| Jimmy and Judithe took a big step towards Christ this week by being baptized. We were so happy to be with them and to help them. |
Hullo le monde!
I am excited to say that I will be staying another six weeks here in Little Haiti! I wouldn't want to be anywhere else, donc ca me plait. I also will get to keep practicing my Tahitian with my brotha Elder Purahui. I always have fun with him. Last week he taught the 4 man how to do a haka, and we have all been wearing lava lavas... Who would have thought I would become a Tahitian Prahada here in Canada!
Canada is super weird, as Elder Cook testified, and we have had a range of 35 degrees to 85 degrees this week haha. I have been changing clothes as much as Perry does throughout the day. It feels weird to be back in a coat again, but winter isn't going to wait!
This Sunday was full of new experiences for me. We were helping one of our friends named Sherline come to church, and she is new to Canada, so we had to take the bus with her to help her get to the building. That was my first time on the bus here in Montréal (The last time was in Ottawa), and it was awesome. She also had 2 baby girls with her, so she needed us to push one of the strollers. A bunch of the incredible people at church came up and asked if I was a father haha.
Today I wanted to share the council of Alma to his son Helaman in The Book of Mormon. He said, "O my son, do not let us be slothful because of the easiness of the way; for so was it with our fathers; for so was it prepared for them, that if they would look they might live; even so it is with us. The way is prepared, and if we will look we may live forever."
Just like in the the time of Alma and Helaman, the world is full of battles and confusion and sadness. But I know that if we look towards Christ steadfastly, our stumbling blocks become stepping stones, and our sorrows are swallowed up in His light. Be anxiously engaged in the good cause of Christ and all things will work together for your good. He loves you and I love you, and lets all make this week awesome!

| I threw the house keys to Elder Hall, but they ended up getting stuck on the roof... This is him trying to save them. |

| While Elder Amichia was finishing up a discussion with Jimmy, Elder Hall, Elder Sorensen, and I all went to talk to some people. We found a bunch of creepy apartments, and I learned that trios are fun. |
