"In our french branch we have a lot of less active members who live really far south from us. They don't get visited very often because it just takes too many kilometers to go there. But we decided that we needed to just swallow the kilometers and visit them. So we made a day of it and went all the way down to the US border. It was really neat to visit with these people because one didn't know that the church was even near her, some others were excited that we had come and want us to come back more often, and others were at least nice to us. It was crazy to think that we were pretty much touching the United States this week when we took a picture of being at the border. It was cool because we visited a part member familiy that has 17 huskies. Ha they use them for dog sledding. Super cool. It was neat to be able to get to know them and teach the wife who isn't a member. We visited with this one family who has 10 kids and one car. So they say that it is hard to get everyone to church because of that...
"as we were finishing up our trip down to the states, we came back through valleyfield and were able to meet with one of our investigators - tristan. He was the only one there and we had a really cool lesson with him. We went outside and told him how the holy ghost can be like coke and mentos. if you relate how it says in 2 ne 33:1 that the holy ghost will carry the truth of the message unto the hearts of the children of men, but not necessarily into. That's where we come in. We have to open the door for it. Ha So we had a bottle of coke and then the mentos in a sleeve up top with a little stopper - so then we had tristan 'let the holy ghost into' his heart.
"This weekend we had a really awesome part member family move in. We spent several hours helping them move in on saturday and went back yesterday to help a little more and tonight we've been invited to dinner there. Ha it is cool because they live literally a minute from our house. The parents have been baptized for about a year and a half now. They're great. We're hoping to be able to work with some of their kids.
"This week we taught seminary 3 days and it would have been 4 but we had that trip to the [less actives] by the states. It was really fun to have to prepare the lessons and teach the seminary kids, but I am also grateful that it is over now too. Ha We had a lot of fun with that."
