"To catch you all up on just a couple things. So the past few weeks we have been going to tristan's hockey games and I always feel dumb when I go to them. Normally I understand everything that is going on in sports and the rules and whatnot and now Elder Freeze tries to explain it to me and sometimes I still don't get it! Ha Humbe pie - I'd love some! Also 2 sundays ago we were in St. Lazare and Bella Stothart (an 8 yr old member) gave me a picture that she drew of me. So on the left half is a picture of me as a missionary and on the right side is a picture of me as 'Mortonman' - so as a superhero. Ha I like how she views missionaries! So one of our investigators has deemed me as the 'nerd' and elder freeze as the 'creator' haha good times. I guess wearing glasses that day didn't help my cause.
"We were able to have a lesson with Candace - a 17 yr old girl we found awhile ago - and it was neat because she hadn't done any reading in the book of mormon and so that was what our lesson turned out to be. She had talked about meeting with us to her sister and that was cool because she had some questions for us. At the end of the lesson our member was able to testify of the book of mormon and Candace really seemed eager to meet with us again this coming week!
"this week it looks like we will be teaching Seminary 3 times. We're excited for that! Ha In trying to prepare for this lesson I have grown in respect for seminary teachers! Congrats mom and dad for doing it so successfully for so long. Ha I'm grateful that I was able to learn the stories in the bible during seminary - it for sure helps now on the mission.
"Cool experience this week came from when we were up in Rigaud (about 20 min from our home) and we needed to call an investigator at 6:30. Well we were doing some tracting and when 6:30 came around... we couldn't get any service to call her. So it turns out that both E Freeze and I said our own prayers unbenknownst to the other for us to get service to be able to call Kristina. As we knocked on one door and returned close to the spot where we had tried calling but didn't have any service, I looked at the phone and we had service and were able to call her! Ha It was way cool! unfortunately she didn't answer, but our prayers were!"

The gospel of Jesus Christ is such a joy and light. I am thankful for its powerful influence in my life and the lives of my family members. I love seeing how the gospel fills each of us with hope and purpose.
This week I shared the following quote with Travis in an email:
"If you follow the Spirit, your personal search for the truth inevitably leads you to the Lord and Savior, even Jesus Christ, for He is “the way, the truth, and the life.” This may not be the most convenient way; it will probably also be the road less traveled, and it will be the path with mountains to climb, swift rivers to cross, but it will be His way—the Savior’s redeeming way." President Uchtdorf
I truly believe that. The gospel of Christ is worth sacrificing for. It grants the ultimate ability to find and feel lasting joy.
Love,
Jessi
