CANADA Week 63-October 9, 2018

Haitian Thanksgiving (Thanksgiving here is October 6th...) with my Haitian Grammy. They don't even celebrate le jour de grace, but she made us a meal because she is a sweetheart.

Allo des gens! 

Thanks for all of the emails and prayers this week. You are causing miracles here in Canada, and I can't explain how grateful I am for you.

The hand of God becomes clear in your life when you ask for it, and look for it. He wants us to know that He is there, and He knows us personally. That is something that my simple (he loves that word haha) companion Elder Purahui has taught me. I have seen him invite God into his life day after day. Whether it be by opening a door without a key that was locked a few seconds ago or praying diligently for the well being of others. He seems to be fearless.

I loved the teaching of Elder Rasband this week. Fear narrows our perspective (I hope that is what he said...). What is it that we fear in this life? How does that fear fit into the plan of God?

I love the People of Ammon in the Book of Mormon who "feared not death." They willingly gave their lives because of their love for their brothers, and because of their unshakable faith in the suffering, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ broke the restrictive bands of physical death, and removed the eternal guilt and shame that comes from our bad decisions and sins as well. He loves us, and because of His love and His life, we have nothing to fear. 

How important is our Savior Jesus Christ in your daily life? What could we do differently to remember him. I am excited to follow the invitation of the Lords Prophet, Russel M Nelson, and prayerfully meditate about the way that I use my time. I am certain that I will find a way to better remember and better serve my brother and example, Jesus Christ. I hope you all follow the direction from General Conference and the Holy Spirit in your lives as well.

Have a fun week, and love what you do! It is a beautiful and sunny day here in Montreal!

Our Friends dog left us a gift on the carpet. I almost kneeled down to pray in it without knowing because they didn't have lights, but my wonderful Tahitian comp saw it somehow...

Oeuf a la coque. Elder Jeanneau is a French chef, so we have been trying all kinds of French cuisine.

Pantouffles. Canadians love them.
