Last Zone Conference, Treasures from Walmart, Another great week...

Hey everyone! Another great week here! This week we had zone conference over zoom. It was my last zone conference so I gave my closing testimony. It was sad, but it was really cool to think back on my mission and all the things I have learned. My mission has changed my life. 

This week we recieved multiple referrals from people going on the church website and requesting to meet with us. That hasn't happened to me very often so it was really cool that it happened a few times this week! We have been talking a lot with the other missionaries in our zone and seeing how everyone is doing, we've also been doing FHE activities over messenger every Monday night and it's been super fun! Everyone in the zone is doing well and God's work is moving forward. 

I wanted to share a scripture and a quote I really liked this week. The quote is from Terrence M. Vinson. He said "Peace is not the absence of trouble, it is the presence of Christ". The scripture is 

1 Thessalonians 5:16 - go check it out! It's a good one! 

For pday today, Elder Scott and I did all of our shopping and the other things we needed to, then we went back to Walmart for fun. It's the only place that's open right now haha. We explored around for about an hour and ended up leaving with a half pound reeses peanut butter cup and a pack of 40 temporary tattoos. Life is good. Have a great week! Love you!

Detained for a minute or two, Crazy transfers...

Hello everyone! This week we have been super busy with a bunch of different things! We had our zone conference last Wednesday over zoom. It went really well even though we couldn't be together in person. The next day we spent a long time cleaning out the apartment of an area that closed down in our zone. To clean the apartment we had to go from our house in Quebec across the river over to Ontario. We went there and everything was fine, but on the way back we got stopped by the police. They are stopping everyone that tries to enter Quebec and questioning them about what they are doing. They did not like our explanation, but after a few minutes of them talking to us we finally got back into Quebec and got home. We also spent a ton of time this week working on travel plans for transfers. This is going to be the craziest transfer ever in this mission. Almost every companionship in the mission is being changed, so creating the travel plans was a long process but we did it! Sadly my companion Elder Thacker will be getting transferred. General Conference was definitely the highlight of this week! A couple of my favorite quotes were "The Lord loves effort" and "we didn't come this far, just to come this far."
The restoration restored the truth that God still works in this world. Miracles are still happening wherever there is faith! Have a great week!

Love you!
