see i liked nova scotia because it was relatively cool all throughout the week with an occasional light snow. but here in Quebec, something must have seen me step off the plane and was like, hey you know what would be funny? if we made it 98 degrees and super humid. so i proceeded to sweat more than i think ive ever sweat before. it was nasty. Fortunately we dug out an AC unit and installed it and it's been pretty pleasant ever since. So that was an adjustment.
Other than that interesting day, Elder Calabuig and I have been teaching quite the storm. ive been able to get to know a handful of members, and have several lessons with many of the people we are teaching. half unfortunately are not tec savvy nigerians so if we get a hold of them, it's a miracle haha. so when COVID stops they will probably be the moist progression haha.
I've also gotten to know the people we are teaching a little better! There is Ryan, a younger middle aged man who has been searching, joined the faith of his wife but is still open to the idea that more truth is out there. and he is one of our more solid people. we have been reading a lot out of the book of Mormon with him so help him feel the spirit of it and to know of the truths inside it. and it's been pretty good so far. Unfortunately he and another guy we are teaching got some gnarly sunburns so they are recovering for a season haha. The other guy that got sunburned that we are teaching is Gilles but pronounced Jill. It took me a handful of days so get that one straight haha. He's a little more flakey than the rest. and he's been taught for a very long time but just lacks the commitment to change so we are having him read the book of mormon more in hopes that it will change his nature and he'll want to change himself. then there are 2 sons of a recent convert one is 7 and the other 10 and they are a rowdy bunch. during on of out lessons they started hitting each other and it got out of had real quick and because it was a video call, elder Calabuig and i had no idea what to do so we kinda just muted ourselves and turned off our video and waited for it to get sorted out, then we proceeded with our lesson haha. There is also a wonderful man, Irish, and he is just waiting for covid to lift so he can get baptised. He's a motorbiker and he's so solid.
the rest i'll introduce when we actually see/get in contact with them haha.
In other news, transfers is quite unique and as of now we are in a trio and Elder Nelson is with us! he spent 10 weeks in the MTC learning Japanese and was originally called there but Covid happened and he was sent home for a season and got reassigned here! he will only stay with us till the end of this week, and then we will have another Elder with us until the end of the transfer? i'm not sure, but will be in a trio for the foreseeable future so that will be quite legit. its been quite the time already and it's super fun to do this work. not as fun as traditionally missionary work, but it's still quite fun.
We also participated in another MLC and that was super legendary. we got a little chastisement from our wonderful president Low. and there will be quite a few trainsings on planning, goal setting, and the safeguards. so it will be an epic series of district councils, and zone conferences. unfortunately our will be the last week of the transfer haha.
I love it here in LaSalle, such an amazing ward and people to work with. it is kinda weird having people speak to me and i can't understand them, its like the brother of Jared kinda vibe.
i also can't tell if my english has gotten worse i feel like it has haha. anyways, love you all and hope the very best for y'all remember to read your scriptures and to pray! especially for missionary work because a lot has changed, and missionaries need some divine assistance.
