Family,

Super busy week! We spent a couple days up in Petawawa, a military base about 2 hours northwest of Ottawa, to help the missionaries up there boost their teaching pool. Afterwards we had a District leader council with all our District leaders and President Cannon, to discuss the missionaries in our zone and how to help them. Afterwards we went on splits, and saw some miracles! Sister Cannon came with me and two other district leaders, Elder Cherry and Elder Hibbard, and we taught two lessons and committed 3 people to baptism! Two of those are husband and wife, a small phillipino family with a 2 year old son. Finally, teaching a family! Missionaries' dream right there. Elder Leavitt took elder Dalton and President Cannon to Petronille...she needs another week before her baptism, she's just not ready yet. So it's this saturday! The suspense is killer. Our chinese friend is still trying to solve the puzzle of Christianity, before passing judgement on the book of mormon. Grrr. That's alright, he'll figure it out eventually.

Zone leader council was good, President Cannon went a little trigger happy with transfers last transfer and swapped out a lot of zone leaders, every team was affected (except elder Leavitt and I). So we helped the assistants train the new zone leaders about Planning and Area book and goals (the most boring subjects). We made it fun though. It's fun to see elder McRoberts once a month, he's been a zone leader in Quebec city for a while now. To be honest I'm quite excited to not be a zone leader anymore and just go and do work, to be rid of all this administration garbage.

Well, that was our week, lots of travel and teaching and committing and all that jazz. Way to go Chandler on fixing the cupboards! That's legit. Noah, you keep womanizing at those dance recitals!

Peace be the journey,

Elder Holm (1)
