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,

Yes, it was Zone Conference

Salut tout le monde! Sorry that I didn't send that schedule again. I'm surprised they don't post that on the facebook page for all the parents. It's hard for me to remember that when you're not living your life 6 weeks at a time you don't normally keep track of when "week 2" is, so I'm sorry. I'll try to make sure to say in the email the week before anything like that happens.  I'm glad that you had a good week. Women's conference sounds like it was pretty nice. I know what you mean when you talked about having very crazy weeks! Also, I'm super jealous of being able to go see Avengers, even if the ending was bad. I keep seeing posters for it everywhere, and I'm pretty curious as how they made the whole connection to Guardians. But I guess I'll find out in 450ish days. (That gives me chills, agh!) I'm looking forward to  Sunday  too! You guys have church at 10 right? There is a  ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ >...

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...

Hello from France!

Hey everybody!  Sorry for the confusion last week. I didn't get to read your email before I sent mine, but I was able to read it really quick before p day ended, because we were at the church. To explain, the method we had was different in Edmundston than in Bathurst. At Edmundston, we had internet all the time, and a laptop. In Bathurst, no such luck. The only time I have internet is at the church. So to give you the cut off time, we leave the church  Monday  at 2 (our time) so as long as you write before then, I can see it. Otherwise, I'll only have what's already on my phone to read. Also, thanks so much to the Barnes! I loved your little Easter package and notes. You guys are the best! This last week has been crazy!!! Since last p day a ton has gone down.  Thursday  night, we started the stop smoking program with Tommy. Tommy's a beast, hes been making so much progress, it's insane. We had our exchange with Miramichi elders this last week, El...
