Hello
This past week has been so exciting, we are starting to see the fruits of our labours. This past week we found 6 new investigators, and 4 of them just yesterday. The members up in Bancroft, and the Thomas S. Monson camp director, are the people doing the work. Apparently there's only more to come, because we couldn't visit with all the people the members wanted us to. It is awesome. Not only that but our investigator Bowadi Affuo is praying for the baptsimal date October 17. Even though I don't think I will be here for that, it is very exciting, and my joy is full. I bought a new 8 gigabite MP3 player that was the same price as the 4 gigabite Coby. Mine broke down. I sent dad a letter, and he should receive that on his birthday or before hand. I'm keeping in touch with Elder Nilson, and I found out that he has 2 baptismal dates lined up. Great for him, since he just arrived in the field. I'm hoping for the one baptismal date before I leave Peterborough. I have been collecting the full series of the teachings of the presidents of the church. President Kimballs is considerably small, and that was disappointing, because if you remember I loved quoting from him. This next transfer I feel I will be moving out though. I am enjoying my new companion, he is really awesome, he prefers to listen to classical music on his mission, so we alternate. We really do get along quite well. My comapnion and I are going to go and play frisbee golf today, since it`s free, and since we both have frisbees. It`s going to be quite fun. The work is moving along, and here's a story about one of the investigators we found. Her name is Pearleen Plumptin, and she loves to do family history. We brought a member along with us, but she has 7 cats in her house. I think I might have a slight allergy to cats, because my nose was really bugging me during that appointment. I think you would have died if you went into that house dad, and my nose still has not recovered.
I love you guys a lot,
Elder Dumouchel
lol, there something that you and dad have to do for me, and it is written in the letter. you better answer it properly.

Hi mom
I can't believe Logan is already back!!!!!!, I can remember when he left like it was yesterday. General Conference is exciting, we are inviting people left right and center to come and listen to our prophet speak. A lot of less-actives as well. I'm kind of tired of nephews, tell Leiah I think I want a niece. My family will have tripled by the time I get back from my mission! I expect by that time Meagan will have 2, Leaih might have a 4th on the way, and Mark will probably have one by then too! Thats really crazy. This week things picked up, but do you remember me talking about that catholic guy. Elder Sanders and I just absolutely love talking with him, he's so smart. He actually asked us if we could share how we came to know that the Book of Mormon was true, it was like and awesome testimony meeting, this was yesterday, and it really brought the spirit. He also played the fiddle for us, and he is really amazing at it. I love listening to the fiddle. every time we go there and have a discussion it just feels good, learning about what they actually believe and sharing what we believe. I also learn so much from talking with him. After my mission I want to come back to Peterborough just because he's my friend now, and also just to talk about everything, talk about his pretty big book collection. He really is a great guy. I haven't gained OR LOST any weight since I've been on my mission, I'm not starving, and have eaten plenty, if this will make you feel better this past 2 weeks are really good for being fed. We even got invited to the Auburn bible chapel for some crazy lunch thing they do once a year. This happened when we tracted into this guy who said to come. The food was really good, and the people came up and talked with us, it was a good experience. Well i guess I'll ell you this story. We went to petro canada to fill up with gas, when a couple of university girls, wearing the blue Shinorama shirt asked us if we wanted a car wash, I had no idea what this was for, so I asked them,and they said if we donated to their cause, which is Cystic Fibrosis research, we got a car wash. So we got the car wash and donated after, originally we were just going to give them all our change, but I thought one of the girls was cute, so I gave them the only money in my wallet which was only a 10 dollar bill, also as a missionary I have learned a bit more about charity, and this was a better cause for that money then buying some toy or something for me. But that was pretty cool, they were all modestly dressed, which I really appreciated. Except for one of the girls boyfriend, he was in some black briefs, oiled down his chest, and went out on the side walk with their advertiesment sign. It was pretty funny. We noticed after that, that all over town there were university students collecting money, something like 500 students. It was very neat, apparently I think they do this once a year. While they were washng our car, we explained who we were and what we're doing.
Ilove you lots,
