Holm Family.
This week has been good. One of our golden investigators came back to church after going AWAL for a couple weeks, then we found out she actually belongs in the Laval ward, so we`ll be passing her off to the other elders. Canada is super hot, and humid, it`s like living in a crockpot. For serious. Elder McRoberts and I have been working hard and have had some good success, there will be for sure a baptism this saturday--no more postponements or anything like that. This last week contained CANADA day, which Quebec doesn`t really celebrate, and QUEBEC day, which we weren`t allowed to prosylete during. The days in between these two holidays are the national, moving days. We`ve been doing hours and hours of service moving everybody and their dog this last week. Oh, how I dislike lifting heavy things. But our service has been rewarded with lots of new investigators and member cooperation. This last sunday was the first Sunday with the two wards, we`ve been working hard to keep track of everyone and make sure that no one goes less active during this difficult change. All day at church was...interesting. Elder mcRoberts and I played an amazing game of tic-tac-toe, I`ll have to send you a picture sometime. At church on sunday we manned the doors to greet the members, and it just hit me as strange as I was sitting there--a long string of members walked by, we greeted them all, speaking 3 different languages with them. Some of them greet us in french, others want to practice their english, others are tired and find it easier to talk to us in spanish. It was a really cool gift of tongues moment as we fluently alternated from language to language without skipping a beat. Really cool. The Lord blesses you when it`s necessary for his work.
Mom and Hayden`s birthdays are coming up soon, let me know what you guys want from Canada, I`ll be sending home some stuff two weeks from now! Transfers calls are on the 16th, a saturday, and actual transfers will come on the 20th. So if you want to send stuff, as quick as you can! Because the Mail strike is over, HALLELUJAH. It`s about time. We saw a squadron of 4 large mail buses rolling out to deliver and we nearly jumped for joy, the other day.
Have a good week!
Elder Holm
