we
had some great lessons and a lot of cancellations but you know that is
just part of life. but we had the craziest stake conference i have ever
been to. lots of changes in the stake. a new ward was even created right
before our very eyes. it was really quite something. the Lord is
hastening His work right here is our part of the neighborhood. stake
conference was avaliable in 3 languages. how neat is that. so the
gatineau elders, thats us (the only french elders at stake conference)
sang with our french members in french haha. a little prideful of me but
it was fun. I enjoy speaking french. this is something i will miss a
lot.
i hope you enjoy these pictures i am
sending home. i got sick of my desk so i taped all these pictures i
found to the walls. how neat is that. we put up all the latter day
prophets too. thank goodness i have that primary song memorized or
putting them up would have been a challenge! latter day prophets are
number one!
this is the river by our home. it is large. and frozen at the mombent. yes that right still frozen.
and the last one is sister gagnon. she is the sweetest old lady in the world.
so
this last week i read a lot about the apostle peter. He was an amazing
man. I love his story so much and we can learn a lot from his life and
the change he went through from being a fisherman to one of the greatest
leaders in the church. After Christ was resurrected He came to Peter
and asked if he loved Him. We all know the story. Feed my sheep is the
response 3 times. After Peter received the Holy Ghost he was a changed
man. He was sanctified. We knew he had the Priesthood and he had the
faith that with it he could do all the Lord required of him. A lot of
people didnt like him. there were some that wanted him dead. No one has
ever said they want to kill me but there have been some who made it know
that they did not like mormon missionaries. Peter taught me a great
lesson this week. In Acts 5 peter says
41 ¶And they departed from the presence of the council,rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer shame for his name.
What
a strange thing to say in the eyes of the world. I have been trying to
think like this this week. to be worthy to suffer for the Name of
Christ. His name is on my chest everyday and because of it a lot of
people stare at me and look at me in a strange way. But i love it now.
Now i understand a little how Peter felt. I love being a missionary of
Christ. I know he loves me and He helps me everyday!
i love you all very much. I am working hard and i hope you are too!

Godspeed
