| Nous autres. |
This week we sent Elder Fourie off, and Elder Newman and I were left to hold down the ship. It was quite a flight back for Elder Fourie, and he was still messaging some of our friends here in Montreal and sharing scriptures that he was reading on his voyage. We wish him luck in Australia.
We were reading a story about an ancient prophet living in the Americas and his teachings to some people. He invited them to be truly happy through following Christ. It was interesting to note that in this invitation to peace and happiness he made mention of God or Jesus Christ over 50 times (Alma 7). Are we as willing as Alma to recognize God in our mundane activities?
This week my belief of the importance of families was fortified. I have seen families struggling and individuals struggling. I have seen happy families and happy individuals. But nothing is stronger than a family unit that is centered on Jesus Christ. Heavenly Father placed us in families to learn and grow, and wants us to do our part to culture a loving and familial environment with those we are close to.
Living prophets and apostles of Jesus Christ have warned us to strengthen our families. Their words are in this email, and I invite you to read it and ask yourself, ''What lack I yet in my efforts towards making a Christ Centered family?" (Families don't always have to be related by blood). As you do so, the Lord will magnify your righteous desires, and you will recognize a change that needs to be made.
Some cool experiences lately:
- I watched Abiodun cook like 7 chickens at once for a Nigerian party, and they lit on fire
- I saw Quebec for the last time, and this was the only time I saw it without snow
- We learned some Inuit
- We helped a man who was falling off a cliff, because he dove to save his phone.
We love you.
Elder Wilson
