Happy Super Bowl!

Hey everyone!

This week was another pretty solid week.

We drove out to the middle of nowhere in Scarborough to visit some members on Tuesday night and one of the back country roads we were on happened to be pretty much entirely ice. So we pulled up to a house and tried stop but drove straight into a snowbank. I wasn't driving of course when this happened. The car was also unable to budge at all out of the situation so I stepped out to push it and fell on my back as soon as my foot touched the road. For some reason Elder Ellsworth wanted to check if there was any damage and he also fell on his first step out. We fell a few more times walking up to the house and it was the wrong house. When we finally got to the correct house next door (after falling a couple more times) they weren't home. Luckily there wasn't any damage to us or the car.

One of the people we're teaching has survived the Rwandan genocide and most of her family was killed. The priest at her church in Africa had the power to save some people but basically turned a blind eye and that really hurt her faith for a while. She was having trouble recognizing what the Holy Ghost was and was kind of sad about that for the month or so we've been teaching her., but just recently that changed. We asked her if she felt comfort at church or when she prays, and she was able to think of moments where she did. When we told her that was the Holy Ghost, her eyes lit up and she was so happy.

One of our miracles for the week was when we tracted a hallway and not a single person told us no. It was only about 5 doors and they've been a challenge to get return appointments with, but I can see potential for sure. It was also just really relieving to not be told no.

Je vous aime tous!
