Not 114 degrees

Hey everyone!

Glad to hear you had a fun week down south. 114°F is crazy! That is about 5 degrees away from being twice as hot as the high for today here in Canada! I don't know how I'm going to be able to handle the heat when I get back, I'll be so adjusted to Canada that I'll be melting above 70. (Although, there's been a couple days where I wished for just five minutes in that kinda heat!) The weather here is nice now though. 

Congrats to Harley! Norway is going to be sick! The mission is super awesome, I'm really excited for you! 

Also, I hope you saw the photos. Did the Google photos sharing work?

This week was pretty good! We had zone conference this last week, and said goodbye to the Pratts. It was sad, but it was a very uplifting meeting. The Pratts explained what'd going to happen over the next week as President Low comes in. There were some good trainings too!

The other Elders are Elder Sawa-Sawa and Elder Day. They're also the Zone leaders, which is pretty fun. So with that, and because they also have people who speak French, we work with them a lot. And then my comp is Elder Smith. The same from Edmundston, so it's lots of fun. 

There were some changes to Preach My Gospel too! It's really cool, there's a lot of good new quotes from President Nelson, as well as it talks a lot about the Doctrine of Christ, and how we can teach it better! Really good stuff, I highly recommend that you study it!

We spent a lot of time finding this week, and we taught Megan, one of our investigators. She came to church this week too! She's getting ready to be baptized for July 28th, so I'll have a good best day of the year dad!

I love you all! Have a really good week! Sorry this is short!!!!

Got my travel plans!

Bonjour tout le monde!        This has been a crazy week! We've been super busy with lessons, we have had two or three lessons a day, and lots of really good devotionals.  On Sunday , we had Chad Lewis come and talk, and that was really cool. He talked about his mission, his career, his chance to do this hike up Kilimanjaro with a bunch of wounded soldiers from Iraq, kinda all over the place. It was more like a slide show than the kind of devotionals before. It was still good, but I definitely preferred Elder Oaks. We watched A Consecrated Missionary, by Tad Callister, for our film after, it was really good. I really love the  Sunday  films, gunna miss that in the field.         I also finally meet some other people going to Halifax! There are 4 sisters, and one other Elder, I'll be flying out with them on the 26th. I'm pretty sure I get to call you guys before I leave the airport on my flight, but I think they talk about t...

First few days!

First few days are down, and it's going good! When I got here I went straight to a lesson in French, and six hours of lessons later I'm supposed to teach a lesson in complete French to an investigator, write a talk in French, and memorize the missionary purpose statement.  Our zone has about 60 missionaries, most speaking French, going to Lyon, France, but some to Paris as well. There are a lot of Haitian Creole speaking missionaries, and some Malagasy speaking missionaries as well. Two are going to New Caledonia (discussed below). I'm the only one going to Canada, let alone going to Halifax.         My companion is Elder Hable (like table but with an H) and he's really good. He's going to New Caledonia, which is by Australia. He took French for 6 years, and he's by far the best of our district so far. He likes baseball, favorite team is the Red Sox, so that's a plus, (Raelene) and is really kind to everyone. He got made the District leader last night, s...

Transfers!

Hey all, Happy Father's day! Hope you had a good one dad + grandpa's. I didn't know if you would've wanted to waste part of your trip to DC calling me, so I didn't try calling. Besides, I want you all to actually be glad I'm home when I get back.  So you're right, my p-day does get messed up because of transfers, but the majority of it was on Monday (not Tuesday) and the rest today (Wednesday). It's ok though because I do have enough time to write some. (This whole week has been so busy I don't even know if I could include everything that's gone down.) We'll start with zone conference. Elder Hamilton didn't have enough time in his schedule to go to Newfoundland, and so we combined the Newfoundland and Nova Scotia zone conference. It was really good, Elder and Sister Hamilton gave some fantastic training, as well as President and Sister Low. I don't know if I've told you about this, but in our zone conferences we normal...
