Kirkland Week 4

Beautiful Sunset by the Riviére des Prairies

Family,

We had a great and busy week! Things are going great over here in Montréal; we've been staying busy and trying to keep out of trouble. We've been finding a lot more Nigerians recently which has been awesome—they have such an amazing culture! Here are some highlights of the week.

Exchanges with Elder Menzel

I went on exchanges with Elder Menzel, a district leader in the zone. He is from Germany and is super cool. We had an awesome exchange, and were able to find an incredible family! We just knocked on their door randomly after having an appointment fall through, and they invited us in! They had apparently met missionaries a long time ago, and wanted to learn more! It's cool to see that although someone might not be ready at the moment, they could be ready for other missionaries in the future!

We've been teaching Ron more and more over this past week, and he's doing SO awesome. He came to church this past Sunday and loved it, and we were able to teach him later that day. We taught the Plan of Salvation, and he said that he knew that it was ALL true. He said it was weird, but that he felt very strongly as if he had already known the whole thing before. We were able to testify to him that the Spirit was only helping him remember the plan that he already accepted before he came here to this earth, and it made total sense to him! It was amazing to see evidence of the divinity and truthfulness of this plan. It certainly was a miracle!

Well we are doing awesome; I'm loving this area more and more! The cold is slowly starting to come back, which I am not particularly excited about! But it'll be fun. I love you all so much, and I hope you have a great week!

Elder James
