I had a great birthday. Elder sloot and i decided that we needed to
have killer birthdays because the are 7 days from each other so we
planned a sick bird day. let me give you the low down of the day. i will
describe it the way it is written in my planner. sit down buckle up and
enjoy.
6:30
wake up. say hey its your birthday! you can do what you want to (as
long as it is in accordance with the rules of the white handbook)
8:00
start personal study. remind yourself to stay focused and keep the eye
on the prize. but also keep in mind that its your birthday so you can do
what you want to! (as long as it is in the white bible)
9:00
companionship study. celebrate together what amazing lads we are. and
then drink some hot kool aid. make it cherry. and make sure you talk in a
british accent.
10:00 language study. think of all possible phrases that one could say that relates to birthdays. then translate into french.
10:30 Bounce and get to the apple store to do emails. (you already know what i said so i need not repeat myself.)
12:00 get on the metro and make your way to the Botanical Gardens of Montreal.
I will describe this part in more detail for you. so
We went to the olympic park which is right next to the metro stop. took
some pictures. it was cool. i think natalie would have loved that
place. and we walked to the gardens. we payed and walked in. and it was
like we entered into a different world. we saw plants from all over the
world. it was really cool. then we went to the insectarie. we saw bugs
from all over the world. it was so interesting.
5:00
POUTINE TIME. so we went to my favorite poutinerie. la banquese and we
ordered poutine. then we asked the waitress if we could put sparklers
and candles in our poutine and if she could take a picture of us. it was
quite fun. and the poutine was divine. so high in cholesterol but hey
ji am young and spry.
and before we knew it pday was over and we went
back to our area and preached the word. it was super fun. we are
planning on going to the temple tomorrow. the date of closure got extended. so we get to go one last time before she closes up for a year and a half.
then sister donna fed us on thursday.
she is such a great lady and so kind. she even made me a birthday cake
and gave me a gift. i opened it and what should it be but the album
night visions by imagine dragons. oh no. haha temptation. it was so kind
of her and i didn't have the heart to explain the rules of the mission
so i just took it and put it in my suitcase. and there it shall remain
until the end. it was so nice of her though. she knows me a little too
well haha. she knows i can't resist candy or cake and she knows my love
for ID. unfortunately i have gotten fat from all the sweets. haha but
it has been so fun going to her house
while we were giving a spiritual
though about the armour of God somehow gambling came up. i can't
remember how but strange things happen when teaching certain people. and
this person said one line that i thought was really funny, "always bet
on Jesus.... but we should never gamble." haha so remember family always
bet on Jesus. and never gamble.
My dear sister Natalie sent me a package. it was a
great gift. shout out for the new sister training leader!!! dont mess
up!! haha i am only joking you will do great! pretty soon you will be
home and that will be weird.
we had a great lesson with Derek. He
wants to quit smoking so bad. it is tough for him but we gave him a
blessing and i he felt the spirit. he has had some really hard
addictions but i know he will be able to make it through. Stay away from
drugs my friends. they have ruined his life, but now he is repairing
himself and becoming a new person. it is amazing to see him change.
I hope you have a great week family. i love you all
and miss you tons. i know why i am here and i know Families are together
forever!
