Another week done. We finally got in contact with Alexis one of our investigators. Turns out he was in the hospital for a while and that's why we couldn't get in contact with him.  He's basically ready but he just can't get a ride to church. He lives an hour away from the building. It's a little sad that no one is willing to go and get him every other week. Though a lot of the people here don't have cars and need rides anyway for the winter. We also don't have many members in this branch and the ones that can drive are picking people up. Aaah perks of living in the middle of no were! Thankfully on the good side Alexis (Pronounced AlexE because he's a guy not a girl) is doing great! Like I said before he's ready for baptism. We went over the importance of the sabbat and how he can do a little more to make his Sundays devoted and a set apart. He was able to get Sundays off from work!! It made me wonder how hard we are working to set apart to the lord our Sunday. I never thought of how tough it would be if I was the only one around that believed in the same things that I did. It really is a blessing to be able to go to church once a week and partake of the sacrament!
The next big thing that happened was Anna (the investigator) really made a great strive to read the Book of Mormon and pray about it! She read about 90 pages!! that was easily the high light of the week! Beats the fresh baked Quebecois flat cinnamon roles with maple syrup easily!! She's on track for her baptism on the 26th of March. She had only two questions from her reading. It was which church is 'the devils' church and why it has described with such terrible feminine words 1 Nephi 14: 9 and 10. Thankfully I remember my Dad talking about those very verses so I was able to respond without a problem. I had to stumble through some french vocabulary that I haven't used before but it worked out. Sadly she didn't come to church this Sunday (she was out of town) but were working with her on that!
So glad I have this occasion to help the diverse people of Quebec! It's easily been the most rewarding time of my life! I hope that you all can find some time to serve your fellow brothers and sisters! It's one of the most rewarding ways to spend time!
Driving about to some other towns and townships I was able to find a cool old windmill!

Keep on working hard! Thanks for everything!
