her side so she won't be all alone, since her
family seems to be a little bit too busy to see her, which is really
disappointing. But yesterday the thought came to mind, that remember, a
couple weeks ago, Sister Bujold drove one extra hour go pick her up and
bring her to church, because she asked to have a ride. And I believe
that was her last time ever coming to church. I'm really grateful that
Sister Bujold did that for her, and she is too.
All is well! At church yesterday, we were 11 present. The Fourtinas and the Warners both couldn't come this week.
But hey, they'll be here next week!
But hey, they'll be here next week!
Love you all, and I hope you have a wonderful week!
