Montréal-Est Week 6

Griot from one of our investigators

Last week in the transfer! Sadly, Elder Sorensen will be leaving. It was a fun transfer together, and he taught me so many things. Elder Wilson, who I came to Montreal with, will be replacing him. I'm super excited! He's such a great missionary, and I'm really looking forward to serving with him. It'll be awesome!

Exchanges with Elder Teikiutapu

This week we were able to go on exchanges with the Laval Elders again. I went with Elder Teikiutapu, who is being trained by Elder Cash right now. He's from Tahiti and is SUPER legit! He's from a huge island pretty far away from the actual island of Tahiti where there is only one village of about 400 people. He showed me pictures, and it looks absolutely amazing. I want to visit him after the mission! We had a really fun exchange. It was his first time leading the area, and he did a great job! It was fun to be there with him for his first time. I also got to go on exchanges with Elder Amichia, my last companion. It was a lot of fun! We were able to find a ton of new investigators and saw miracle after miracle. On the first door we knocked, someone let us in! It was super cool. It was also Haitian Independence Day, so there were a TON of Haitians outside partying all day long. It was incredible!

Griot, Sauce Pois, and Legume

We also ate A TON of Haitian food this week. Two investigators fed us, we bought some Haitian food on exchanges, and we were fed at an FHE with a recent convert. We ate Griot, Plantains Frits, Riz Collé, Pikliz (a cole-slaw type thing with super-hot peppers called Pikliz, cabbage, carrots, and other stuff), Legume (which means vegetable in French, but is a Haitian food with pork and other vegetables served on rice), and Sauce Pois (which is kind of a bean purée that you put with rice). It was too much for one week, but you can never complain with Haitian food! And, tonight, one of our investigators, Odette, will teach us how to make griot, riz collé, and plantains frits. We're super excited!!!

Family Home Evening with Haschley & Jhonel

Well, I'm doing awesome and I'm continuing to see miracles every day. I'm sad to see Elder Sorensen go so fast, but I'm really excited for Elder Wilson to come! We're going to have a lot of sucess!

I love you all so much, and I hope you have a great week!

Elder James

We visited downtown Montreal this week!
(Notre-dame Cathedral) 

I made one of my mom's favorite dishes - cheese crepes,
but used Wal-Mart ingredients, so it wasn't quite the same.
But it was still good.
