Miracles!

Hello everyone!

It was a good week followed by an eventful, emotional weekend. We did a lot of knocking this week and we were able to find four new investigators. That was good for us since we've been on a bit of a dry spell with finding. We also did a lot of coordinating with the new sisters we received in our area since they opened the area last week and were starting from scratch. We also visited a few less actives and paid some visits to some people in the hospital.

On Saturday I got a letter from Zoe who was my main investigator in my last area who I worked with for over 4 months. She wrote to tell me she was getting baptized on the 23rd of Feb. I couldn't believe it. I hadn't really heard any news on her since I left and then next thing I knew she was getting baptized. I was pretty emotional for the rest of the day... and still am when I start thinking about it haha.

We also had transfer calls that night... and I'm staying in St. Foy but getting a new companion, Elder Leon. I've never met him but I hear good things about him. I got along really well with Elder Oviatt and I'll miss him but different companions means growing and learning different things. The mission's kind of crazy at this point. New areas are opening everywhere and a new Zone! I'm excited for the transfer though because a few friends from Ottawa are getting transferred to Quebec. Should be fun. We'll have a lot of missionaries in our apartment for the next couple days to accommodate for the companionships who live further out.

Love you all!

Moved In

Hi everyone!

This week went quick. We finally moved into the new apartment and it's so nice! It actually has carpet! No one in Quebec has carpet and I don't know why but we do! I'm pretty excited about that haha. We live on the 8th floor so we also have a beautiful view of some of Quebec. This week we also worked with a lot of the recent converts and less actives like usual, but we also found two awesome new investigators. They're a younger couple from Morocco who are super nice. We met the wife first, and the first thing she did was offer us chocolate cake! Haha it was awesome.

The effects of the age change are going to start here this week when four new sisters arrive, and then there's another transfer the next week which means more missionaries. It's going to start getting hectic for a while but it should be fun. This upcoming transfer is only going to be three weeks long instead of six like usual. That's going to be weird. A lot of new areas will be opening and there will be a lot of trios in the mission until President Cannon can get all the apartments sorted out. We're lucky we were able to get into ours early due to the sisters coming into the area. Hope you're all doing well. We're just going through another cold spell here. Hopefully it's the last one.

Love, Elder Oxborrow
