July 23, 2018: Well had another wonderful week!! We were able to keep so busy which was so nice!! We got to go to the primary party because they wanted us to help out at a members house and it was a blast!! I um got a little wet as one of the bishopric members decided to dump a huge bucket of water on me wearing my shirt and tie hahah good times! I legit was drenched head to toe. Also got fed everyday this week so that was a big plus ahah. The weather has been cooling down to like 30 so thats good...if you call that cooling down. We had rain for the first time in a couple weeks which the farmers really need out here. But its been really good out here. I was just telling my mom that I am so blessed to be here as it is really making me understand the importance of being obedient. I said to her " This week we had two days where we were packed every minute. Like we didn't have anytime to find because we were teaching!!! It was so awesome to have that happened twice this week. I know its because we are being obedient and working very hard. We are for sure seeing blessings from it. My view on obedience to the commandments for sure has changed since I have been out here. I for sure think a big reason I was sent to a mission where we don't teach and baptize a lot was for that reason!". Like I said to my mom: I think being here has really taught me a lot as if you aren't obedient and don't work hard you are almost for sure going to fail and not see success. President Monson says it best "A knowledge of truth and the answers to our greatest questions come to us as we are obedient to the commandments of God." . I know it seems like it is dumb sometimes to be so obedient but and can seem like you are losing the chance to have fun but even when you don't know why something is there I know it is there to help bless your life! Even though many times you don't feel that way. Well I am doing really great and am loving the people here!! Transfers are next week so I don't know what will happen but I am pretty sure I will be staying here! Love you all and hope you doing great!! Ps. I hope everyone is enjoying their summer because I am!  3 minute mormon message on obedience: https://www.lds.org/media-library/video/2014-06-1130-obedience-brings-blessings?lang=eng

Surprise, we got transfer calls! I'll be leaving and heading to the heart of downtown Toronto. I will now be in the Toronto YSA ward and training a brand new missionary for my last transfer. Super hyped I am staying in the city and probably going to my dream area to end ahh....well this past transfer was pretty close to my dream area as well haha. It was another extremely bumping week. We were able to find 5 new, have 3 at church and three on date for baptism!! It is for sure bitter sweet but I know God has some crazy amazing things in store for Toronto YSA and us. This past week was sweet as my companion and I legit felt like celebrities  . We honestly had five or six people either come up to us or over hear us talking to someone else and want to hear more about the powerful message of the Restored Gospel. This truly shows me the power that comes from the message we have a great priviledge to share...let me emphasize it's not us it is the message we share! It is becau...

Well Peterborough is sweet. My new comp is from southern California and got to Canada this past week. We have had to walk a ton as the last Elders left no kms on our car. So for the past three days we have only walked, which has been intresting. Good though as we aren't working with a lot of people yet as it's only been a week. But miracles are happening already for our diligence and hard work. We have got two people on date for baptism on Nov.25 so that is extremely exciting. We were able to find 3 new people this week who we started teaching and got some more appointments this week which will hopefully turn into new people we get to teach. Theres a lot of uni students as there is a college and uni in this city of only 80,000 so it's been fun talking to a lot of them. A lot of them are really open and enthusiastic about God which is super cool to see Haha. This week there was a scripture that really stood out to me in Mormon 9:31 which reads "Condemn me not...

Sept 10, 2018 Staying and Training

Well transfers happened and I will be staying another here. But will be training a new missionary so that will be a new and exciting experience for sure. It is crazy to think its been six more weeks and now am going on 12 weeks here in St. Thomas. We have some super solid people so Im so excited to see them progress. For sure am pumped to see what comes from this next six weeks here. We were able to find a really awesome family to start teaching from knocking the other day before a dinner appointment. That family I'm very excited for. Another lady with three kids we found this week. She was in a rough situation and so she just got out of a bad place and now is really looking for comfort. We taught her once and she is very receptive and truly felt the spirit. Another one is that door a couple weeks ago we felt prompted to knock on is progressing and should be coming out to church next week!! Then of course we have a 9 year old on date for baptism in Oct. Which is so exciting! So the...
