People Actually Came to Church

Montreal Town Hall

Dear all,

It's been a good week for the work. One of the members we've been working with for a long time, Brother Bailey, came to church this week. We organized a ride for him with the Braos and he came 30 minutes early and stayed the whole time. Hopefully he enjoyed it; he still has some concerns that he's working through, but our hope is that he'll be more open once he starts feeling good at church. 

We met with a member named Zora this week. She's a McGill PhD student originally from Kazakhstan who's studying Russian literature. She's incredibly intelligent and well educated, and has a very strong testimony of the gospel and the scriptures, but not of the church, too much. We're trying to meet with her every week to just talk about the gospel and help her have spiritual experiences. She is really cool to talk to, and has a very interesting story. This week she told us about Chaballah, which is Jewish mysticism. Very interesting.

Transfer calls are this Saturday. I seriously hope I stay in the Montreal ward, but I probably will leave. Maybe I'll move upstairs and go to the Mandarin branch. I'll know next week.

Love you all,

Elder Hadden
