BETHANY!!- June 2, 2014

BETHANYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What I love about Bethany: I love that Bethany is so loveable. I love how Bethany forgives me for not writing last week about her birthday, because Elder Murphy is so silly. I love Bethany because she is a righteous example of love and kindness, and a disciple of Jesus Christ. I love her because she cannot tell a joke without laughing hard enough to not be able to finish. I love her because she will not look at any boys, because of fear that her brother will bring his Canadian special forces back with him to give them a piece of his mind. I love Bethany because she is so nice. Happy birthday Bethany.

Dad!! Man, busy already hah. That sure sounds awesome. It was great to have Stake Conference, seeing it now with the perspective of: 'Wouldn't that be sweet to have Dad directing the meeting?'

To answer a couple questions, Stake Conference was wonderful! We were 9 for the Saturday session and then 13 for Sunday. 

Who spoke: On Sunday, for all of Canada, Sister Burton, Elder Holland and President Eyring spoke. It was so great! What I LOVED is that they all spoke about Faith in Jesus Christ. They spoke about how Faith in the Savior Jesus Christ will strengthen our families, it will heal our pains and wounds, it will lead us to serve others and to heal up their wounds, and it was help secure eternal blessings. It was an great lesson for me, seeing the excitement of our leaders to talk with us Canadians, and then to speak so plainly and clearly about Jesus Christ. He truly is the center of our lives, and His church. Thank goodness!

Priesthood holders: I was sad that the moment arrived, and we couldn't help any brothers be advanced in the priesthood, but it'll happen next week. 

Good idea about Steeve! We're going over a couple times this week to help him study and prepare to teach his lesson. 

We had a good week, glad to say that I'm not sick any more. It made it hard to visit people for a while, since no one wanted to see us in order to not get sick hah. But now everything's good. 

Sister Bujold should be getting a call for her Patriarchal blessing in the next couple days! So that'll be great. 

Our friend Sister Woods passed away on Thursday morning. We helped her boyfriend Walter move into Rimouski (they was living 25 minutes out of town), and it was good to be there for him. Her services will be tonight at 7. It's been confirmed to me a number of times this week that this life truly is just a temporary stay on our journey. It's amazing how once our physical body is done, it's done. It stops. But yet our spirit is still strong, and alive, just moving on. I'm so grateful for the knowledge of the Plan of Salvation. Through Christ, all shall be made alive. 

I love you all! I hope you have just as an amazing week this week as I'm going to have!

Love

Elder Murphy

P.S. I hope Dane's as excited to see Elder Murphy as he was to see daddy and mommy.

P.S.S. We got poutine for my 2 year mark this week, but I'll have to send you a picture later. Bye!
