Family,
This was a wonderful week. A long, difficult, wonderful week. I don't remember if I told you, but Yan Ricard, the man who got baptized when I was in Val d'Or, received the melchezidek (not spelled correctly) priesthood and is now 1st counsellor in elders quorum. What joy sharing the Gospel brings! We have been working really hard here in the Big city, it can be frustrating when you are responsible to share the gospel with millions of people--this mission is definitely lacking missionaries. We can now drive and because of our mobility we were able to meet with our amies and we will have a baptism next week, hopefully. We have been working hard with the members and all is well in our area. It's starting to cool down here, getting and staying darker earlier. I'm excited for fall. There was a jumper in the metro station the week before I got here, suicide by metro train. We've been told these will happen more often as winter comes. The missionary work here is terribly different than in the boonies. out in the outer parts of quebec, once you get a phone number to call or an investigator, you hang on to them for deal life. Here in Montreal, you call once, if nothing, you dump the number and move on. CRAZY.
Elder Dalton and I are getting along great, taking on the big city. We live in a little apartment next to a little park, it's in a quiet part of town, right next to a metro station.
The work comes forth, life is good.
Peace be the journey,
Elder Holm (1)
