Testimony

haha Bonjour. Nothing much. Quoi de neuf? Oh Il y a un app pour le
français que tu aime?
What's new? Oh There is an app for French you like? (See what I did there...I used Il y a haha).Dad's talk sounded super good! I love the difference between
conversion and just going through the motions. It sounds like Skyler
and Chelsea come down a lot more than when I was there. You should
tell them to write me :) Oh really! That's cool. Does she have like
a super thick quebecois accent? Oh man that would be super sweet! Oh
question answer time!! 

 1. do you eat out a lot? where is your favorite place to eat there?
 No we mostly eat at our apartment. People
keep giving us junk food. We finally ate most of it luckily, but
there was some ramifications...A.K.A. my belly. I like the Catine de
la Gare. It's like a tiny shack but it makes the best poutine! Elder
Murphy got a gift card for Tim Hortons so we might go there. Oh Tim
Hortons is like super popular in Canada (as well as Quebec). They are
everywhere! People go there mostly for Coffee and such but they have
like good donuts and sandwiches too.
2.
how is the weather? is it warming up after the polar freeze? 
Il fait beau ici (The weather is nice)! Il fait 0*C maintenant.
So, ya it's really nice. A lot of ice in the parking lots so it's
fun, because it's like you're skating to the car. Ya, I'm so happy
that it's warmer! But everyone tells us that January and February are
le pire (worst). So, ya we will see.
3. 
how is your new companion? were you surprised that you didn't get transfered?
 Elder Murphy? He is good. We have been together for a transfer
and a quarter now so it's going well! Nah, I wasn't surprised. I
thought it could go either way, because I have been here long enough,
but also not super long. I know an Elder who has been in an area in
our district for six transfers (each transfer is 6 weeks so...that's a
long time)!
4. 
the new mission president for benin is from quebec- I wonder if you know him?
 What's the mission president's name? I probably don't know him,
but I'm sure someone here does. What city is he from?
5. 
 tell us about a great experience this week.
 A great experience was when we explained what a testimony really
means to a less-active. She had been wondering a really long time
what that really meant, because in the Church we use that term a lot.
We directed her to Le Guide des Écritures (It's like a mix of the
index and bible dictionary because it has the scriptures and the
definition) and it clicked for her which was really cool! She
understands so much more now and she is one of the nicest ladies
you'll ever meet! Silly too which makes the visits that much better!
I can't wait for you to meet these amazing people.
6. 
how is your french, I mean quebecois, coming?
 My French is good. We are spending this whole transfer only
speaking French. Which right now is a little difficult, but later it
will really pay off. Quebecois isn't WAY different...ok it's pretty
different. It's accent is like old french. Like how the King use to
speak...so they tell me:)
7. 
what is something fun you did with your companion this week? I was thinking of you, when CJ said that he stole his companions badge at night and put it in jello. haha Something fun...To be honest I can't think of something right
away, but I'll do something super fun for you this week so I can tell
you next week, qu'est-ce que tu en pense? (what do you think about
that?)
Well, hope you have a great week! Learn lots of French for me!
