Our car is a Wreck!

Fun news for everyone... thanks to an elder who crashed our car the week before I arrived... we are car-less for the next week or so. Saleen (our suby) is in the shop, which means she won't be dying while we drive anymore:) We are going to be riding bikes, which will be really cold and pretty fun as long as we can stay clear of the ole ice patches haha!

We had some pretty cool experiences, one of which while on exchanges.. Elder Beckman (Arizona) was with me and we were in downtown Wolfville street contacting/meandering through neighborhoods and we ran into a less active member from Vegas who is also one of the football coaches for the college here... pretty nuts. And immediately after we ran into this girl and then walked with her to subway sat down and taught her the restoration! It was an awesome lesson and she was asking all the good questions like, "What is the first step after" "How can I know if there is a prophet" and so on.. We then spent the rest of the night walking and knocking in the rain, but it was a toasty 16 degrees outside so it wasn't bad at all. 

 

Also spent last Tuesday up in Halifax, and that city is huge! We went street contacting near Dalhousie university and there were more people on one road than I've seen in my mission.

 

Last Friday and Saturday was the French temple trip, so I got to see all the French posterity.. The elders in Dieppe brought me a letter written by an investigator in Dieppe. It was a guy that I had taught while I was there. His letter was really cool, it was him bearing his testimony to me for a full page and thanking me for all the stuff I taught him about a year ago! It was really nice to get because for me Dieppe felt like a time of more personal growth than helping others but this letter was a fruit of work done in the past! Goes to show you never know:)

 

Dad, you'll like this story... We went to visit a less active member yesterday and he races cars. In his basement he has a literal half million dollar collection of hot wheels and in his garage he builds motors and drag cars. He has 3 cars that do 1/4 mile in under 9 seconds that are all street legal hahaha.. the man is nuts! He has an older corvette that he got by trading three of his hot wheels and the name of the corvette is #12.. its one of the rarest models ever built. Its awesome. If we ever go back I'll give you a pic or 6. Oh and he has 7 Barracudas.. There you go dad, don't drool

I've been studying a lot about the Fall, the atonement, and our earthly life. How grateful I am that we have a chance to be here, to learn and grow through our experiences and then to rely on Jesus Christ to return better than before. 

Take care, polar bear
