Volume 22: The Big Bruh Moment

Salut mes amis! J'espère que tu est bien!

 

 

Get ready for a doozy pt 2, but luckily this a little better than the last one (I think at least). Anyways I hope you all had a great week, and I also hope it's finally warm. Yesterday I woke up to a blizzard... I was not having it, but it's all gone now so I'm happy now. C'est la vie right? This week was good until last night. We had lots of good lessons and both Elder Giesbrecht and I have been getting a hang of French a lot more even in the week it's been! Nothing that interesting happened, but we had many things planned for the month of April that's for sure. I don't know of I've said already but I've been the head twitter guy for the French content part of Twitter for a while now (if y'all have Twitter go follow @JCinEC thankssss) and Elder Giesbrecht and I came up with the idea to make "how to" videos because it's been hard to get people excited for Twitter. So we made the introduction and it was a blast. I'll try and send it here. So in conclusion we had lots of plans for the page... now all that's been botched, and let me tell you why. So last night at like 10 pm we got a call from the APs (the missionaries who assist the president), and they said some things were gonna be changing. So right then I was like there is no way this is gonna end up well. They continued to say that we were gonna have a ET (emergency transfer) so tomorrow at 750 am, I'm leaving Granby and going to Sherbrooke with a new companion. Right as I heard that, I was pretty mad because I thought "why would they do this" since we had just started figuring things out here and now I'm peacing out tomorrow. My mind just went totally negative, and the stresses of a new area started to come in (I was like bruh I just got over my other stress). But in the end, I honestly felt more at peace then angry (even if I was still a bit mad). I really thought I would be a mess, but the thought came into my mind "this isn't your mission, this is the Lord's mission" and it's so true. We are called to serve the Lord and help others feel the joy, hope, and love that come with the restored gospel. We are also on the Lord's time, not our own; so if that means that tomorrow I need to be in Sherbrooke, then I guess that's where you will now find me. Life might seem unfair at times, but if you remember that God knows exactly what you need, and when you need it; life is just so much better. I've come to learn that each day here on my mission. I'm definitely gonna miss Granby, the people here are great, and it's definitely not the goodbye I imagined. But I do know that new adventures are to come in Sherbrooke, and the Lord has many things in store for me there. So basically I'm gonna be doing a lit of packing and doing a few things before I peace out of this place.

 

 

Dispite all that interesting news, we are now allowed to have zone conference in person! So that means I will be able to see my wolf pack of 4 district again. So its definitely not goodbye, it's just not an ideal situation. Also for some light, I'm so excited for General Conference this week! It's gonna be so good, and I can't wait to hear the prophet speak. But here's the thing, it only dawned on me a few days ago that I will probably have to listen to all of it in French... ya that's gonna be hard. I don't know why I didn't think of that. Anyways, I invite all of you to think of someone who could benefit from a message of hope, and invite them to conference! I know that when we do this we will be able to help others see the light, even if they think there's only darkness.

 

 

"But even though we may feel lost in the midst of our current circumstances, God promises the hope of His light—He promises to illuminate the way before us and show us the way out of darkness."-Dieter F. Uchtdorf

 

 

Love you all and have an amazing week!

Avec amour,
