| Can you see the city? Me, neither. Montreal is a cool city. |
Dear all,
This week we got to celebrate Halloween, which means nothing super special happened. But, we did go on an exchange with the zone leaders, and I spent a wonderful day with Elder Fourie. Elder Fourie has the most interesting accent of anyone I have ever met. He was born in South Africa (he's white though), and is one of the few people in the world who speaks Afrikaans as their native language. However, when he wasn't too old, his family left South Africa to move to Australia. Because of immigration problems, they spent a while in New Zealand where Elder Fourie learned English. He's spent the last 10 years in Perth, Australia. So his accent is a weird mix of Holland, South Africa, New Zealand, and Western Australia. Very very interesting.
All in all, It was a wonderful day of pretty normal missionary work. Cedric even fed us dinner.

| Montreal selfie. Elders Blinn and Hadden |
Last Tuesday, Elder Blinn and I had nothing to do, so we decided to take a walk up to the top of Mount Royal. I was super impressed with Mount Royal park. It's in the middle of Montreal, but it feels like the woods. There were times when it was just Elder Blinn and me by ourselves, surrounded by nothing but trees. No city. No people. Just woods. It was amazing.
Last night while we were visiting some people on our ward list, we decided to go pass by this random guy we heard about from Sister Phillips. We stopped by his address, and he opened the door with a cigarette in his hand and let us in. As we talked, we found out that he was trying to quit smoking and had just relapsed. We talked with him a little more, shared some scriptures, and gave him our number so he can call us if he needs some help. It was a cool experience to be in the right place in the right time and to be able to help out. Hopefully we'll be working with him a little more.
That's all for me
Love you all,
