| My brotha Christian and I. He really has been loving Church, and he is friends with a lot of the members. |
Hullo fam! Thanks for all of the pics and emails this week, it is so awesome to hear from you. Oh and sorry if I don't get back to everyone... It's crazy how much can change in a single week haha. I am always excited to learn what happened with da Wilsons.
If you know a little bit of French, you guys probably realized that I am leaving Gatineau. I actually was pretty sure I would stay, but I guess it is time to move on. Thursday morning I am going to head to Sherbrooke!! I haven't heard too much about it, but all of the members in our ward who have been there say that it is beautiful. It is further east than Montreal, so it will be like a 5 or 6 hour trip I think... At least it is still mostly French speaking! My new comp is going to be Elder Rossi and he is from Ecuador. (Asher keep working on your Spanish cause I'll be fluent by the time I get back). It was really sad to say goodbye to members and friends here. Some of them didn't really understand why, so it was sad. But we do have a bunch of meals with the members this week, because they want to send me off on a good note! Elder D was pretty happy with the meals at least.

This week I met one of the most incredible ladies of all time (Her name is Melissa). She has a really tough life because of a lot of different reasons, but she still took some time to listen to us. We had to teach her outside in the cold because she didn't have anyone else with her at that time (as missionaries we can't enter a house if a man isn't there as well), so we decided to make it really quick. We simply taught her that she has a loving Heavenly Father, and that we can pray and talk with Him. At the end we invited her to pray, and she was nervous but she decided that she wanted to. She started to pray and instantly felt comforted. She had to gather herself for a while before she could even speak. After we left her porch that night I started to think a little about how often I take prayer for granted. How often times it is more of a habit than an honest discussion and plead. When Elder Clayton came to Montreal he said, "Present each topic like a pearl" when he was talking about the missionary lessons. That night I realized that all of the things that really seem so common to many of us really are a vast wealth to others.

| The Dream Team. We helped the Zone Leaders pack up and leave this week because they got a new apartment in Hull. It was sad to see them go, but we got one last picture in. I also happen to be the only native English speaker in our apartment haha. We have French, Dutch, Spanish, and English. |
I hope you guys are all having a fun Christmas season, and remember to #LIGHTTHEWORLD (I don't even want to say how long it just took me to find the # on this dumb Canadian keyboard...)
Elder Wilson
