Well it was great weather all week, it was around 16 to 20 (60-68 F) all week and didn't rain too much. It was nice.
So it was transfers yesterday. I am getting a new companion here in Peterborough, his name is Elder Moulin. He is from Sweden or Switzerland, I don't remember what they told me last night. I am excited. I think he is a French missionary and he was in Val Dor up north. It will be sweet.

This week the missionary work was pretty crazy. President Ballard was coming for stake conferences and so he was going to have a meeting for the missionaries as well. To prepare for that our mission set a goal to talk to 5000 people in the 4 days before. It was pretty crazy. Me and Elder Ernest pretty well went contacting with any free time that we had. It was quite the experience. We talked to 200 people in the 4 days. We saw a ton of miracles. We have 7 appointments this week with people we met so it should be a good week.
The conference itself was fantastic. President Ballard, Elder Gay, and Elder Homer were at the meeting and it was a fantastic meeting. My whole mission was all together for the first time in my whole mission. They shared a lot of really good things and promised us some sweet blessings. One main thing they talked about was the more we talk to people the more we will teach, the more people that will get baptized and the more people will come closer to Jesus Christ. Elder Gay came to Oshawa's stake conference the next day as well and his talk was fantastic. Some of things he was saying and the stories he was telling just made him so much more of a real person for me. It was neat to see. Even though he is a General Authority he is still a normal person that goes through hardships as well.

Spiritual thought. I was reading the scriptures with missionaries Sunday morning and we talked about how you can't sit on the fence with the Gospel. We need to be all in and giving it everything we have if we want to get to the Celestial Kingdom. You have to fight for righteousness, as Elder Nakamoto says.
Well that's all I got for everyone this week.
