| Pres Phillips and Elder Tarati. I am definitely not the tallest missionary in Sherbrooke anymore... |
Salut! Sorry I totally forgot to say that my Pday this week is Monday instead of Tuesday but that shouldn't surprise you too much . . .
I don't have a ton of time, but this week was awesome! First up we made the 2 hour ish trek to Montreal to drop off Elder Rossi and pick up my new companion. When we got there we had to say goodbye pretty quick because I had to go down to the trainers meeting. It was sad to say goodbye to Elder Rossi, but we were proud of the things that we have done together, and we learned a ton, so it wasn't too bad to say goodbye to him for now. He lives in Utah so I'll be seeing him around anyways haha. And then all of the trainers had a suspenseful couple of hours, because President got caught up at the airport, and we couldn't start without him. But anyways he finally came in, and it was awesome to see how excited the new missionaries were to be assigned to their areas. (Oh and I forgot to say that the 2 zone leaders who were in Gatineau (Vanderwaard and Roundy) are both training as well, so it was fun to talk with them again) But anyways President started listing off companionships and I was actually the first one! I am with Elder Tarati, a 20 year old Tahitian that is pumped to be here. He speaks French, and he learned English in the MTC, so we have been speaking a mix of English and French here. He is pumped to be here, and he has already taught me a lot. Tahiti sounds like a fun place too, so Ma and Pop you guys need to start planning a trip there so we can go visit haha. Oh and speaking of that happy birthday Old Man!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hopefully you got my letter, but I hope you had an awesome day and didn't get harassed too much haha. You're a rock and I love ya tons. And ma I'll be writing on your birthday next week, so I'll just say happy birthday now, and I love you too!

Also, Mami`s baptism was awesome! She was actually feeling pretty sick, but she said she wanted to do it, and she started to feel better soon after. It was so awesome to see her in her white baptismal clothes, and she was so happy. I can't even explain to you guys all of the crazy things that happened to get her to this point in her life, but I can say one thing for certain. If God didn't want this to happen it never would have. We have experienced miracles with Mami, and I am glad to say that I will never forget them. It was a super cool experience for Elder Tarati as well, because he got to bless her with the gift of the Holy Ghost. He isn't having any trouble adjusting, and he wants to make sure that every moment of his time here in Sherbrooke is in the service of God.
