All the conferences

Hey all,

Surprise everyone, another crazy week!

We were originally supposed to have p-day tomorrow, but because of a storm it messed a lot of stuff up.

Wednesday we had district council here in Moncton, which went pretty well. Later that night we picked up this super sick Invedtigator, Nadia. She's a friend of Sister Hennessey, and she's been coming to church for like 8 weeks in a row. We talked to Sister Hennessey about inviting her, and she did it! We had a lesson and she pounded us with questions! It's was so, so good. She's super cool and the Henssessys are the best fellowshippers.

Thursday we went to PEI, and went to Elder Hatch's District council, which went well. We were able to give him some good tips on what he should do to improve. But it was cool to go out there. When we got back we had an exchange with Elders Musgrave and Clifford, the Houlton elders.

Then this Saturday President Low texted us and told us this Monday was going to be a huge storm, and that we were going to move zone conference to Sunday. So that made us really rush to get things figured out.

Sunday also happened to be stake conference in Fredericton. I got to see Brendan and Wendy, which was super nice. So it was cool to see tons of members there. Elder Bennett, our area seventy, was speaking, and it was really good. Right after the conference we had zone conference. There were a lot of really good trainings. Elder Holman and I had a lot of fun in ours.

Yesterday did turn out to be a crazy storm. We came out of the church to see TONS OF SNOW. We shoveled all day. Lots of fun.

I don't need anything to my knowledge for BYU. Anything they send you you should listen to. I'm not doing anything and I'm not looking at it, I don't get any messages, so you'll just have to take care of it for me.

Still can't hang out with anyone on p-days, Elder Holman and I normally just go over to Brother Williams and play board games with him.

I don't really need anything. Just letters, if anything. I enjoy it.

Also, thanks dad for the notes again. I love reading them and using them. And I'm super excited to hear where Boo's going. Someone already asked if we can skype into sibling's mission calls, it's a no. So I'll just hear when it happens.

Love you all so much! You're the best.

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...
