Bonjour a tous! I hope you are all doing well. This last week here has been kinda crazy. We had transfers and a lot of service which went pretty well. I also got more news about this transfer and I will probably be in Sherbrooke longer than expected because the other apartment is not ready yet. My trainee in two weeks will be staying in another trio for a couple days when he gets here and then when its ready we will both be going over to Nova Scotia. As for right now, I am still here in Sherbrooke and waiting for Presidents call. Lets jump right into what we did this week.
Last Thursday was transfer day so we got up early in the morning and headed down to Montreal to the Office. We got there at about 9:30am and it took us about an hour and a half to find everything Elder Taruoura needed for Drummondville and then we went over to the mission home to pick up both of our trainees. We had to play Tetris to get the luggage of three missionaries and 4 people into a Nissan rouge. It eventually worked and we went to find the Drummondville car. After we found the car we unloaded all of their stuff and then we were supposed to pick up two other missionaries to take them back to the mission home. We thought they were in the church we were at so we found an open door and walked it but the alarm started going off so we got out and called the assistants for the code to the alarm but the door locked behind us and we couldn't get back in. Elder Sorenson and Elder Berg from the MTC finally came with the keys and disarmed the building and then the other elders showed up so we packed them in as well and were off to the mission home again to find the third part to our trio. We found Elder Bourlet and got his bags and everything and then headed back to Sherbrooke. For the rest of the day we helped a less active member move into a old folks home. It was pretty fun.
Friday we started off with helping another person move and then got some studies in. After that we got some tracking in but not a whole ton happened after.
Saturday, Sunday and Monday we visited a whole ton of members and did quite a bit of knocking. We found a couple of really nice Arabic people. One of them is named Eva. She was super nice and really open to the gospel. We gave her a Book of Mormon and a Bible and she said she would read them both! God has really put new people into our paths this last week and it's been really cool to see it all happen. We also have seen some less actives that came back to church this week which was awesome. We also had another service where we helped a member family here make their parking space bigger at their house. We had to tear up some of the grass that Elder Arnold and I help set down a while ago so that was really fun.
Other than that I don't remember a whole ton of what we did this week. Sorry for the short email. I'll make sure that I write more next week! I love you all and I hope you have a great week!
Love y'all
