April 15, 2019 Great experiences with investigators

-
Hey everyone! It's finally getting warmer so that's a score! Well another week full of learning, growing and crazy sweet miracles. I'll start by telling one. So we were having a super solid week and out of no where we get a text message. It was an online referral for a Bible and Book of Mormon. So we were pretty hyped and we phoned her up and set up a time to drop by. We then returned the next day to drop it off. As we were talking to her and explained what we do as missionaries she was extremely excited to hear that we share messages about Christ. By this point I felt so good about her. But what happens next was insane and for sure leads me to believe God put us in her path to help you find truth. So in the middle of our conversation she stops us. Goes quiet for a second and asks....do you baptize by full immersion? We responded yes....then she says do you do it with the authority Jesus Christ had? We said we believe we do yes. Then this next part is where it gets real! She gets are bubbly and smiley and says my husband and I have been searching for this. Thank you God! We ended up putting her on date for baptism at the door step. We then set a time to come back and start teaching her, her husband and 4 boys!!! If that's not a miracle I don't know what is!! I know that God leads us to "The elect ...those who love God with all their hearts and live lives that are pleasing to Him. Those who live such lives of discipleship will one day be selected by the Lord to be among His chosen children.". I love this and truly strive to be one of those elect. It for sure helps being out here focused on the saviour and preaching his gospel. It's been super amazing being out here o my goodness. With this it has truly built an amazing gospel foundation for my whole life and help me to realize what I should be doing here on this earth. Super grateful for that. But also still super excited as I got 6 more months to serve with all my heart and strength. Not going to lie though I'm getting pretty tired ahha. I guess this next couple months will be the real test of enduring well to the end Haha. But truly enjoy being out here sharing the gospel. We have two other people on date for baptism. One for May 4 and one for May 11 so I'm pretty excited about that. They both are doing super well and progressing tremendously in the understanding of the gospel. Truly one of the greatest parts is seeing these wonderful children of God start to understand the way back to our father in heaven! I know all can as we turn to Him and his gospel. I like what was said at general conference by President Nelson "He wants His children to choose to return to Him, prepared, qualified, endowed, sealed, and faithful to covenants made in holy temples.". I truly want this for me and my family. As well for others because I know it'll bring so much joy. I for sure am so grateful to be out here and hope all of you are doing super good! Hope everyone has 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...
