Elder Tate Wilson: CANADA Week 79-January 29, 2019

My man Tito.

Hola a todos!

We had a fun experience today haha. We were pulling through an intersection, and our truck died... So we tried to push it, but it was like -35 today, so the wheels got stuck. We ended up getting it pushed over because God sent a nice man to help us out, but in the process of pushing our car I got some frostbitten fingers haha. But we got everything figured out and my fingers work well enough to type. I love this place.

And even though I do love Quebec, I am leaving Thursday. I got sent back to Montreal, and I am excited to meet the people there. Sadly I will be serving in English, so I am going to have to learn how to speak it again. There are supposedly a bunch of Nigerian people there, and I can't wait to get to know their culture. I will be serving with Elder Smith.

This week I have solidified my understanding and become a witness of certain simple principles of the Gospel. Jesus Christ teaches, "Therefore ye must always pray unto the Father in my name" (3 Nephi 18:23). And again from the prophet Alma, "counsel with the Lord in all thy doings, and He will direct thee for good..." (Alma 37:37). I testify that the Lord wants to hear us, and as we engage in the work of prayer, we will discover and accomplish His will.

We tested this promise this week as we prepared for Church. Elder Rossi and I had set goals for our time together, and we had worked hard to achieve them. Although we worked, we were still going to fall short, so we asked God directly for His help. And He responded by sending 3 people to church this Sunday that had never met with missionaries before, but had been prepared in different ways. One of them had even found the Book of Mormon in a supermarket a few months ago, and had been convinced of its truth by the power of the Holy Spirit. God can accomplish his work.

Have an awesome week!
