Surprise Guests! Our Next-door Neighbors!

Fun story for you to start it off... I'm blessing sacrament yesterday and I notice sitting right in front of Elder Hart is this couple who looks identical to the Wilkes from next door.. So I continue on my way doing my duties and stuff. After we were dismissed to our sets sister Wilkes waves to me and the confusion and shock poor right in! They are up here touring around and they dropped in to my church! So crazy! They told me garret gets home August 2.. So I left a month before him and he beats me home hahaha.. Funny stuff

Last week we had a lot of good fun.. It was zone trainings, so we got to to to New Brunswick east where the French areas are and I got to see and take a picture with my descendants of that zone (there are a. Few others scattered abroad) it was an awesome meeting.. The Zls started with asking us the question, "what causes us to not believe that God will trust our effort?" It brought up a huge discussion on how we have inadequacies or weaknesses that we believe will stop us from being able to see success.. It was an awesome discussion and we all left feeling pretty excited to do the work:) we did an exchange with Moncton right after it, so I got to work in my old area:) it was fun hearing chiak again (French/English)

Wednesday was one of our normalproselytizing days, we taught a few lessons and tried to resolve some concerns that an investigator had after he looked up all sorts of fun anti.. Anti is so lame.. You'll find it for football even, it's just the stupidest excuses to have doubts and attempt to justify them.. A less active we are working with said this, "I use to look up anti because I'd get mad at the church and want to justify my anger" which is true in most cases.. The best way to learn truth is to learn if from the God of all truth and pray! . Friday we were in the Canada day parade, it was awesome! We handed out tons of cards and it felt so awkward to have a rock float in front of us and a pizza store behind us, both blasting acdc. We then had another zone training for Nova Scotia where a few of us were able to bear our final testimonies.. That was awesome. There were 6 missionaries of the 14 going home In our zone and each time one of us went up it was like watching a friend go in their mission again.. I'm not excited to end my mission.. I hope you all know that. It's like being torn in half. I love the people here, and the missionaries I've served around have become some of my best friends and my dearest family. Of course I miss you all in the promised land and I'm not going to stay here forever like mom dad and dusty may think.. But I honk you get the point. The mission is awesome.

I've been reading a chapter every night before I go to bed in French, and it's been awesome to see how God is blessing my efforts to keep the language. I run into people from all over the place every day and many of them speak only French.. I ran into a few sailors, a few businessmen and some tourists! One was from Montreal and started of by saying, "I am sorry my English is not very good" so we started speaking in French and he was shocked I was from the US haha.. He thought I was actually French:) so that got me right excited. 

I love you all:) I hope you have a good week and happy fourth! I'm missing my favorite holidays for the last time :) I'm missing Pioneer Day 3 times though which makes me sad.. And shark week... 

Je vous aime
