Andrew arrived in Canada on April 17, 2007 and was sent to Sainte-Foy a suburb of Quebec City. The flag he is holding is the Quebec Province flag, the province which most of his mission is located in. He got this jacket at the Canada Montreal Mission Home when he arrived and said that it would work fine. This is his desk in their apartment . . . we don't know where the Silly String came from!
Here are some of the missionaries who were in the same District and/or Zone as Andrew while he served in Sainte-Foy.
This is Andrew and Elder Jibson . . . his first companion. They look ready for business!
The areas that are highlighted on the map below show where Andrew and his companion have gone "tracting". Tracting is when you knock on doors and try to interest people in learning more about Jesus Christ and his gospel. Of course, in Sainte-Foy this is all done in French.
Who is this fellow that Andrew is talking to? He looks very of interested in the Book of Mormon!
Here are some pictures of Andrew's apartment. Who was cooking tonight? Is that really Canadian air conditioning?
This is Andrew and his second companion, Elder Armstrong, with some of the members of the Sainte-Foy Branch.
Andrew has had a chance to meet, teach, and get to know many different people. These are a couple of his investigators.
Every Monday the missionaries in the Canada Montreal mission have what they call P-day . . . the "P" stands for preparation. They use this day to do laundry, write letters, check their email, go grocery shopping, play basketball, and relax. It looks like he has taken up lawn bowling!
Not everyone who is taught by the missionaries joins the church, but Kevin and Isabelle felt the spirit and believed the message they heard. They were an awesome family and were baptized in May 2007.
Another investigator who Andrew taught was Stephen. He also listened, learned, felt the spirit and had the desire to be baptized. The tie was given to him by Elder Fresh and Elder Armstrong as a remember of his baptism day.
On October 2, 2007 Andrew was transferred to Mascouche, about 20 miles north of Montreal. He packed his bags and took a three hour bus ride to his new area. More to come . . .
