We have arrived!!  We are now in Montreal...  but will only be here until Monday. We are assigned to a smaller town in the South East corner called SHERBROOK.

Oh my goodness....  remember when we were told that Senior Missionaries take it kind of easy.....  NOT

We went out with our "trainers" today.... the Vallecalles

They fed us breakfast and then taught us the ropes until 10:30 -- then we were out and about.

From then until 6:30 we:

visited 6 families

the men gave 2 healing blessings

they contacted 3 families on the phone

went to the church and ran off the program for Sac mtg tomorrow

then went to the Mission Pres house and had dinner with their family and the Vallecalles. 

Home at 10 ---

that is a 12 hour day for those of you who are counting.  They said that they do that 6 days a week...  oh wait...  they come home early on Sunday and only work until 5!!  instead of 9:30   YIKES ---  these guys are amazing!!  that is why their ward now has a 60% attendance instead of the 30% when they arrived.

They have set the standard - now we have to learn to do it.

I did my mental stretching and gave 2 prayers in French (well kind of French) Brent was working hard deciphering the Classic French and the Quebecois.  So needless to say we crashed when we got home to our little hotel room.

Once we get to Sherbrooke we will hopefully have more time to add some more pics and info.
