Dear Mom,
Wow, I'm glad you listened to my advice to sleep. I was trying to yell loud enough for you to hear;) Well, I'm glad your trip went so well. Sounds like fun. Well I will answer your questions then add whatever I want at the end:)
1. How is you new area? what is different? what do you like about it?
My new companion is great! He works like a horse! He is super honest and open which is really nice. We talk things out which is good. The town is super small but the branch is bigger than before. About 60 people go to church weekly! I really like it here. I like how we actually have investigators. That's fun. We also knock more. I have grown a lot in 2 days. It's nice to have a fresh start! I like the Branch. They are really nice. A lot of real French people so they are easier to understand. I like the cathedral here. It's really cool.
2. who is you new companion? what is great about him?
2. who is you new companion? what is great about him?
My new companion is Elder Hurtado. He is from Idaho. He is hispanic and super cool. I explained a little bit before. I really like that he is here for the right reasons. He wants to be as obedient as possible which is great!
3. do you have a ward or a branch? tell us about it...
We have a branch of about 60 regulars. The branch president is President Furlano. He is younger and super nice. His wife is super pregnant and about to have a baby. There are a lot of French people.
We have a like a miniture building which is super cool!
Ummmm...that's all I know so far! A lot of young families.
4. going to send a box this week, any requests? Ummmmmm....I don't know...this has nothing to do with the box but I need to know some workouts I can do. I am trying to get back into shape again but I don't know what to do. Any suggestions? I have some dumbells and that's about it.
5. do you get to work with inactives in you new area? Not a lot of inactive work. A little. A lot more investigators which is cool. A lot of spanish speakers too.
6. I saw lots of snow when we flew in, is it the same where you are? Is the weather similar to rimouski?

There is snow. A lot compared to St. George. Most of it is melting. Not as much as before. I have gotten use to it. Rimouski was more but here at Victoriaville it's not too bad. Right before I left Rimouski there was a huge storm.
7. Casey's choice- tell us anything you want!
7. Casey's choice- tell us anything you want!
Ummm...I am going to testify:) I don't do that a lot on here so might as well you know!
Well, really I have learned something really important on my mission.
That we should spend a lot less time trying to figure out the
complexities of the Gospel and more of the basics because we don't even understand that. I learned that I didn't understand things like faith, repentance, ect. as much as I thought. I knew them but I have so much more to learn! I can testify that the Gospel is simplicity.
Deep doctrine is only as deep as the simplicity of the basics let it. The Gospel IS faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, Repentance, Baptism by Immersion, gift of the Holy Ghost, and enduring to the end. I just have learned a lot about that recently. That if we want to understand the Gospel we have to live that. I know that ALL is centered on the
Atonement of Christ. Without that, we are helpless. Jesus Christ is the Savior of the World. He is my savior and yours. The powers of the Atonement are real. Christ lives and we are God's children.
