Hello hello! Man, this week has been NUTS! And chalk full of miracles, and of nostalgia. First of all, between Monday and Tuesday, Elder Smith and I were invited to 6 dinner appointments. Four of them were on Monday. I thought I was going to DIE. It IS nice to be loved by the ward though. :)
Then, Wednesday, I arrived in Longueuil! Kind of. We had a
Zone Meeting, and immediately afterwards I had a split, and I headed
down to Sherbrooke, only a couple of hours away from the good old USA!
And I was with none other than my dear old friend, Elder MURPHY! You may
or may not remember, but he was my companion in Laval, 6 months ago.
Needless to say, it was super cool to see him again, and to spend some
time with him. :) We also had an elder named Elder Freize in the
appartment with us, who was trained by my trainer, so between the three
of us we had a lot of remeniscing to do. :)
And! We saw tons of miracles. Not the least of which
was knocking on the door of a woman who turned out to be the AUNT of a
missionary I know who served his mission here! WHAT ARE THE ODDS?! She
was super cool, and even started to cry when we started talking about
her family. :)
So, that wonderful split was all said and done by
Friday, so Friday afternoon I was back to dear old Longueuil for reals,
and our first appointment was with some former investigators of mine,
Gaetan and Francine! It was so cool to see them again, and that has been
the general feeling of this week. Just, fun, and cool to see all my old
friends. :) I feel like the world is whirling by at a million miles an
hour, and everything is changing all around me, but now at least I have a
little piece of the familiar around me every single day, in the area in
which I work. So! For this next week I've looked up most of the people
that I used to work with, and my companion and I are going to go pass by
all of them that we can and see what's going on! I'm excited. :)
Love,
Elder Christensen
