Dear all,
Well, yesterday was Canada Day. We celebrated by getting chicken for lunch, and then got ginger beer for the evening as we sat and watched the fireworks over parliament from our apartment. I felt very Canadian.
President Phillips left this week and President Low came in. We had interviews with him on Saturday so that we could all actually meet him. I chatted with his wife while Elder Surette was in his interview and then had an interview with him myself. They are from the thriving metropolis of Lethbridge, Alberta, and they have already been mission president and wife for a year in Halifax. President Low served his mission as a young elder in none other than the Canada Montreal Mission, so he is very familiar with the area. It seems that he is very into technology. So far, really nothing has changed in the mission. I'll see what happens as things go forward.
We went to go see one of the members in the ward on Sunday who frequently has a lot of computer issues that he has us fix. He's an old Congolese man. He usually likes to feed us, but this week it seemed like he was a little short on food. He gave us hamburger buns doused in mayonnaise with dollar-store sardines. It was probably one of the most difficult things I have ever eaten on my mission. Definitely one for the journal. The whole encounter was incredibly uncomfortable.
We have to go to the Canadian mint today. Pictures next week!
Love you all,
Elder Hadden
