Week 1 of the new transfer & It's been a great week! Elder
Wilson is super cool, I was really excited since I already knew him from the
MTC. It's been awesome to get to know
him better. Here are some highlights of the week!

On Tuesday, we went to Odette's house to make Griot. It was
SUPER fun, and of course was DELICIOUS. We got detailed instructions and
pictures which will hopefully be able to help us replicate it. I hope I'll be
able to make it sometime! (See more pictures at the bottom of the page.)

Wednesday was Elder Sorensen's last full day. We were able
to pass by some members and investigators to say goodbye, which was awesome for
him. And, on Thursday, we took him to the bus station and he left to Gatineau.
It was a fun transfer with him! Shortly thereafter I met up with Elder Wilson,
and we got to work!

It's been pretty busy, which is always good. This Sunday
during Sacrament meeting I was able to give a talk on how we can fortify our
testimonies. It was awesome being able to study the topic for the past few
days, and I learned many things. One of the best ways we can strengthen our own
testimony, is by sharing it. We can receive very strong spiritual experiences
that help us know the truth, but after that, in order to keep the testimony
alive, you must share it. As a missionary, I have been able to see this every
single day. Every time I bear my testimony, the Spirit is able to testify back
to me that what I said is true. D&C 50:21-22 teaches, "... he that receiveth
the word by the Spirit of truth receiveth it as it is preached by the Spirit of
truth... Wherefore, he that preacheth and he that reveiveth, understand one
another, and both are edified and rejoice together." As we teach, the
spirit can testify to us as well, and both the teacher and the learner are
edified. It really is a wonderful blessing that has helped me throughout my
mission!
I hope everyone is doing well. I love you all so much, have
a great week!
