The votes are in America... and I've been transferred to......

Corner Brook Newfoundland! *cheers/claps/woops

It is 100% official... I am going to be a Newfy. I am no longer a French missionary, which is a bumber but I'll make sure to make time to keep time for the French language in studies. So this Thursday, I take a plane with another Elder and a sister to Newfoundland. Can't tell you how excited I am!

This week however, was a fun one.. Our investigator decided he was going to stay Catholic, even though he doesn't believe in the church and gets upset if he is called Catholic. His concern he kept bringing up was that he wouldn't see where his 10% went if he payed tithing. More or less we believe that was a pretty lame surface concern but that's all he would really tell us after we answered all his questions. So we are back to level 1 of finding all the time haha.. which is still pretty fun except for the fact we are running really low on Book of Mormons and the next refill will be in 2 weeks...

We did, however, teach quite a few less active lessons this week. In one in particular we read Alma 36 with a mom and her son who is 24. During the lesson you could see the scriptures having a massive affect on the son as he thought about the story of Alma and his conversion. The mom was very touched by the message and made comments throughout about how it's so nice to get back from work and sit down and relax and learn about God and Jesus Christ.

We also are assigned home teaching and we had a lesson yesterday talking about the early saints and what helped them cross the plains. We talked about Compassion, Hard work, and Optimism and I couldn't help but to share Elder Davis Cox's story. If you haven't read the first presidency message for this month, do so.. it is quite powerful if you let it be. Also met a dog named Jango, but it was Django after the movie... but still!
