Family,

So things have been going well. Unfortunately one of our missionaries went home today... sad face. Due to mental health issues. It was rough, but it was good as well, for him. We are seeing more success than I've ever seen in my mission, here in Gatineau. Unfortunately We'll be moving areas next week to be closer to the stake president. Some sister missionaries will probably be put in Gatineau...I hope they keep up all the good work. We had very powerful lessons with all our investigators, all our investigators are committed to baptism and we are sure of 3 of them, that they will be baptized in December. More could change with this next week. It's strange when you are doing so well, it is a beautiful, and stressful thing. The ward has clicked. We're ready to launch!

Elder Leavitt and I are doing great, we had a little falling out the other day but were both men enough to rise above our pride for the sake of our zone. We're best buds now. I just lost patience with him the other day because I was sick, but now we're right as rain, except for the fact that Elder Leavitt got Dear John'd today...ooof...He was one of the few left with a girl waiting for him...yikes. I feel like the last of the Mohicans over here. By the way one of my District leaders is Elder Fitzgerald, he showed me a picture of his sister and Carter was in it! His sister is currently dating Carter's Roommate apparently. Small world.

It's starting to get dark, and all the missionaries are literally afraid of the coming winter. It's not going to be as bad as last winter I believe, but nobody is excited. Winter here is like a giant tunnel. It's long, dark, and cold, and there's only light at the end of it. We had a "Winter sky" the other day, where the whole sky is covered by one large, in indistinguished grey cloud. Time to dive in!

Well sadly I must get going, our team of three sisters here is having some major problems getting along. Elder Leavitt and I need to go help them work things out.

Peace be the journey,

Elder Holm (1)

P.S. Ate Rabbit last week, it was...interesting. That's the end. Okay bye.


And I'll be posting a Mormon.org profile soon, look it up! and make your own, it's good for the church!
