Good Morning Montreal!

Good Morning Mom!

This week was great overall. Today is awesome. We went for a run this morning. It is so fun being back with Elder Fontaine. I have definitely been praying for the house to sell. Living near the Nzojibwami's would be really great!(we are looking at a place near our friends)  Kananaskis looks beautiful. Lewis is such a champion.(sent him pics of Lewis on his scout trip this weekend...cross-country skiing in Kananaskis)

This week went like this:

Monday:

It was Kenny's birthday, so we made him a French yogurt cake. Yum. He hasn't been to church in a while, but we visit him every week. Then we had FHE with the Aguirre family.

Tuesday:

I was on exchanges with Elder Andersen. We buried a dead bird for a member... ya.(here is where I laughed out loud when I read this...he's so funny!) Then had dinner with the Lungu family! I love Moldovan food. We then taught Bernard. He is preparing to be baptized! He came to all the sessions of General Conference. The lesson was great, we were all uplifted.

Wednesday:

I had fufu for the first time, with the Frimpong family from Ghana! So good. It was great, we also had a lot of time to go around and talk with people. You meet the most interesting people in this city.

Thursday:

We had a rehearsal for the song we are singing at the Easter Concert.

Friday:

We had a Zone Training Meeting. Near the end we had a short testimony meeting. This was one of the most powerful times on my mission. As we shared with one another our experiences, the room was filled with a sweet peace, a warmth. In other words, the love of God. I know that is what we felt. I know that our Saviour lives. Jesus Christ is the way to joy in this life. I feel it everyday! What a blessing. What we teach, and what we learn is truth. Undeniably.

Saturday:

We had lunch with a member in a huge tower-like building, with valet parking. It was sweet. Then we taught a new family. They are so nice, really spiritual. Then we had a dessert bake-off for a ward activity. We made the yogurt cake again and got a solid third place.

Sunday:

Church was great. We had the privilege of going with the Bishop after church to take the sacrament to some older ladies in the Ward. It was a great experience. Then we had dinner with the Feth family from Brazil!

Pretty good week all in all. Hope you have a good one!

Love Elder Heinzlmeir
