Well the polar vortex has passed....says the weather man at least. It has been so cold!! Like honestly Toronto is like a 100 times colder then Calgary haha. No it is warming up already its plus six today and super warm so that's brings me a lot of optimism. This week was another crazy week. We had three very long meetings one taking a hole day in Brampton which is about a hour away. But we still saw some amazing miracles! We will be having a baptism Saturday as he passed his interview. I am so pumped for him and just feel so blessed to be here as he makes this decision to more fully come unto Christ. One thing that our mission has really been focusing on is setting it on fire (not actually but just seeing miracles and being able to expect them through our faith and obedience). We have seen an exponential amount of miracles as we have focus on this in our area and in the area's we look over. The next miracle is we found three new people we are starting to teach and had two people at church that our people of interest (looking into the church that we are teaching). As well as we have another one on date for Feb 23 and she is so solid ahah. We had a great lesson with her talking about how she can be with her family for forever through temple work. She was ecstatic as she has had her dad pass away in the past year and a close relative just a week or so ago. Another miracle is she was able to get out to church and the prayer was said in her native language as we have many Filipino's in our ward that speak Tagalog. So already was just an amazing week. Super blessed to be out here and seeing so many miracles. My companion and I really are focusing on pushing ourselves and seeing miracles as we do things that are hard and inconvenient to say the least ahah. But we are seeing results from it and know our Heavenly Father is blessing us for it. I also know all that is hard Christ has been through and felt for me. My prayers have really been key in seeing miracles. I have notice as a direct result from sincere prayer the spirit stronger and stronger in my life. As well as focusing outward and not inward. Really trying to love the people we work with, missionaries and those we see on the street daily. A scripture that hit me this week was John 7:17 "If any man will do his will, he shall know of the doctrine,whether it be of God, or whether I speak of myself ".  We will know as we do. We need to be doors of the work just as James 1:22 says. I am big on this as I know with anything as you do you see results spiritually, Physically and mentally. Well excited for this week as I will be going on exchanges and away from my apartment almost all week ahah. So should be super fun and am excited to get to know some of the missionaries I am serving around. Well love you all and hope you have a wonderful week!!

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...

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...
