Yes! Candians do celebrate Halloween!

(Sister Cummings)
Well to be honest I don't really have time today to write much plus not too much has happened this week. It felt kind of like the quiet before the storm, with Hurricane temple being forecasted in the near future with the opening of the doors to the public this Wednesday. Our Preparation day is even cut short in order to have training. But none the less this is what happened this week. First off before I forget, we received our transfer calls early and it seems that Sister Rawlings will be leaving me to go English speaking. However I will be receiving Sister Blanc! She was my third companion in the field and I am sooooo excited to have her (and her food) with me again! =D Anyways let us continue...


Yup thats right elders with swords. Scary experience. Sister Rawlings and I gave a training in our district on the amour of god and how obedience is our protection in our work relating each piece to a certain council that we are given such as studies, planning and of course the sword of the spirit. As we had about three weeks to plan the training we decided to make it intense. Each Elder got a sword and Sister Rawlings and I made bets on who would break it first. We were right.


This week was the ward Halloween party where we found our buddy the Canadian Mounty. Hmm sometimes I forget I am in a different country, mind you everyone here speaks French but still somehow it is more of a culture shock to see a little kid running around in a red uniform on Halloween than ordering food in French. Either way Sister Rawlings and I took the initiative to make our mission to Canada complete by taking a picture with a Mounty. Check!

​The day of Halloween was pretty hard. We literally had no one to see planned. But we called up a few people and it turned out to the one of the best Halloweens ever! We started off with raking leaves, a perfect fall activity. Then we decorated someone’s house for a Halloween party and finally we passed by a family just as they were getting ready to carve pumpkins! So we helped them out =D Things got pretty intense once the power tools were brought out =D


Well I hope to have even better pictures next week! I love you all!
