CANADA Week 23-January 2, 2018-Des Temps

Quebec Independence.

Things are getting real here in Canada... with wind chill it has been like -30ish and it is awesome haha. I started wearing pretty much all of my coats and everything possible at the same time, and I am literally like 50 pounds heavier when I'm ready to head out. But I am warm!  

Sherbrooke was pretty quiet for New Year's, but we got to eat with Frere Kikongi which was fun. We know him pretty well, because he comes out with us all the time, but we got to meet his wife more. They also made a ridiculous amount of food, and they insisted that we ate it all, so we were like rolling out the door. We weren't allowed to do to much on New Year's, so we just visited with our friends and members. 

Sweet lady, interesting food.

This week has been kinda strange also, because we lost our phone. And it is now probably lost in the snow haha. So we have been using the other Elders, the members, and the phone in the church to keep in touch with all of the people we needed to.  But we should be getting our new phone tomorrow which is sweet. And as long as we can get the same number everything will be good. 

Our sweet phone.

I also had an exchange this week with our District leader Elder Eakins. He is awesome, and he will actually be finishing his mission in about 2 months which is crazy. I was able to learn quite a lot from him, and it was really fun. But it was like the coldest day of all time haha. It is the humidity and the wind here that are the killers. 

Oh and this week there was a Sherbrooke ward plague that started with the Bishop and went to everybody. This Sunday there were like 20 people there, either because it was too cold and too much snow, or they were sick. But our friends Bernadette, Mamie, and Finda came! It was really fun to have them with us, and they really loved it too. Me and Elder Brough were sick too this week, but now we are feeling better. Elder Rossi got lucky haha. 

Mamie and her brother got my camera and it was filled...

I hope all of you had a great New Years, and you are ready for 2018! This is a great time to figure out what you really want to accomplish and become in this upcoming year, and I invite all of you to align your plans with those of Gods. To do that you just have to talk to Him a little. I love you all, and have a great week!

P.S. Oh and hello padre! I cant believe you went back up to Bogus! The last time I remember going up with you, you fell asleep on a pile of snow by the lodge haha.
