Bonjour à tous! I hope you are all doing well and had a great week. This week has gone by really fast. We finally got some snow up here and it has stayed. Here is a quick update on my week.
This was his Christmas present! It's one of those things that covers your windshield so you don't have to scrape it! Look how great it worked!!!
We had district council in Halifax last Wednesday and then we came back home to Bridgewater and helped a recent convert move out of her office and into her house which took up most of the day.
Throughout most of the week we were just going around trying to visit referrals that we had gotten. We got two from the St. George Visitors Center that ended up being the same person but that's fine. We tried visiting him a couple times and then he ended up not even being interested but we did what we could. We had a lesson with one of another referral named Chris. He is super nice and knows a ton about the gospel and is super smart. He read the brochure on the Restoration and and some of the Book of Mormon. We talked a lot and he had a lot of questions that we helped answer and he really likes some of the doctrine we teach but still questions some of the other ones. It's been good.
We also had a lesson with our friend James. He is also progressing pretty well. He has been reading in the Book of Mormon and we have been finding a lot of things in common. He has been trying to get back in touch with his first nations values and traditions and he has been finding our religion very close to what he believes so that has been awesome. We are really working hard with him because he is so nice and wants to learn so much. We have a really good relation with him right now too so that helps. We talked a little about the plan of salvation with him the last time we were over there and he agrees with a lot of it. After our lesson we had with him we were supposed to meet up with a couple of other people that day but they had to run to the hospital and were not able to meet with us we are going to try again this week. The work here has been going pretty well here and has been progressing which really nice because this area was kinda considered a slow or dead area before but there is still good people here that have a lot of potential.
Sunday we woke up to a giant snow storm so I was super excited and we got ready for church and went early to shovel the sidewalks and get things ready for church and as the time got closer and closer to 10 am, there was no one there. Apparently, church got cancelled and no one thought to call the missionaries. It was all good. We had some other things we did instead. We also grabbed our shovels and went around helping different ward members. I absolutely love service. Every single person we went to go help we were able to visit with them and even talk to a few people not of our religion. It was super cool. Service is the Key to people's hearts. Everyone should get out there and do some random acts of service this week and see how you feel after you do that because not only will the person you helped feel good and loved, you will feel better too and closer to God. I can promise you that. I love service! Other than that, not much else has happened. I hope you are doing well and are able to get out and do some service and have fun this week.
I love yall!
