wow, can you believe this. 2 years has come and gone. I have grown up a lot. and it is all thanks so you all at home. i could have never done this without you.

How can one describe two years of service. People ask me how was your mission? well i haven't really come up with an answer that can express what is in my head but i will try my best. 

the mission was so much different than i thought it was going to be. when i first got off the plane and met my trainer I had no idea what i was doing. I have come to realize that i am really good at hiding emotions. I dont know if you know this but i was so scared. I was terrified of leaving home. the longest i had ever gone without seeing my mom was a week. I had never lived away from home. it was so hard to leave everything i know to go to a place where they speak funny, the milk comes in bags, and they are not all members of the church! But week by week i started to get the hang of it. and then i completely fell in love with quebec. I love being a missionary. i love teaching the things i have come to know are true. Now i am at the end of it all. I feel like frodo returning to the Shire. I have a transition to make and i will need some help, but i am excited to do it. I fear no man, With Jesus Christ I can do all things. I truly believe that. there is no reason to be scared anymore. I have increased my faith and my testimony, and now i am needed elsewhere, so that is where i shall go. 

I could go on and on about things i have learned and people that have helped me change, but i think we will save that for a later date. I love you all so much. I can't believe that i get to see you on thursday. mom you don't have to go 4 hours early like we did for justin. 

finally i need to say one last thing. 

mom and dad. thank you. do you realize what you have done. do you know how many families wish and pray every day that they can have a family like ours. you have 5 children, all of which are extremely active in the church, you have 2 temple marriages and a third coming soon (nat get to work) a 4th in like 5 years, (em that one is you) haha ok ok i will be somewhere in the middle of that. you have 4 missionaries, and a 5th preparing, you have served with everything you have in every calling given you. YOU ARE AMAZING. seriously. there are so many broken families i have met on my mission. It hurts me so much to see their pain. I will be forever grateful for my best friends, my teachers, my cheerleaders, my doctors, my counselors, and most importantly my mother and father. I hope to be as good of a father as you dad. and mom i hope that my future wife is as patient as you are. You have lived the perfect example of the Atonement of Jesus Christ, and have given me hope for my future. 

Godspeed,

that was my starwars shout out for the day.

 

dear me what a week. cant believe it is already over! so sunday coming i am planning on doing what we call a session of google hangout. unfortunately it is still unsure/clear of the time at which i will be commencing said session. In order to proceed to the next step in the process I will need some valuable information, such as times at which church begins and ends, how many people with be joining us, ect. So until further changes the call with be gatineau time 2:30. i hope this will not be a problem for anyone. if it is please send an email to accept or deny these plans before 5:00pm. I will be checking my email for this very reason on this very evening in hopes to have a confirmation. if it wont work give me an appropriate time block to call so that we can look for possible candidates in the ward. thank you

 

so this week was sweet we got a new investigator! his name is jean petit, he and his family are refugees from africa, (i have basically served my mission in africa or haiti) He said that he had heard of Joseph Smith before and that the picture of Christ in the Book of Mormon is the most accurate. haha he is a funny man. 

 

we were able to do some service for an old couple. we just cleaned up there yard a bit. nothing to big. they are funny, the man cant hear very well and speaks quite loud. haha it was a hoot. he asked me when i am going home. after my answer he said, ''est-ce qu'il y a quelqu'un qui chante: je t'attendrai a jamais!" haha translation  is there some one that is singing i will wait for you for ever? haha i said, "j'epere que ma maman est la!"

he got a good chuckle out of this one!

 

We have a recent convert we work with who asked us if we could call her every night to read the book of mormon with her. It has been really cool thus far. We have only done it for 4 days but already we have seen a change. She loves the book of mormon and wants to understand it more. Her name is Rosie. She is from Haiti. she is teaching me some creole. it is super fun. one day i will speak it! 

 

to answer mothers questions i fly home the 28th of may and my flight comes in i think at 7.30. 

thanks so much i love you all so so much and cant wait to see you all. i have a pecial prize for mommmyyyyyy so be ready to weep. Godspeed,

que la force soit avec vous
