Bonjour a todos
I have been trying to get back into an English mindset in this area, but it has been a struggle haha. The area is called Montréal East, and so a part of my old area is actually in it. I am now just on the English side of things. I am with Elder Smith, and he is the greatest. I have a lot to learn from him, and we are excited to do the work of our Father and enjoy in the miracles He showers on us. We have already seen many.
I have never been in a place or congregation as ethnically diverse as this part of Montréal. It is the most incredible thing to meet people from around the world and understand their culture as well as how they came to be here. We have also heard some mind blowing conversion stories of how people came to accept and follow Christ, and the joy they have found in doing so.
Today as I thought about what I needed to share with you, a memory came of a young man from the Ivory Coast. We were showing him a picture of Jesus Christ and he recognized Him as our Savior. We asked him, "Who is Jesus Christ?" He responded quickly, "He is like superman.... but invincible." It was great to see the innocent faith of this young boy, and I know like he does that Jesus is our personal Savior and Redeemer. He loves us and He knows each one of you perfectly.
In 1 Nephi 22:25 we are taught that,
"And he gathereth his children from the four quarters of the earth; and he numbereth his sheep, and they know him; and there shall be one fold and one shepherd; and he shall feed his sheep, and in him they shall find pasture."
I know that through Jesus Christ we may find pasture and have eternal peace and happiness. There is no unforeseen difficulty or returning sin that can separate us from His love. I invite you to seek Him by reading the scriptures with real intent and earnestly praying. His arms are stretched out to you, and you will find Him.
I love you!
Elder Wilson
