| I found Crash's sister! Her name is Princess! It felt super good to pet a Boston again! |
The hand of the Lord has been rather clear this week as Elder James and I have been working hard to help and serve the incredible people in our area. One of the most comforting phrases in the story of Nephi the Prophet is coming to life before our eyes. The Lord said, "Ye shall know that it is by me that ye are led." He goes on to explain that we will know who He is, and that He has delivered us. One of the personality traits of the Savior is just that. He wants us to know that He leads us, and that He will help us. He shows to His people again and again and again that He loves them and He will deliver them. We say often that Christ is the head of His church, but He is also the head of our lives. How have you seen His hand today? Do you remember the times that you have seen His influence on your life before?
I was able to exchange with and learn from Elder Amichia this week, and it was a pretty incredible experience. He showed me the importance and necessity of not just enduring but enjoying. He is nearing the end of his time in Montréal, and he has such a strong desire to help the people here. He has allowed himself to change, and he loves helping the people here. He pointed out some things for me to work on as well, because I have a lot of changing to do as well haha.
We had an interesting experience this week. As many of you know, I have a VERY slight germophobia issue haha. I think God has loved putting me in situations to challenge that little problem, and this time was clearly one of them... We went to do a quick service for a super cute old Haitian man named Frere Charles. We get there, and literally the entire building smelt a little bit like death... So hesitantly we walk over to his apartment which has bug traps just outside, that had more bugs than traps haha. So we start the service, and there are bugs dropping from the ceiling and unknown substances everywhere, and I ended up wrecking my white shirt. But we moved his fridge and his very slippery and grimy stove, and I know 100 percent that I wouldn't have been able to touch that jazz without the constant help from God and my love for this little Haitian man. The Lord promised that He would try our faith, and I can testify that He keeps His promises.
We also can't get rid of maggots in our garbage which has been SUPER fun haha. I love my experiences.
I love you all, and I am so grateful for your prayers and thoughts and wisdom. I will do my best to show the people of Montréal how awesome you are!
