Je Parle Francais!: Great week- June 9, 2014

Hello!! I'm be praying for little Ruby.

Answers: We listened last week to Conference in Rimouski, and yes using the French translation!

For Sister Woods the family just had a very simple get together on Monday night, but she didn't want any funeral or church services or anything, so that was it. It was very nice and simple.

Steeve didn't let us come over to help him this week, and then didn't give the lesson. But! Hopefully he'll let us this week!

Good! Elder Wilbur's great. Glad to hear you got to go hear his homecoming talk.

Great to hear from all of you! We had a great weeeeeeek in Rimouski. Rimouski is so great. President and Sister Fourtina were supposed to come to church but they told us they couldn't make it on Thursday, I think, so we had to arrange stuff and then take care of church yesterday. But it was great. Elder Drury, Brother Worner and I gave the sacrament talks, and then since Steeve didn't want to teach the priesthood lesson, I taught it hah. I'm grateful for all of these opportunities to teach.

It was great! Brother D'Amours came to church!!!!!! He's our less active friend who lives out in Sayabec, 1 hour away, who we visit once a week. He had promised 5 other Sundays he'd be there, but then made his big entrance yesterday. He's quite the character. It was a great step forward for him, especially since he hasn't been to church in 10 to 15 years. So now that he met everyone again and had a great time, we just want to help him come consistently, and come for his spiritual wellbeing, and not only socially. And another miracle, was that Sister Bujold drove down to Montreal with Sister Lévesque yesterday right after church, where she got her Patriarchal Blessing. YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! She was so excited hah, and it's really going to be great for her. Her sister Soeur Lafortune and then Sister Plourde will be following shortly in just a couple weeks. The Relief Society is the core of this branch. What an amazing example of service... Sister Lévesque found out on Friday that Sister Bujold was driving down to Montreal (5 and a half to 6 hour drive there) and agreed to go with her. What an amazing woman.

So that was great. Two big steps for two awesome members. We're having a branch activity on Saturday at the Duponts, so that'll be great.

We had an awesome Zone Conference in Québec this week, and it was stupendous. President Patrick had it focused on how the Doctrine of Christ should be the driving force of our work, in all aspects. It was so great. Wow. I don't really know how much to explain it, but it has changed the way I work. It's been helping us with finding, with teaching, with giving service, everything.

We're receiving the Chicoutimi team this week for 2 full days, so we're trying to figure out how to plan 4 days into 2 but it's great. It's going to be a great week.

I'm grateful for the chance I have to work every single day, and to be able to help others better understand who our Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ are. These principles are becoming more and more important for me every day, and it's a blessing to teach these things to my friends here!

Some pictures: Poutine!!!!! On the two year mark.
