Feb 11, 2019 TORONTO: I don't know why but God is being way to kind to us (I am so grateful!!!).

Miracles on miracles on miracles hahaha! Well this week was so extraordinary. I don't know why but God is being way to kind to us (I am so grateful!!!). I have really seen what sacrifice, diligence and obedience can do. This week we had an amazing guy get baptized, put another lady from Niagara on date for baptism for March 2 and still have the other lady progressing well and should make her baptismal date for February 23! I am still in love with this place and the people. The amount of peace and joy in the work I do daily is beyond what I have ever felt before. Not to say it's not hard but I have gotten to a point that I know what I am saying is not just something I have been told all my life. I know it's true and I appreciate this time I get to be a representative of Christ. Especially because I know my time is limited out here. I know I will never get another chance like this in my life. It motivates me a lot to make sure I strive to not waste one second of it! Little miracle from today actually was when I was getting a burger from this really hipster place. I was ordering and the cashier asked what my tag was. I was able to quickly tell her I am a volunteer missionary from our church. She was ecstatic as she had been looking for a church. I was able to give her our card and she is planning to come out to church Sunday as well as meet with us. It is amazing what a name tag with our Savior Jesus Christ's name can do. It is an extremely special opportunity to be a representative of Him at this time.  I know that "The greatest force in this world today is the power of God as it works through man." (Your Eternal Voyage Thomas S. Monson). Weather seems to be settling down a little as it has been pretty bad for the past couple weeks. But that's ok, it makes it more of a sacrifice to go out resulting in more blessings. Plus it kinda is exciting to be out when the snow is to your knees in the middle of a big city like Toronto ahha. Also had a super fun time going on all my exchanges. Was able to go with a ton of different Elders that are from all around the world! This place is so diverse its insane. Missionary wise and people wise.

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...
