Happy New Year, everyone! I wasn't planning on staying up on New Year's Eve but I had insomnia. It was a REALLY warm night so at midnight I went out on the balcony in my robe and Birks to watch the fireworks. As the insomnia wore on, I heard more fireworks at 1:00 am so I went out to watch them too. They were bigger and better than the ones at midnight! No clue why they have two sets of fireworks here in Montreal but it was kind of fun.
It hasn't been a productive week at the archives because the building was closed Tuesday through Thursday. We had a senior district council on Monday and one with the young missionaries on Friday so we lost work time both of those mornings.
I had lunch with a senior missionary couple who returns home in two week...what genuinely sweet, loving, and kind people! This is their FIFTH mission!!!
I also had dinner with the sister missionaries and a family from the Montreal Ward. They have two small children and I loved being with little ones! When the 3 year old saw the M&M cookies I had brought for dessert, his eyes nearly popped out of his head! So cute! He didn't want to eat the cookies, just pick the M&Ms out.
A few weeks ago, I started attending the Montreal Ward in the morning as well as the Mandarin branch in the afternoon. The mom of the family is the Relief Society president and I've sat behind their family a few times in sacrament meeting.
I've been talking to two young men online about the church. One says he'll come to church this Sunday! But he lives in a different part of Canada so I won't see him. The other one lives in Africa and is just finding out about Jesus Christ for the first time. He has a hunger to know more and a great desire to own his own Bible. I've referred him to missionaries in his own country, but they are far from where he lives. It might be tricky.
