Just another Manic Monday

Get it? 

Hah, hey everyone! How the heck are you? Me? I'm great. :) 

We had transfers this week, and we got a wave of new missionaries! We had 22 new missionaries come in on wednesday, and 13 of them are sisters. Holy cow! :D the whole mission is full of Greenie Fire, and all of the members are rejoicing in having sisters in so many new wards, it really is an exciting time in la Missionne Canadienne de Montréal! As for our little zone here in the Rive Nord, we received two additional teams. Growing all the time. ; ) One of the two teams was my dear friend, Elder Bangerter! :D My MTC companion is finally in my district..... and he's fourty five minutes away from me with no car. We had district study over the phone. He's finally in my district, and I don't get to see him any more than I did before. :P That's life eh? But we're all pretty excited, because we also have Elder Heder in the zone, who was the third missionary on the plane with us on our way here. When we arrived in Montréal they sent us all to different corners of the mission, and now we're reunited together on the Rive Nord.

Victory. :)

Other than that, the week was.... well.... normal I guess. A lot of things that were supposed to happen that didn't, a lot of things we weren't planning on happening that did, Miracles coming from all directions, the normal for the life of a missionary. ; )

The exceptional day of this week was Sunday. Sunday we had a surprise.... named Lucie! Lucie is a woman that called us asking for a blessing last month. We gave her the blessing, it worked splendidly, and we haven't heard from her since..... until yesterday when she showed up at church! Our wonderful ward was on that like a dog on, well, a hot dog. In the first twenty minutes she'd been roped into singing with the choir, and invited to a members house for dinner. I love Laval. :) And she loved church! Which was great. We're excited to start teaching her for real. ; )

I feel like the biggest Lesson I've learned this week is obedience. My companion Elder Murphy is the single most obedient missionary I've ever met. I think I could honestly say he's the ONLY missionary that I would call 100% obedient, all the time. It's great! For those of you who know me, you will recall that exact obedience has never been my forté (I'm getting better!), but being with Elder Murphy has been doing wonders for me, and this week I think we really saw the blessings for that. After all, obedience is supposed to be the first law of heaven, or something like that. ; )

Speaking of, I'm about to go over on E-mail time, so! I'll have to leave you with that for the week. Know that I love all of you, and I keep you in my prayers! Go share your testimony with someone this week!

Ciao!
