April 22, 2019 Easter

So honestly we had another solid week. It's been consistently pretty nice here so that's sweet!!! Got to teach lots this week so that was super great, honestly everything is going so well. It was super nice being able to be out here on the mission for my second Easter. Really makes you think a lot more about the sacrifice that was made by Jesus Christ as you are out talking about Him daily. As well as bearing your witness of His ultimate, supreme and all atoning sacrifice that was made for each of us! His loved brother and sisters. How can you not be grateful for that? How can you not want that? I know I sure do. But this is because I have prayed, experienced and applied this in my own life. It would be understandable if you have never tried to ask for forgiveness or ultimately change from old ways that where wrong. But if you do I know you can and would feel the same way I feel about Jesus Christ. So why not see if you have the same feelings? Honestly this is exactly what we invite others to do daily. With the focus being Jesus Christ at this time of the year I was trying to study a little more about Him and what He did for us. One thing that really stood out to me is just His humility and willingness to fulfil our Heavenly Father's plan. "He knew we must be free to choose in order to prove ourselves worthy of exaltation. Jesus said, “Father, thy will be done, and the glory be thine forever”."(Gospel Topic). Just as it says there. He understood and realized our Father had a plan and He was the centre of that. What a blessing it is to be able to have our Savior Jesus Christ be so willing to endure these extreme pains and sacrifice for us! A key part was His Humility and obedience to His Father. I truly want to strive to be better at a lining my will with Gods to this degree. Be willing to do all He asks and His servants. A great example of someone being humble is a man we are teaching. He willing be getting baptized May 4 and he is willing to do the things that our Father in Heaven have asked of His children. Him and I alike do not understand why we do all we do. Or why God asks us to sacrifice curtain things, but we do understand we will be blessed and will ultimately be able to use the Atonement more actively. So really just great for Jesus Christ and being able to be out here sharing the feelings I have personally felt and the effects it has made in my life by choosing to follow Heavenly Father and our Savior Jesus Christ. Grateful for my parents for raising me in an environment that this was a focus. For sure am excited to do the same. Super just grateful for all I have been given and truly know that so much more will come as I turn to God. Hope everyone has a great week! Love ya

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...
