Montréal-Est Week 18


Montréal-Est District    
Last week in Montréal-Est! I'm being transferred, but I'm staying on the island of Montréal! I'll be going on the west side, which will be a bit different. My new companion is Elder Jeronimo, who is absolutely awesome. He was trained in Zarahemla before I came in the mission, so I heard a lot about him already, and I've met him a couple of times. He's super funny! He also is a latino (YES!), so I'll be able to brush up my Spanish a little bit more; I'm excited!
La Famille Saint-Louis    
Anyway, this week was awesome! A lot of it was spent saying goodbye to people, and I have a ton of pictures (that hopefully will make up for my letter being a bit small). I'm sad to leave, especially since there are a few people in the area who are super close to getting baptized, and I'm not going to be able to work with them! At least I won't be far away, so I'll be able to drive over to attend some of the baptisms. It was awesome to work with them!
Exchanges with Elder Cabello    
I also got to go on exchanges with Elder Cabello, which was really a lot of fun. He's probably the most energetic and fun person I know! He's amazing at using his personality in missionary work, which makes him a lot more likable for those he teaches. His area used to be known as a really hard area, but in the past 3 transfers he's been there, he's completely turned it around. He came in and decided that he wasn't going to expect what everyone else told him about the area, and just decided to get to work with a positive attitude. It was cool to see from our perspective how the area had changed because of that! They started finding constantly, they started teaching a lot of people who progressed a ton, and they started burning the area to the ground! It was just cool to see that as we change our expectations and go into new circumstances with a positive attitude, good things ALWAYS follow!
Saying goodbye to Elder Tueller, who is going home this week    
I'm definitely going to miss the Haitian culture over here, they are such a humble and faithful people, and, of course, their food is absolutely delicious. I'll miss that probably above all! But in my new area there are a decent amount of Africans, so I'm excited to get a little taste of that culture as well! I'm exicted to see what wonderful people await me on the other side of the island!

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