It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas...

Hey all,

Glad to hear that things are going good! I'm happy [Grandma's] surgery went well, and that it was a relatively calm week. 

Transfers are January 4th, I'll attach a copy of the holiday schedule that we got, it should answer all of your questions about that. 

Our week has been pretty crazy. I'll start with the update on Daniel and fam. We stopped by Daniel's home this last week, and he wasn't there, but both of his parents were. They let us come in, and we talked about teaching their family. They're down for their kids to learn, and want to learn themselves. We gave them a French Book of Mormon, cause while all of the kids speak English really well, their parents don't. We should be seeing them all tomorrow, so we'll see how it goes. We've yet to meet Karen, Daniel's sister, who is the one we've tried to get into contact with so much, but apparently she's still in Halifax. Her baby boy is having a heart surgery, so we've been praying that things go well. 

We also had the ward Christmas party, and there were a bunch of LA's (less actives) and non-members there. The Smiths, a family we've been working with, brought this guy and his wife, who we're going to try to start teaching soon. The Garcia's and Clarito's, these Filipino families we've also been trying to work with brought another family too, and Sister Cormier brought a friend that we've taught once before, but couldn't set up a return appointment with. So it was pretty crazy! 

And church was good too, this guy named Ernest came to church, we talked to him and invited him, and he wants to come again next week. We're going to try to start teaching him too. While we were on exchanges, Elder Willoughby picked up his neighbor as an investigator as well, Ifeanyi. 

So I'm pretty tired, haha. It's been a busy week. I'm looking forward to talking with you all too. 

We're trying to do more service, but it's hard to find and set the time apart to do, haha. We are trying to do it though. 

At zone conference, the theme was #weworkgodblesses🛒, which was really good. Lots of good comments from everyone. We trained on how we can teach more effectively, and it went well. There were some roleplays after us, and then President Low trained us on the theme. After, we had a big lunch, and then the gift exchange and talent show. The talent show was AMAZING. President Low did this puppet show of one of the office senior couples, and how he got over his addiction to rock stars, we were laughing so hard it was hard to breathe. I played the piano, and a bunch of people sang. 

Sorry this one's more about a bunch of stuff going on, and not as much of a response, but today's been busy. 

Love you all,

Transfers!!!

Hello!  HAPPY BIRTHDAY Ellie!!!!! I hope you had a great one!  So yes, I got transfered!! I'm going to Fredericton with Elder Olsen. We're going to be zone leaders, and I'm super excited!! Elder Olsen is one of my favorite elders, so we're going to be having a great time! They closed down Dieppe, so there are only two French areas now, Edmundston and Bathurst. Elder Smith went to Bathurst. The French areas are in New Brunswick, but the majority of the areas are English (like mine).  I had a pretty good week. Deji got baptized!!!!! It was so, so cool. I was one of the elders who found him, and I had a chance to teach him on exchanges. Then Sunday was really good too.  I'm doing really good health wise! I've had no problems. We found someone pretty cool. Her name is Monica, we found her through Facebook. We're going to teach her again tonight.  I liked going to the zoo a lot. We have played Settlers of Catan a lot together, except it...

Still no snow on my end

Questions we asked: How's it going with Wendy, Jacob and Brendan?  Any new investigators? How's it going with Elder Pitcher? Are you still a ZL? How was your week? Do you have the chance to exercise and play the piano there? Are you brushing and flossing at least twice a day?  What are you thinking career wise? You said that observing your mission presidents had given you insight on that... Hey all, Glad to hear things are going well back home. Funny that you should bring up taxes, there is a YSA member here who just came up from Texas, and during our lesson he kept talking about how ridiculous the taxes are here compared to back in the states. He's originally from here, but he goes to school there and is back while they figure out his visa stuff. He joined the Church down there, going on to show that America is the promised land!  Things are going well on my end. Still no snow, although there's a lot of wind now, and it's getting colder. The ...

Hey all, Glad to hear there’s been a good first week of summer for everyone. Sorry if this email is a little shorter, we had a bunch of car stuff to do at the start of the morning, and then we had scheduled to go seaglassing with the Lows this afternoon, which was really fun. I found a couple cool pieces, some are kinda rare, so it’s pretty neat. Peggy’s Cove is really pretty, there’s lots of beautiful parts of the maritimes, and it has a big place in literature. Ann of Green Gables (which he obviously has never read, since he spelled it without an e!)  is the most well known, but another popular figure is Evangeline. She comes from a poem about the Acadian removal, I want to read it when I get home, cause it sounds really cool.  Highlight of my week was definitely the baptism. Nadia got baptized on Saturday, she was someone we found in Moncton through the members there. Elder Holman and I started teaching her, then I got transferred to Halifax, and then Elder Hol...
