"THis week has been a fun one that is for sure! It was crazy being transferred... but it worked out and I am loving Valleyfield! So Valleyfield is the name of the area, but we actually cover a bunch of littler towns like Saint-Lazare, Vaudreuil-Dorion, Valleyfield, Rigaud, Hudson... and a few more. They are all pretty small and it reminds me a lot of La Grande or Klamath because it is largely a farming community.
"The Church is relatively small actually. We cover two units - the St. Lazare branch is English and then we cover the Valleyfield Branch which is French. The goal for the Valleyfield Branch is to have an average attendance of 50 members by the end of next year. and it is bigger than the St.Lazare branch. Unfortunately, french people aren`t too receptive to our message, so most of our investigators <(all but 2)are English. But French is coming along still fine. I usually make the calls to members of the French ward and for the most part I get what they say. It`s exciting, that is for sure!
"So it has been fun because for some reason or another, people here know german. Ha I had written on my planner `Dem wahren shoenen guten`` and so it was fun to show them that and see if they knew it! Ha it was hard trying to explain what that meant in french because I know it best in English. To the True, The Beautiful, The Good - I think it is something like ``a la vrai, la belle, le bon`` but I definitely felt silly trying to explain that yesterday."
