I hope everyone has had an amazing week.
Things have been pretty great here in Canada! It's been so exciting to
figure things out with the new ward added to my area, but it's been so
awesome! I never even know where to begin when writing this email
though, so sorry if it doesn't make sense or doesn't include interesting
information.
It's been raining here a ton! It's so fun to run around in the rain :) Canada is absolutely gorgeous!
It's
kind of cool because Sister Van Valkenburg came from my last area! It's
been so fun to talk about the people we both left behind! It's
definitely making me homesick for my last area though. I absolutely LOVE
Brookswood/ Willoughby! I am so grateful Heavenly Father allowed me to
stay here! I was sad to say goodbye to Sister Crane, but I know she'll
do amazing things in her new area! My subject line is one last parting
quote from Sister Crane. She always called me chicken nugget :) and when
she left she said "it's time the chicken nugget became the chicken."
Things
are going great here though! I love getting to know all the ward
members. Funny story, yesterday the elders had to give us something so
we were trying to figure out a place to meet up. We ended up meeting in
front of a members house. The elders parked in the driveway and handed
us what we needed. Right as we were about to leave the member came out
of her house, confused as to why there was a gathering of missionaries
outside! It was so funny! The member is a good friend of ours though so
we had a good laugh :)
Something I've started
to work on is studying the life of Christ. I've learned that it is only
because of Christ that we have to ability to become anything. Because
Christ loves us so perfectly as we come closer to him we learn how to
love more perfectly. I know that He is with us before, after, and during
our trials. Even if we can't feel His presence until after the trial.
It is because of Him that we can experience pure and lasting happiness.
So if you ever wonder why the Mormon missionaries are always at your
door to bother you, that's why. We just want everyone to have this same
happiness.
Have a great week!
