Shortie

Hey all,

My week was pretty busy and boring, for the most part, so I guess I can relate. Thursday was zone conference for Nova Scotia. Friday morning we flew to Newfoundland, and did exchanges there for 3 hours. I got to teach this French guy, and we had a pretty good lesson. He really loved having someone to speak French with, so I think it helped. Saturday was Newfoundland zone conference, and the elders there had a baptism late that night. Sunday we went to church in Saint John's, it was their fast and testimony meeting. Got back Sunday night, Monday was full of meetings until the evening, and then we had the YSA FHE, it was karaoke, which was lots of fun. Everyone had a great time. And now you're to today. Pretty lame.

I did hear about Notre Dame, the YSA keep me way more updated on everything than other areas. Pretty nice, most of them probably remember what it was like in their missions not getting updates, and they're paying if forward.

That's sad news about Bailey. I'll definitely keep them in my prayers.

Happy about Brad though! It's weird, it means time's ticking for me.

I'll share something of where my thoughts have been this last week. I really loved Elder McKay's talk from general conference, talking about the immediate goodness of God. I think one of the biggest immediate blessings is the changes that happen in us, by choosing to follow God—it changes us into a greater, more obedient, more faithful disciples of God. 

Sister Low says hi and that she loved your Christmas card. 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  ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ >...

Still no snow on my end

Questions we asked: How's it going with Wendy, Jacob and Brendan?  Any new investigators? How's it going with Elder Pitcher? Are you still a ZL? How was your week? Do you have the chance to exercise and play the piano there? Are you brushing and flossing at least twice a day?  What are you thinking career wise? You said that observing your mission presidents had given you insight on that... Hey all, Glad to hear things are going well back home. Funny that you should bring up taxes, there is a YSA member here who just came up from Texas, and during our lesson he kept talking about how ridiculous the taxes are here compared to back in the states. He's originally from here, but he goes to school there and is back while they figure out his visa stuff. He joined the Church down there, going on to show that America is the promised land!  Things are going well on my end. Still no snow, although there's a lot of wind now, and it's getting colder.
