Bonjour à tous! How is everyone doing? I hope y'all are doing well and are having fun. This week has been pretty good but not much has been going on special. If you want a good read from a missionary, go read my cousin George's email for this week! I'm so grateful to be serving a mission at the same time as three of my cousins. They are awesome and are doing great things and will have amazing times on their missions. Anyway, here are a few cool things that happened this week.
We had p-day on Wednesday so that kinda cut this last week short but last Thursday we had an amazing lesson with Chris. We also have been working a ton with members because we know how important they are and how much they can help us with the work so we brought brother MaKenzie with us and it was great! We kinda did a review of everything we had taught him up to that point and then talked about church and baptism. We had it all worked out and planned that he would come to church and we would show him around just before the meetings and all that on Sunday, but fast forward to that morning and we woke up to about half a foot of snow with it still coming down and received about 10 texts telling us that church was cancelled again so we hurried and called Chris to let him know. We were both really sad because we really wanted him to come to church and he was really excited to come but oh well. He said he is looking forward to next Sunday so he can come to church. He is such an awesome man and loves the gospel with his whole heart. The brother that came with us told us it felt like he was already a member because of what he already believes and does. Its been great working with him.
Because of all the snow we have gotten lately we have been doing quite a bit of shoveling as well and doing service around the community and it has been great to be able to meet people through that. People here are so nice and treat us so well. We have also been doing a lot of the normal things of missionary life and been trying our best to find as many of our brother and sisters and trying to help them discover the blessings of the restored gospel of Jesus Christ. One day as we were walking around we were looking around and found a little Italian market in town and so we went in because Elder Constant speaks Italian so we thought we could find someone there that spoke Italian as well. One of the guys there did but then we found out they are all from Sherbrooke! My last area! We spoke french with them and they are such a cool little family and were super nice. We got some fresh spaghetti from them for dinner and it was super good.
Not much else has been going on. Sorry for the short email but I promise next week will be longer. We should have some fun things planned this next week. I hope you all have such a great week and keep working hard and have fun! I love y'all so much and never forget, The book is blue and the Church is true!!.
Love Elder Beckstrand
