-do you have a brother that served here?
-why yes i do have a brother that served here
-i love justin he talked to me about the priesthood, or he gave me a book of mormon, or he helped me with this problem i had.
sometimes
the fruit of our labors are not physically seen for a long time.
sometimes years. but i can testify that if we do our best and do what we
are asked then miracles will happen. that is for sure. So great job
Justin, the members here love you
so dad those tomatoes look great. mom i will pray for
wendy for sure. she has always been a great friend. i like her. maybe
you can send me her address and i will send a letter or something.
em i still cant believe that you are working. what do you
do? are you a bagger? that is so weird to me. i refuse to believe it.
do you drive to work? do you have a car? are you going to get a scooter?
that would be cool. hey mom you should get em a scooter, then i can use
it when i get home.
man this week has been a good one. last monday we
visited old quebec. i am sure you saw the pictures. it was super super
fun. man it is like getting into the dolorian and starting up the flux
capacitor and taking that sucker back in time. we got some pain chocolat
and visited a really old cathedral.
this week we visited a former investigator named
roger. he saw the missionaries a long time ago. we were getting to know
him and he told us he has 19 brothers and sisters. can you imagine? that
is quite a common tale here is quebec. back in the day the catholic
church controlled everything. they told the members that they would go
to hell if they did not keep having children. so there a a lot of
families with tons of kids. Roger was super nice though. he doesn't
really talk to his family much. all of his siblings live in a small town
together and he got sick of the drama so he left. I really think that
he will progress. we are going to ask him about baptism this week when
we see him.
we also saw Frere Leger. he is a less active member
in our branch that is struggling with depression. i feel really bad for
him. we have been trying to cheer him up. we were able to take him
teaching with us to visit an investigator named clarence. On our way
home from the visit he said, "I dont know why but i love this man, i am
just filled with love for clarence, i want him to understand the
gospel." I have seen that often on my mission. I have seen that members
receive this gift from the spirit, the gift of charity. this is so
helpful in the conversion process. My companion noticed that there was a
chess board at frere legers house so he asked him if he wanted to play.
so they played chess and i played some piano for them. at the end he
was so happy and he wanted to help us with missionary work. he gave us a
refferal and asked when he could come teaching with us. I felt a little
like ammon in the Book of Mormon. we served him and he was changed and
in turn he wanted others to feel the love that comes from our Father in
Heaven.
My companion goes home at the end of this transfer,
just like natalie but he goes home about 2 weeks before she does. so
there is a good chance that i could train derek. how cool would that
be?? i would love that. we will see what happens.
it is good to be alive my friends. we have a great responsibility
to invite others to come unto Christ. i know we can fulfill our responsibilities and keep our promises if we are all working together and
for the same reasons. I love you all very very much. I am grateful to
have your support while i am here. Godspeed
