you may ask yourself what kind of a week we had based on the subject of this email. well sit down and buckle up those seat belts. because this is going to be wild. I hope you are all prepared because this is going to be great.

thank you so much for the letter you guys sent. it was so good to hear your testimonies of the law of the tithe. thank you so much it meant so much. 

Derek is coming here??? i am so excited! i love that little lad. 

i will just give you a list of topics that i will cover over the course of this email. i am just so excited to tell all of you so sorry for the poor grammar. 

1. "women drivers: no survivors"

2. Sister Jeary is a Pro Bowler!

3. David got the Melchezedik Priesthood. 

4. Sister donna's husband went to woodstock.

5. the candy man can

6. kelly's prayers.

7. grand poutine. la t-rex.

8. I shook the hand of 3 General Authorities. 

ok so 1 and 6 are from kelly our investigator. He is hilarious, as you can tell from number 1. his prayers are very heartfelt and personally. for example: Dear Lord, please protect these missionaries, especially on the roads, there are a lot of fat greeks out there and when they open their doors they open them wide. i am sad i lost my court case, i have decided not to harm the man physically but i ask for your protection if the opportunity arrises. amen. 

hahaha it is like that all the time. 

2 and 4 were told to us on the same day. they are pretty self-explanatory. sister jeary is an old funny lady in our branch who is full of surprises and  sister donnas hubby went to woodstock. i thought that was neat. 

5 was super funny. we were on our way to our lesson with our brazilian friends and we went to the elevator. this place i swear is like an old peoples hang out because they are the only kind of people who live there. so the doors opened and out came a really old man and a really old woman and i greeted them in french. but then the lady sang, "the candy man can" hahaha it was so hard not to laugh. and then the old man handed her a piece of candy. i almost died after the doors closed and we were alone.

number 8. Elder Anderson of the 12, Bishop Caussé from the presiding bishopric, and Elder Hallstrom from the presidency of the 70 came to montreal. We had mission conference. I think it may have been the best weekend of my mission. The spirit was so strong and i learned so much. we talked a lot about the atonement. Bishop Caussé is from france so he spoke to us in french. that was so cool. he talked about the tree of life and wanting others to taste of the fruit. he asked a question that i want to ask you all. you dont have to answer it is just for you. When was the last time you tasted the fruit of the Atonement? and when was the last time you repented? i thought those were very good questions that we should ask ourselves often. 

mission conference was great. i got to see all my old friends, a lot of missionaries that are new that i dont know, and I got to shake the hand of 3 general authorities of the Church. 

then right after we went to la banquese. i got a grand poutine which is number 7. La t-rex.

It was huge. and i finished it all.

and this is what happens after you finish a grand poutine.  it hurts. but i did it. yeah!!

and then we had a special stake conference where number 3happened. david got the priesthood! how neat is that. and president hailstrom was there. he spoke to us about living reverent lives. having respect and love for God. in all places. it was such a great meeting. I loved this week. 

the only downer is a ripped my pants. to my suit. frowny face. i have one suit that remains.... haha

one thought that i would like to leave with all of you is the following. 

please turn to 2nd Chronicles. chapter 20

please read from 1 to 25. 

Then think about keeping our eyes on the Lord. how do we overcome evil? how do we keep the faith when there is an army coming to destroy us? how can we shut out all darkness? we keep our eyes on the Lord. 

but how do we do this? well i was thinking that enduring to the end and keeping our eyes on the Lord is the same. so lets look at the Gospel of Jesus Christ. enduring to the end is the last point. so to keep enduring to the end we continue it the gospel. it is a circle. round and round it goes. but when we look at it from the side it is a spiral, working its way up to where the Father lives. 

I love you all. I know Jesus is the Christ. He is our advocate with the Father. He is the only way to eternal salvation.
