Montréal East Week 2

Road trip to Ottawa

Family,

Another great week in Montreal! I'm convinced that I'm never going to leave this island, and I'm more than okay with that. Here are some highlights.

We ate a lot more African food this week. We had more Jolaf rice, Foofoo, among other things. I'm absolutely loving the African culture; they are all super amazing and welcoming.

We're teaching a man named Gabriel who is super solid. We went over to his apartment the other day, and we talked about the Book of Mormon a little more in detail. It was cool to see how much he understood, and how prepared he was to learn about it! The concept made complete sense to him, and he was excited to read more of it! He told us he'd finish it in 2 weeks, and we thought he was exaggerating, but he's been doing well so far! He'll be preparing to be baptized October 27th. We're excited!

Conference was awesome! Our whole district was freaking out about the temple announced in Lagos, Nigeria; our members are incredibly excited. It was fun to show those we are teaching the living Prophet and Apostles in action. It's always amazing to listen to their voices; each time I do it always confirms my testimony that they are called of God, and that this church is in His hands. It was an amazing weekend!

Again, it was a great week. This upcoming week will be a bit busy, but it'll be fun! We will be driving to Quebec City tonight, and I'm excited to go up there for the first time (on the mission).

I love you all so much, have a splendid week.
