Sept 12-I constantly am in awe and thanksgiving because of all our Father in Heaven is providing for us here in Toronto.

Image
Well for sure having a set of YSA missionaries in this area of Toronto was inspired haha. Were able to put two more people on date for baptism this week! Both have Jamaican background and are all around really sweet guys. As of right now we have two getting baptized October 13 and then one October 20th. I constantly am in awe and thanksgiving because of all our Father in Heaven is providing for us here in Toronto. Being on busses everyday for sure provide a tone of cool experience as we are always talking to people. Something that has now happened multiple times is members from other countries that have just moved here coming up to us and asking for the church info as they haven't been able to figure it out. As well as members that haven't been to church for a while. This is super cool as I have seen the importance of always being out in a place where God can use you as an instrument in His hand. I know many times God uses us as individuals to show His love for us. We ...

Sept 3-...I know I don't capture even close to all that goes on in our weeks but I want to let everyone know it is amazing haha..

Another sweet week out here!!! So much is happening its incredible. I know I don't capture even close to all that goes on in our weeks but I want to let everyone know it is amazing haha. The girl we have on date for baptism is still progressing super well and has been able to give up some things in here life that were holding her back a little. She also has been coming out to all the activities put on as well as church. We had two of the people we are working with at church and should be 3 next week. As well as we should have another guy on date for baptism next week. God has blessed us an extreme amount in the short time we have been here. Also was able to start teaching a Korean guy! He's about 23 years old and his English is extremely limited. He has came to church twice now. We felt it would be extremely helpful to have a missionary in our mission that speaks Korean video call in and check his understanding about what we have shared so far. We ended up talking to the Korean...

Aug 26-When we work, miracles proceed..

Image
 When we work, miracles proceed. It's been a crazy adventure these past two weeks as we started off with no one to work with. Opening an area is for sure a new experience that I'm thankful to continue to be part of. Legit haven't had to go this hard and as consistently as we have in a while. But new challenges bring excitement and more to look forward to. I feel this week was a week to look back on and be extremely grateful for. We were able to get two of the people we have found on the street to church and one more committed for baptism on September 22! We found her just walking down the street Saturday night and met with her last night. She is 26 years old and just got to Canada a couple months ago. It's been amazing to see how so many people have a strong relationship with Christ in this area of Toronto. The other girl we have on date for baptism is still doing super well. We have a pretty strong relationship with her already and have been able to already se...

Aug 18-first week back in the city has been beyond amazing haha...

Image
Well this week flew by. The first week back in the city has been beyond amazing haha. Had to do a lot of driving around to get things situated with the zone but also had a lot of time to go out and find some new people. It's crazy how fast you can connect and share about the Gospel on a bus or waiting at a bus stop! Already seen some crazy sweet miracles and the hand of God in His work. One was at a bus stop about 4 days ago. Since we focus on YSA (18-30) we get to meet some pretty sweet people. One of which is a girl that just graduated from York University and is 22. She was just sitting at a bus stop and I decided to go up and sit beside her. We got talking and she opened right up. She had been struggling with finding a job, wants a new apartment and that had been stressing her out a lot. I was able to share how much the Gospel has brought stability and a peace of mind in my life. She agreed to meet the next day to talk a little more. Fast forward to the next day we were able ...

Aug 12-Moving/New zone in YSA Toronto:..what I am doing I know is the most important thing I could be doing in my life at this time...

Image
Well just wanted to start off by saying what I am doing I know is the most important thing I could be doing in my life at this time. Saving souls through our Savior Jesus Christ is the most important thing we can do at any point in our lives. But I guess I will be striving to do that else where as I got transfer calls and will be leaving Sudbury. For sure am very sad to be leaving as the miracles we have seen have been incredible. Too name a few from just this week, we found 7 new people to start teaching, had 12 of the people we are working with at church and are seeing some great progress with those we are working with that have a date for baptism. I will just barely miss the two people getting baptized in the next couple weeks, which is a little disappointing. But I know that God creates opportunities for others to reap from what you have sowed, which is completely fine as others have done the same for me. I love that we are all on the same team working for the Lord so it...

August 5-Note: ..Super super cool and grateful that God was able to lead us to these individuals that are extremely open...

What's up everyone!! Been doing very well out here. Had a crazy week as we traveled to Toronto and went on an exchange with another set of Elders serving in Timmins. On the exchange we had a really cool experience being led by the spirit to find an amazing Bohemian family that we are now teaching. We went to go drop by a couple other people that we are teaching at the moment and saw her on her steps. We had the opportunity to introduce the Book of Mormon and then share the whole Restoration. Super super cool and grateful that God was able to lead us to these individuals that are extremely open. Another amazing miracle happened Friday night. We had an appointment with this younger lady and her mom originally from Nigeria. It went super well and the spirit was extremely strong. We were able to put her on date for baptism September 21!!! I know this is God's work as this could not happen without the spirit of God being there. I feel that one of the greatest thin...

July 29-Its felt like this past 4 weeks has been a blink of an eye..had 7 people we are teaching at church..

Image
been a crazy week. Its felt like this past 4 weeks has been a blink of an eye. This week we had zone conference, an exchange with one of the district leaders in our zone and a baptism in our ward of a 8 year old that we helped with. Also had 7 of our people we are teaching at church which made things crazy...but so amazing. For real I know God is truly moving His work forward in these last days. Been really amazing as we have had so many lessons in these past couple weeks. We had a fun time as Saturday it was just pouring rain and we went knocking doors haha. Not going to lie no one let us in but one of the highlights of the week as it felt so good to walk in after being drenched and knowing we did something good .I find one of the things that hinder so many people we work with and talk to is there desire to not change for the better or aim for something less then the best. Which in turns leads them down a road of eternal unhappiness. In retaliation to this I came across this great ...
