Bonjour tout le
monde!
This week in one
word: change!
My oldest brother,
Austin, came home from his mission in Portland. I hear he had quite the
homecoming! Congratulations to him! He has always been an amazing example to
me. I've always looked up to him and I hope to serve as faithfully as he did!
Our area went through
a lot of changes! We ended up dropping a few of the potential investigators
that we had and did a major sweep through our area book. We found some really
solid investigators (I'll tell you more about them in a bit...) and saw a few
miracles!
But the biggest
change of all is that I'm being transferred! I kind of knew it was coming. The
area that I'm in, like I've said before, is the envy of the mission and it's
rare for a missionary to stay here for more than 3 transfers. So where am I
going and what will I be doing? Drum-roll please... I'm training a
new missionary (I won't know who until Wednesday morning) and together we will
be flushing (the two Elders that are there are leaving and we're replacing
them) a small town in the sub-arctic called Rimouski! I'm excited and nervous
but all-together ready for the change! That means I'll be going from the middle
of downtown Montréal to the outskirts of the mission. In fact, Rimouski is the
furthest north in the whole mission. It will be very cold and there will be
quite a bit of snow but I'm ready! It will be fun to train and I'm glad
that President Cannon trusts me enough to help the mission in that way.
(Speaking of the Mission President—we got word that the new Mission President
who has been called to replace President Cannon is Victor P. Patrick. I haven't
heard anything about him but the alliteration in President Patrick is packing a
punch!)
There was an accident
in the metros this morning and the whole metro line we live on was closed so we
got to the office pretty late.)
Here’s a bunch of
pictures…

A museum Caitlin took us to on McGill campus |
Caitlin made cinnamon rolls for me on Friday (my six month mark) |

I love this city! |
My last "J Dawg" (Send me more sauce!) |
Elder Reid wanted to play on last "Super Settlers" game this morning before he leaves |
Okay I know this is
lame and I do this so often but I'm out of time... One thing... Saturday
was Stephanie's baptism! It went very well! She was so excited and all of her
family came out to support her! That was such a blessing because we've been
working with her parents ever since I came here 4 months ago to try to get
their approval for her baptism. I was glad to see them there for it.
I love all of you!
Sorry I couldn't give you more of an update! Have a great week!
Elder Ellis
