It's been a long time since I've done one of these emails, sorry! I love getting emails from you and responding in detail so that takes up a good chunk of my time. Here's a quick recap of the last 3 weeks!
Had a really good zone training. One of my new favorite Preach My Gospel quotes is on page 19 (or look it up on Gospel Library, ch 1 maybe?). Read it! Then read the rest of Preach My Gospel!
I played piano in sacrament meeting. The regular pianist wasn't there I was the only other person in our ward who could play somewhat. I find that hard to believe. But it was my first time doing that. I only played the upper notes because I was too nervous haha. Next step, playing the organ at General Conference!
We have a new bishop. He's really cool, and really focused on MISSIONARY WORK! Some good changes should be coming soon! He said he wants to talk to our mission president to ask for us to stay in the ward for at least 6 months...we'll see!
Hiked the Mont again. Everything's green around here. It's also really hot and humid
We've received 4 different maple products from members, 2 cans of maple syrup, 1 container of maple butter (more like taffy), and 1 jar of this caramel maple stuff. All basically just pure sugar. I hope I don't lose any teeth while here...either from syrup or a errant hockey puck
Had a minor car accident, a problem with a wheel bearing, and an oil change, which have lead to 2 trips to Montreal with at least 3 more in the future. I'm grateful we have a car though because one, it's hot, and two, our area is really big.
Did a split in Granby again. Splits are fun because you get to work with other missionaries and learn from them, and it's like going on a trip!
I cut my hair. I tried to use scissors on the top and trim the sides like I normally do but I really messed up the top so I just buzzed it. It looks ok
Celebrated St-Jean-Baptiste Day, or la fête nationale (but it's only celebrated in Québec) which wasn't as crazy as I expected. Sang some traditional Québecois songs with some old members of our ward. They all had to do with snow and cold. This week is Canada Day which isn't really celebrated in Québec haha. Happy Fourth of July to those in the States!
Teaching wise, we don't have very many investigators who are progressing unfortunately. A lot of less active work still. Seen some good progress with those people which is nice to see! I can't really sum up missionary work as in teaching very well so if you're curious ask me specific questions :)
Things are great here! I love you all and love hearing from you!
