Also went through my first exchange. It was a two hour drive to get to the other Elders and everything that was planned for that day was canceled. We did get to do some service done sorting old food for the needy. We sorted peppers. I have never seen SO MANY PEPPERS in my life. Seriously I wish I would have taken a picture! We spend about 1 hour and a half sorting edible and none edible peppers and we did not finish. It was great service and I wish we had a similar place in Sherbrooke! After we had a DA with a great amis. The rest of the day was just port a port and contacting. It wasn't bad all in all though!
We had a great Zone training! President Patrick is great! We have a weekly news later here called the Trumpet in which we get mission news, goals, reports, and other similar things. A letter in the Trumpet titled `The Vision to Baptize` came out = almost a year before I showed up. Elder Ritz showed it to me the week that I got here and we have been thinking about the `Vision to Baptiste` and how we felt that we needed to start applying it to are actions in Sherbrooke. Then last week in the Trumpet Pres Patrick said that we were going to talk about The Vision to Baptize in the next Zone Training! We were so exited! It was an amazing training! The spirit was very strong!
The next day I had terrible allergies. Following that day I was very sick. Thankfully it only lasted for a day but it was on the Fourth of July so that was lame.Not that they celebrate The 4th in Quebec but we planned on doing some intense barbecuing that day but it had to but canceled. Thought Saint-John the Baptist day was several weeks ago and Canada day was on the first so we did see some fireworks. Saint-John the Baptist day is basically Quebec's 4th of July. They had a ton of singing in the park near by on that day (they don`t know how to sing here. It`s all done through the nose...). They didn't really celebrate Canada day here thought. That`s Quebec for ya!!
I hope everything is going well! Keep to the faith!
