Salut friends and fam! It's kinda crazy that I am already writing you guys again, so I guess that means that things are good here in Canada! At least we saw the sun this week and it only snowed once haha . . .
This week was full of random and miraculous things and people. Literally I found myself in the strangest of situations haha. For example:
1. Carrying massive boxes of chicken blobs (they were like 60 pounds) for this awesome Syrian guy.
2. Walking into a random apartment to a guy that was UNDER HIS BED that had dreamed about us the night before.
3. Doing our best to build like a 400 dollar telescope for some dude that didn't even have money to buy food.
4. Admiring the 25 yard long chalk pictures of Christ that this one guy does for his work. We just happened to knock on his door and they were super awesome.
Welcome to another week in Canada, I just wanted to let you guys know how funky it is haha... But I love it. We had a lot of fun this week as people started to come out of their winter hibernation and we weren't the only people outside. We played a lot of soccer with people in the street, and they would always ask why we were carrying the Book of Mormon in our hands, and we got to explain its miraculous history which was really a cool and comfortable way to talk to others. We just need to find a lot more Books of Mormon in Arabic.
We also made a short road trip down to Stanstead (we could see the states from there) and it was so weird because people were speaking English and I couldn't stop starting to talk in French. It was actually really funny, but it felt good to be able to understand language so easily again. And Stanstead was like a mix of Meridian and Minden, so I felt right at home.
One thing that Elder Tarati and I love to do here, is just take the time to talk with people. It is funny how big of a difference a 30 second conversation can make in someones day, and seeing them smile does us some good as well! As we strive to become better people, we can't forget that the best people worry less about themselves and more about others. There is a reason why you are going to see the people that you will see this week! So make some of them smile!
Oh and Caleb that video of your mission call made my life haha. Awesome decision, and I'll be cheering you on from here in Canada!
I love you all and am so grateful for your prayers and thought and time. Have an awesome week, and appreciate it!
