Bonjour à tous! I hope yall are doing great. This last week has been crazy with transfers and everything. I am now back in the great province of Quebec serving on the island of Montrèal! It's been quite the change but let's get right into this week.
Last Wednesday back in Bridgewater, we helped a recent convert move and visited some members to say goodbye, then we had dinner with the Whyknot family before heading into Halifax Saturday night for transfers.
I am going to miss Bridgewater. It is such a great area filled with such a great ward. There will continue to have great miracles there in the future! We stayed the night with the zone leaders there and spend some time weighing and checking our luggages so that they were not overweight for the flight and then we went to bed and got up the next morning at 2:45. Finished packing up our bags and then went to the airport by 4:00 a.m. to get on the flight by 6 and then we flew into Montreal got here around 8:00 in the morning. Then got back to our apartment here on the island of Montreal around 10 and ate some breakfast and then got to work. It was such a long day haha. The work here is so much fun. There are so many people and so much to do. We cover more than half of the island and are in the same ward as 3 other teams of missionaries. I am also the new district leader here which is fun. That is a position I havent had yet so that's been a fun learning curve but it's just kinda like being a trainer for multiple people at once and I know how to train haha. We take the metro and buses everywhere we go because we dont have a car but that just gives us so many opportunities to find people to teach.
Friday and Saturday we had a few meetings and visited some members her to get to know them and had some time to go finding and teaching a bit. We are currently teaching this guy name patrick. He is awesome. He has been coming to church for quite some time now and knows so much about the church already. He just have a few problems we are working with so that he can be ready for baptism one day.
Sunday was really good. We got up and went to ward council before church and then had sacrement meeting which was really good. The ward here is really big and full of strong members. It is a very diverse mix of people. We have people from all over the world here. States, Native Quebecois, Africa, Haiti, Syria, Lebanon and Greece just to name a few. It's so cool to see that no matter where you are in the world or where you go. The gosple is the same and the spirit can be with you and church is always going to be the same. There are no other churches that can do that. You can go from one Baptist church to another within the same town and its a different feeling and different teachings where as Gods true church is the same everywhere. I love that. After church we walked with one of the our other friends we are teaching back to his house. He is thirteen years old and loves the church but his mother wont let him get baptized yet. He is such a good kid and is so happy to be at church and waits for it all week long. He is such a good example to his friends and family. We then visited a few other members and shared a message with them to help everyone prepare for the upcoming general conference. It's coming up so quick so make sure that you are doing what you need to be prepared for that. It will be so amazing.
That's about it for this week! I hope yall have a great week and have fun!
Love, Elder Beckstrand
