CANADA Week 41-May 8, 2018

Sunny in Sherbrooke . . . We got to play some soccer​.

Hullo Friends and Fam! It was good to hear from you guys this week, and I am pumped to talk with da fam Sunday!! By the way what is the account that we will be calling? We will probably be calling from a members home and it will be around 3-4 Sherbrooke time that we will call . . . Maybe haha.

AND BONNE FETE DES MERES MUDDA!! It's the first one where I haven't been there to give ya a hug, so take care of her for me peeps. She's awesome!

Another sweet week in Sherbrooke. It's kinda weird to think that I have been in Sherbrooke for like 5 months now. But I am not quite ready to move out yet, so hopefully I'll stay another transfer. But we still have 2 weeks left in this one, so there's nothing to worry about yet. Church was pretty exciting this week, because we were translating for some of our friends and trying to explain what the church was for others, but it was a powerful experience like always. It's one of the only moments as a missionary that you have to think about yourself. What you have done and experienced, the good and the bad, and decide how we can become more like Christ.

Mon Frere mustasher (Asher) sent me an awesome talk a couple weeks ago, (Sweet stache by the way, it now has the Elder Wilson stamp of approval ;)), and it explains an aspect of our life here on the earth so simply that I wanted to share it with you. It says:

"There will be times when the path ahead seems dark, but keep following the Savior. He knows the way; in fact, He is the way. The more earnestly you come unto Christ, the more deeply you will desire to help others experience what you have experienced. Another word for this feeling is charity, "which [the Father] hath bestowed upon all who are true followers of his Son, Jesus Christ." Then you will find that in the very act of following Christ, you are also leading others to Him, for in the words of President Thomas S. Monson, "As we follow that Man of Galilee—even the Lord Jesus Christ—our personal influence will be felt for good wherever we are, whatever our callings."

I think that it is important to know that as we come to Christ we will naturally start to help those around us follow the same path. It is easy to be scared of reaching out to others, but we just need to change our perspective. If you are already trying to follow Christ, NOTHING CHANGES. As Dieter F Uchtdorf said, "Regardez L`homme"  (I think it is like "Look to the Man" in English). It is so simple and it is so powerful. Let Christ be the center of who you are. 

I love you all, and thanks for all of your support and love and thoughts. You guys mean so much to me, and your influences have been felt here in Sherbrooke as well. Make this week awesome, and have fun!

Elder Wilson

Poutine and exchanges with Elder Roskelley. Yes he knows and is related to the Roskelleys in Idaho.

I brought a little bit of Idaho to Canada with my Mama's mashed potatoes.

Elder Tarati and I studying while waiting for Mami to finish talking with her fam.

He loves me I swear.

I don't know if you guys remember my friend Alfred from Gatineau, but this Saturday he followed through with his decision to be baptized! Elder Desvergez, who is STILL in Gatineau haha, let me know the awesome news. Now he just needs to see the incredible blessings of the temple.

Cookies and scriptures (she has to read a scripture before eating every cookie) that we gave to a sister here who had surgery on her hand.

Elder Tarati and Elder Sprague teaching my friend Pitou (the dog).
