Zarahemla Week 45

Old Port

Another week has quickly gone by here in Montréal! We are already in week 3 of the transfer which is still boggling my mind... I feel like I just got back to Zarahemla a couple of weeks ago! We've been busy, which for sure helps us stay focused, and training has helped a lot with that as well. It's been fun! Here are a few quick highlights from the week!

I went on exchanges with Elder Toledo,
and we saw Horacio! It was a fun day.

We had a cool experience going finding the other day! We've been working at being bold as we talk to people, and as we were passing by someone in an apartment building, we noticed an open apartment door with a large group of Spanish speakers having a party. It'd be pretty awkward just dropping in on the party and preaching repentance to them, but we decided to do it anyway! But, it was a miracle! The mother ended up being a member who used to go to church a long time ago with her dad, but stopped when she was about 13 years old. She was interested in coming back though! She has two kids that may have potential as well! It was awesome to see that as we just got over the awkwardness of some situations, the Lord makes miracles happen! Super cool!

We ate at Hermano Farfan's house!

We had Zone Conference, and it was President and Sister Phillips' (as well as my) last zone conference. There were many tears; we will all miss them a lot! We talked a lot about Spiritual Gifts which was very informative and uplifting. We discussed a lot about what spiritual gifts we had, and it was very interesting! I think what hit me the most were two principles that we learned... One, that all spiritual gifts are to be used to bless the lives of others, and two, that the Lord desires us to have ALL spiritual gifts; we just have to work for them. We were able to identify some specific gifts that we have the capacity for, and set some plans on how to develop them! It was a very uplifting experience.

Well again it's been a great week, things are going well, and Elder Salvador and I continue to have fun together! It's great being here in Montréal, and I'm excited for all the miracles the Lord has for us! I hope all of you are doing well as well, and I hope you have a great week. Love you so much!
