Prince Edward Island! Home of Anne of Green Gables

Well I was so blessed as to go to Prince Edward Island this Week! It was gorgeous, rolling green hills, bright and sunshiney. I don't think I could have asked for a more Ideal place to be. We took a wrong turn that led us through a bunch of small towns all over the Island, and in a way it reminded me of Southern Pennsylvania. Anyways! We were able to do a Blitz in the smallest area of our mission, Montague, PEI. they have about 4 towns, and they talk to everyone in each of those towns about every 2 transfers. We had the opportunity to go to work there though! In talking with the people there they definitely knew Mormon Missionaries, and the people quickly rejected us! but that was AOK. We did find a lady that I'm sure the missionaries had probably knocked on her door a couple times so far this year, but this time the lord had made her ready. Many things had culminated in her life to prepare her at this moment to talk with us. She was obviously having a bad day, and she poured her problems out to us for about 15 minutes. All we did was offer to pray with her, and that was what she needed. She was Ready! and the missionaries in Montague will soon start teaching her We were able to meet one of our investigators at the Park to play some basketball with him on Friday, His name is Pierre. He's a wily french man! we balled up with him for 30 minutes or so and soon it started pouring rain (as seems to be a typical day here in Moncton, NB) We kept playing and soon 3 high school kids came and challenged us. We destroyed them of course 😉 but we all had a good time at it! Missionary work is a blast, and we can find people to teach in fun ways too! (Sadly we ran out of time, and couldn't talk much with those dudes, so no sweet stories like them being baptized or something) Life is great! choose to love it Elder Johnson I threw some pics of PEI down here, one with my "son" elder Nelson (I trained him) one with a guy I met when I was like 12, we went to Brandon Hurdman's B-day party together! I forgot to send this other picture of elder Hoole and I with Zoe, (our gangster investgator, Jeff's daughter) We stopped in to congratulate her at her cheer competition
