Highland Games Festival

Hey all! 

Happy Fathers Day dad!!! Hope you had a good Sunday, sorry you have to wait till Christmas to hear me again. Although, that might be the best gift you could ask for. Far, far away, not asking for money, not eating your food, not driving your car, etc...

Sorry to hear you suffered this week mom! You need to take care of yourself!!! Despite you having a rough time, we had a really good, busy week. Also, I didn't even know that there was an Ocean's 8. Shows you how much you miss on a mission, haha! 

Probably the highlight of the week was the Highland Games Festival. On Saturday we had a booth pretty much all day for family history. A senior couple serving in Saint Stephan came up and helped us out with it, the De Vaneys. There were a lot of people who were there, it was pretty cool! There was one lady in particular who was pretty cool. She came up to me, and said, "Aww, just the people I was looking for!" (Did a double take over that one, I've never heard someone come to me and say that before!) This lady came all the way from Halifax for the Games. She was looking for information about her Great Grandmother, she had no information about her. I was able to log her into Familysearch, and there was 3 records ready to go, including the birth record, which is what she was looking for! She said that it was such a miracle for her, she wants to learn more, and we gave the Halifax Elders information, and said she would talk to them more. It really was super cool to actually see something like that happen! There were a couple others who were interested, but no big miracles like that!

Of course, I knew if I went to that and didn't take photos, I'd be crucified in the airport when I got back, so I got a bunch. I also got some videos of all the piping bands playing together, which was pretty cool. It doesn't have anything on the tattoo, but it's about the best you'll see in Canada! 

We did a lot of finding this week, which was pretty fun. Some good ole' knocking. We've been doing a lot of digital finding too, which is really fun, and pretty successful! We also taught Eli and Philippe, they're both from Africa (There are a lot of people from Africa here for work or school) and I taught Marceline with Elder Sawa-Sawa. It was pretty good! Don't have much more time, so I'll try to send pictures. 

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...

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 ...
