Season 3 Episode 11: The Sackville Snow Days

We had quite the service and contacting filled week! but here are some of the highlights! kinda working backwards:

the community of Sackville had a bunch of events where a lot of people came so, we took it as an opportunity to both volunteer and street contact. unfortunately no one was interested, but it was great practice for Elder Rougeau haha.

during such service we were able to help barrace streets for a parade (that was the shortest parade i've ever seen like 5 different things and that was it haha and really only 1 float)) but that was fun! we ran into John while helping out so that was neat!

The day before (Sunday) there was a firework show and we got to talk to many people then as well! there was also Aiden's farewell talk because he is going to the washington DC west mission and left early this morning! 

then  the day before that, Saturday, there was a free lunch and museum tour and we talked with a few people there as well, but for the most part it was a bunch of older people that cant hear haha. Aiden had a farewell party and we went to a bit of that talked with his family and a couple of his friends and then went to go teach John!

Then on valentine's day we found a couple to teach! so that was really neat! we couldn't remember what the wife's name was, but we also met Bruce! it was kinda fun, because we first talked with the wife and she had met with missionaries in the past but not from here, and became not interested becasue of our views towards same sex attraction and what not, and then we got onto a differnet topic and she mockingly called her husband saying "these people belive in this!... did you hear that they believe this..." so he eventually came down and told us he was an atheist and I had the most awesome discussion with him. elder Rougeau talked with the wife while i talked to Bruce and we talked for probably 45 minutes about a wide spread of topics from evolution (which I wrecked his views on), Moses (at one point he picked up a bible and read it from genesis to exodus and he stopped and has many questions about why moses killed so many people...) so we talked a while for that, then the book of Mormon and convincing evidence it is, and then the witnesses and my testimony of its truth, then miracles, it went on and it was awesome. needless to say, we are meeting again on Saturday!

we have also had some good contact with Dee. shes doing ok and is struggling financially and is bouncing from place to place so we haven't had any solid lessons again yet! we are meeting with betty on wednesday and we are pumped for that!  

there was also a solid family history mutual event going on that we went to and one of the guys we have been wanting to contact since christmas came! his name is russ and he had got the spirit of elijah tell you what! so we are going to try to set up some times to help him out! also on wednesday we had our last district council and man this district is so solid. everyone just worked so very hard and  has been blessed for it incredibly. it's so cool! it's been an awesome privilege to be a head in this district.

but those are pretty much the highlights! I hope you've enjoyed reading! I love and miss you all and hope you all are doing fantastic! remember to read your scriptures and pray! it will make it even more fantastic!
