Almost 10 months!

 25 March, 2013
Dear Momm
   I'm so glad to hear that everything is going so well at home. Sometimes, when i read your e-mails, it just sounds like we are all BUSY! I just want to take some time and relax a little. But i guess that's because now I'm thinking in missionary terms, and all that driving you do is UNHEARD of here because of our klick limit. But I'm so glad that life is still going on really well for you. I want to tell you as well, that looking at it from an outside point of view, I can see all the work you do for us without us knowing of it. I want to thank you for spending so much time driving us back and forth, and taking little time for yourself. Thank you! 
  What is happening here? Well, on monday a bit of the usual, just drew art, wrote letters, had a lesson with [investigators]. they are pretty awesome, super nice, but they progress very slowly, so sometimes its frustrating. Then had a lesson with [another investigator]. Then had a dinner with the Branch president and his wife (they are SUPER awesome) and then had a lesson with [more investigators]. They are doing SUPER AWESOMELY!!!! With them, we taught them the Restoration, and they accepted it pretty well. We left them with 3 Nephi 11. And they READ IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  But that's on another day. The next day was knocking in the afternoon (the worst time to go knocking) but we found a potential investigator. Then we had a lesson with a man who is working to get the priesthood (the second one, i'm not even going to TRY to spell it) [Melchizedek] then we went to choir and had a pretty good lesson with [a lady].  So that was the end of Wednesday. Thursday, we had district study, lunch, prepped for Correlation, had correlation with [a member], then took him to the house of this Hatian woman who is super nice, and talked about her son, who is a former investigator. She wants us to help him put his life in order since sports eat up most of his time.  Then we had  a dinner appointment with [members], then went to have english class with some Iranians. They are super nice! Friday was crazy as usual, trying to get a little bit of weekly planning in between TONS of appointments. Had a lesson with [an investigator who] gave me a Quebec flag!! [He] is from Colombia, and he only speaks spanish and a little bit of french. He collects flags, and I mentioned i was interested in buying one, so he GIFTED me one!!! This man is SUPER nice.  THen had a lesson with an older man who studied religion a lot, and a super cool member, who is also working to get the Melkchezadeck [hey, he tried to spell it this time!] priesthood. Then saturday was mostly passbyes, and knocking. and we had a lesson with [investigators]. Sunday was nice, did lots of passbyes that might have some future results, and then we had an awesome lesson with [investigators]. We answered lots of their questions, and then tried to commit them to baptism with a date. The coolest thing was the reason why they said not right now, we'll have to think about it, was because they understand how important baptism is. So we were floored by that. 
  That was our week. I won't get my package until next week, because we haven't gone down to Quebec in a while. like about a month. So, I'll get them on the 5th of April, or so. 
I love you lots, and hope all is going well for you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
