Le Cabin a Sucre

The official Canadian Sugar Rush translates pretty much to french as le cabin a sucre. Or more literally the sugar shack. This is where all quebecois, both old and young, rejoice together of the miracles known as MAPLE SYRUP! I have included a couple of pictures as I had the opportunity to attend such an event. Pretty much what this sugar shack is, is an all you can eat of anything maple, mapley, mapled, or mapled on. Including the most delicious thing in the world called tire, pronounced tear. Which is a maple syrup taffy that when hot is put, traditionally, on a wooden log full of snow. Then the consumer may stick a stick into the gooey now hardening deliciousness and consume of its glory as one may consume a lolly pop. I have included a picture of the making of this delicacy. One depicting a true Quebecois with their true Quebecer platter drowning in syrup. My new companion Sister Ford and I participating in the event. And yours truly posing with a chicken. You just can't go wrong with those chicken poses.

I do wish to apologize for all whom I inadvertently lied too when I stated that "I will never like maple syrup even if I live in Canada!" For it was a false statement.

Anywhoo. Now on to the spiritual stuff.

I would like to take what little time I have to testify of daily scripture study. A little over a month ago I made it a goal to study the Book of Mormon everyday. For those who are not familiar with this book it is another testament of Jesus Christ, and is very comparable to the bible though its writings stem from the inhabitants of the ancient Americas rather than that of the Middle East. However not only had I made this goal, I had decided to read it in French. Through that my language abilities have grown immensely. And if only that were the soul outcome of this goal. Through reading and studying the Book of Mormon everyday I have been able to learn and apply the words of the Lord. Daily. Through reading the book of Mormon daily I have been able to recognize the hand of the lord. Daily. I am growing in my testimony of the restored gospel. Daily.

There are so many other benefits that I have found from reading the book of Mormon...bet you can't guess what I am going to write...DAILY. I can testify of the redeeming love that Jesus Christ has for me and for all his children and through this love he allowed us to receive a divine translation of these scriptures that allow us to see more fully of his wondrous and mighty miracles. I can testify these things in the name of Jesus Christ Amen.

I love you all and have a wonderful week!
