Logan February 17, 2014

so i know you are all wondering, except for jess because i just told her. i am staying in chomedey for a 4th with elder duran. that is crazy! how neat is that. i am happy i love this branch and all of the people here. it is a swell place to reside.
i got my package and i wish to thank you ever so much. you are so kind and i loved the fun treats that are only found in america, land of the free, and home of the brave. i was in much need of some candy. so thank you. and the blouse fits great. it is like it was tailored for me.

this week was really something. probably the best week we have had in a really long time. it had its ups and downs. but overall it was  a five star. maybe 4 and a half. but i like even numbers. so  we will stick to 5. but 5 is an odd number but it is a whole number. so i guess what i am trying to say is i like whole numbers not just even numbers. there are pros and cons to even and odd numbers. but i will get into explaining why this week was a 5 star week. 
 but before i do i just want to say that i am glad our dad holds the priesthood. and that he is worthy to act at all times. so way to go dad. i think you are swell. 

so i went on a split this week with elder johnson. some call him baby face johnson. you can imagine why.  if you can t i will tell you why. it is because he looks younger than he really is. he is really natalies age but he looks like he is 17. i like him a lot. he is our zone leader who we affectionately call zone lord. it was fun though we had some good times and we also went to my very favorite restaurant of all time marathon souvlaki. and i ate beaucoup. 

right after our split was over we had zone conference. and lets just say it was amazing. we talked about justification and sanctification and the aaronic and melchezidek priesthood. it was super cool. i will gather my notes and write a little more about it next time.  but what  i loved about it was that we are justified when we are baptized and we are sanctified when we receive the holy ghost. and there is a lot more but it was super cool. read doctrine and covenants 20 and 89 and 84. super cool. 
 
at zone conference the fleet coordinator gave his testimony. it was his last time at zone conference before he goes home. he actually lives by the temple. right across the street from the ortons. how neat is that. he and his wife are the best. but in his testimony he said, "i love missionaries. i love when two elders go and hit each other on the chest. in any other situation i would think they were two homo-sexuals. but it is good clean pure love." he is a funny guy. haha kind of odd.  but he has a great testimony of the gospel. 

then the next day we went to sister donna's mothers funeral. it was really strange. her mother was catholic. and all of her family except for donna. but it was really good that we went. i love sister donna. she is so nice to us. we always make her laugh too.

so we spent a lot of time in montreal this week haha. kind of a strange week. but it was good. 

then we had branch conference this week. it was tellement bon. best sunday so far in chomedey no doubt. elder duran and myself sang a primary song in sacrament. a child's prayer. it was super neat. all of the members loved it haha. basically we do whatever the branch pres tells us to do  haha. he is so great though. our stake president gave a great lesson about if we love Jesus. then he would not have to ask us if we have done our home teaching ect. it was a very good lesson. we watched the talk that elder holland gave in the october 2012 conference. so this week i commit you all to ask yourselves: do you love Christ. do you show your love? do you have to be asked or do you accomplish all that is expected of you. that has been going through my head this past week. I love Jesus. I know He lives. I know He suffered for our sins. He is the Saviour of the world. He is my brother my Kind and my friend. I love you all and i pray for you everyday. without fail.
