Cher maman,
Salut! Winter has arrived here too! It hit the negatives the other day! That was exciting. But the cool thing was I wasn't cold! Thermals and good jackets help haha. Oh really it'll get as high as 9? haha Ya it's not that bad. I actually kind of like it. For now. Ask me in a couple of months what I think ha. I love carli's theme! It made me laugh out loud (LOL..? didn't know I'd actually use that in a sentence until now).
I'm glad you did so many temple sealings! I was afraid
Carli was going to fill the whole house with temple work to do! OH YAA!!! Tell Chelsea happy birthday! I have lost track of what the days were so it's a late happy birthday but happy nonetheless! :)

I'm so glad carli did so well!...
Oh I love Elder Maynes talk it was awesome! Oh good I'm glad you're using running quotes. Running and life and pretty similar if I do say so myself. Don't get me started on all my running analogies:)
Umm at Christmas we can either call or skype but I'm not quite sure which one to do. Skype would be cool but it'd be a lot harder!
Anyways, my week!! It's Elder Heder's last week with me and so today we go down to Quebec City and tomorrow
he leaves on a bus to go to Montreal and I stay with the Quebec Zone leader for Tuesday then my new companion (Elder Murphy) comes that night! It should be good stuff! I'm sad Elder Heder is leaving though. He really has changed my life. It's hard to really write it in words. You know how I'm really hard on myself? Thanks to him I'm not near as hard and my life just feels that much more positive! He
works hard like no one I've met. He is friendly and just has a way with people. He is just amazing. I hope you can meet him that would be a dream come true! I couldn't have asked for a better trainer!!
This week we had a baptism of S.!!! Oh man I'm so excited! We baptized him in the Cegep (like a college and a high school mixed together) pool which was funny but super cool. A member was going to do it (like it should happen) but cancelled two hours before so Elder Heder did it. That night we also had a Souper (dinner) with the Branch right after and right after that a fireside where President Fourtina talked about how the church works. Then, we had transfer
calls so that was an intense night. Sunday Steeve was confirmed and I had to do it...scary stuff. I did it well I thought. I just tried to follow the Spirit. So he's a member officially now!! He will get the Aaronic Priesthood soon which will be cool. He is an amazing Quebecois man. I hope someday you can meet him! Then most of the rest of our weekend was saying goodbye's for Elder Heder. It was sad,
but cool to see how much he has touched people's lives here. He truely is an amazing person and missionary! Well, let's see what else...I can't think of anything other than the baptism because it was just so great!

I'm glad to be a missionary! Have a great week!

Dear father I,
My week was great! It's freezing and I love it! It snowed like crazy this weekend.

OHH outback the joys of bread and Aussies. That's too bad BYU lost. I'll have to break the news to Elder Heder. Oh, how's tithing settlement? Oh ya I forgot to say HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!! I forgot because we already past it here.
I love those insights. It's true the last thing you said. President Hinckley once said that the best remedy for things is to turn to help others. It's true. It's funny how that work. God made us that way on purpose I think. That everytime we turn in-ward nothing is fixed and it get worse almost self-inflicted really. But when we turn outward things just seem to work out. I have really found that out on my
mission. Forget myself and go to work. Still a work in progress but it's the journey not the end that counts! We had around 21 people at church with a huge storm so that's really good! Sorry your letter is short but I said a lot more in Mom's letter and I'd figure you'd read it. Dad, thanks a lot.
Elder Heder asked me (in a long car ride back from Quebec City) things I've learned from you that make a good dad. It really opened my eyes and I'm sorry I'm not very grateful all the time for what you've done for me. Your example and really saved me... You were always there for me and really a great father. Not perfect, but greatness isn't measured by perfection, but by effort and I can say that my dad gives more effort than he is ever given credit! So thanks!
Have a great week! Love you tons!
