Happy Birthday mom!

Hey everyone,

Happy Birthday Mom! It has been pretty crazy that so far every single birthday has been on my p-day. What a miracle is that. Hope you enjoy some Olympics for me. I saw just a sneak peak of the opening ceremonies at a members house, it looked like some kinda tiger thing. Kinda jealous of Peter, because right now he's helping out at the Olympics, which would be super cool. 

Ward party sounds like it was a blast. I guess I don't get the "tradition" behind the "fiddler on the roof" thing, but it sounds pretty funny. The following Sacrament meeting sounds like it was really cool too, Elder Owens is pretty cool. 

Man, I miss basketball. Is it possible to get any updates on games and scores? Sometimes I feel like a lone Utah man surrounded by the lone and dreary updates of BYU fans. Haha, I actually enjoy their updates, but I'm missing the true light. But it sounds like Boo's having fun. What happened to Ben being Samantha's boyfriend? And how was Jumanjii? I've heard from some people it was awesome, and others have told me it wasn't very good. 

It's kinda hard to say what part of my testimony has been strengthened the most as a missionary, because it kinda bleeds over. Truth brings more truth, you receive light for light, so it's always growing. I'd say that the MOST important thing I've learned is about the Doctrine of Christ. I feel that before my mission, I would have a hard time telling you simply what the Doctrine of Christ was, but by learning and understanding and living the Doctrine of Christ, you really start recognizing it everywhere in your life. By living the principles of Faith, Repentance, being baptized (and keeping covenants), receiving the Gift of the Holy Ghost, and enduring to the end, you really are living the Plan of Salvation. 

There have been a couple struggles of my mission. Learning French. Learning how to be more creative with food. I miss movies. I miss you guys. But It's not been anything too crazy, or anything that I haven't been able to strengthen. Thinking of Ether 12: 27 or so, we can strengthen our weaknesses. We can grow and change. It's been a huge blessing already in my life. Wouldn't miss it for the world.

Well, I have to fess up, I didn't take a photo. I will next week. I'll have my smart phone, so it should get pretty easy. But I love you guys!

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...

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  ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ >...

Halifax Burger Week

Hey all, Wow, super stoked for Boo’s call! You should forward the email to me and let me find out where he's going today before Boo sees it. I promise I won’t tell. :) I didn’t see those photos or anything because the mission is doing a social media fast, so we’ve been off Facebook and Instagram, and won’t get back on till Friday, so I won’t see anything on there for a while. I really hope you get a good mission president too, literally having had President Pratt and President Low have been SO incredible. Both have taught me so much, and are so obedient. It makes such a big difference. I hope you get a good obedient mission Boo. It literally makes such a big difference on your mission experience. I remember when I opened my call I was a little excited to go to the CHM, but I was also a little bit disappointed, cause I wanted to go to some place in Africa or something where you baptize 120 people a week, but since I came here I’ve seen how much better off I have it than all of ...
