Thursday was transfer day and we had the kentville elders, barkdoll and Johnston stay with us so they could make it to the airport in the morning. The first trip was at 5:30 and he got oh his way, then in between we helped with operation sandwiches, then we went back to the airport to pick up elder Johnston's new companion! As for the rest of the district, the 2 trainees (sisters goodliffe and murray are both leading out their areas in cole harbor and Dartmouth and sister Goodliffe is training! So that will add quite a but of pep and zing to district councils.
We also taught John that night and switched things around on him and gave him a preach my gospel to read instead of the triple combination! So we are excited to see what he gets out of it!
Then friday we did a little bit of research and in short are going to start up a family history group at the local library! So that will be super fun to get started.
Saturday was great we had a zone leadership call where we got the focus points for this transfer which are increasing personal conversion and working with ward/branch leadership. The latter probably being the most needed in our area Haha (not that it's bad, but we are still waiting for more councilors to he called so there can be a missionary work rep. And not just bro Murphy haha). we also got to teach Bruce and Saundra again and they are fun. each time we go over, they show us the new renovations they did on their house and talk a little about worldly things, but then have a solid discussion. they are awesome.
Sunday was great. The testimonies were great. kinda wish there were fewer stories, but what can you do haha.
Monday was great! we had one of the most fun lessons with jonathan (he's the young kiddo) and we talked about Jesus the whole time and was able to share exactly who he is and the circumstances of He and John the baptist's birth with the new testament stories book! we also had a mission wide leadership call and that was the most neat experience. all the leaders in the whole canada montreal mission got together and discussed humility, logistics, and duties especially for the district leaders. and ive got to step up my game haha.in short, the way ive been conducting council hasn't been bad, but I definitely need to loosen up and I need to be doing more of the teaching. (previously I had other missionaries prepare teaching moments which isn't bad, but the focus has shifted and im excited).

I wrote a lot down from that meeting and i dont have my notes from it with me at the moment, but he shared something in 3 nephi 11 that I had never even considered and it had to do with listening to Heavenly Father's voice and there were 3 things we had to do to get there and i cant remember what all of them where but one, was to open our ears to be humble to hear, to change our position and i can't remember the last haha.
Anyways, love you all and hope reading this helped you feel the spirit! if not, you can always read the scriptures and pray and feel the spirit that way!
